I just arrived to Bangkok and I'm happy again❤❤❤

One word of warning for folks who get the "twist and go" scooters. Without gears going downhill you have no engine braking so you will be on the brakes more in the mountains. I've been riding all my life, and for a small bike I'm looking at the Yamaha Exciter, which is a 160 with a 6 speed. Better for mountain riding for sure.

Hi, so basically the only two documents required for a ferang to purchase a motorbike are a passport & residence certificate ? Many thanks

[@PerplexedVet]

Detailed and awesome! Thanks for all this info.

[@bengunn4373]

Excellent guide, thank you. I will be moving to Buriram in 12 months and it is likely that we will buy the Honda ADV.

[@TheNarrowGate]

Good choice!

[@seanrrichards]

We are in Ubud, Bali right now and we each rented an Nmax 155. They took a little getting used to because the front end is a little larger/heavier than a 110 or 125....but after a couple of days...wow they are awesome. Up the mountains, super breaks down. A solid choice!!!

[@user-hz5zn6fm4w]

Smaller is great for the city ,easier to drive around ,I like your honesty thank you

[@ThailandOrBust1111]

Nice thank you low prices!

[@CamboFord]

Haggle then down they are quite high compared to private sales.

[@jimmyglen]

Great selection at this dealer

[@CamboFord]

I have the older model Forza like the first one you showed, it eats up highway and is the one to buy if you're going touring, but I would upgrade the suspension to the YSS shocks. I also have an NMAX and I have done long distance road trips with it, but the Forza is superior. 100% get whatever you buy checked out as they polish up well at the market but might be worn out. The NMAX is a great deal over similar aged PCC as it has front and rear disc brakes on all models Some PCC have rear drum brakes. So if you're gonna do some road trips, spend the extra on a Forza or XMAX, and remember to haggle a better deal than the sticker prices at the markets or look at places like Facebook marketplace for the cheapest deal. Just make sure you check the condition of the bike.

Thanks for this video. What insurance do you use for your motorcycle as well as for your health insurance? Thanks!

[@TheNarrowGate]

Thanks for watching. Our health insurance is through AIA and the motorbike insurance is through Srikrung. 😊🇹🇭🙏🏻

[@JohnVogel-dt9uf]

@@TheNarrowGate thanks!

[@CamboFord]

Actually I want to know how many kilometres that white Forza has on it. Very interested.

[@simbatran]

Can’t decide either an ADV350 or the Vespa 300

[@CamboFord]

ADV would be my choice

[@st.surfer1924]

How much room is there for negotiating price. Do you pay sticker? Is there add ons?

[@TheNarrowGate]

Depends on where you go. Everybody is different.

[@jimmyglen]

Is this dealer in Bangkok?

[@CamboFord]

Chiang Mai

[@naingaunglwin833]

Location please

[@TheNarrowGate]

Google RuamChok Secondhand Bike Market

[@BiaMaith]

Why make a video with the title motorcycle guide then proceed to show only scooters and barely mention Motorcycles. I get they may be called motorcycles to Thai people but your video is aimed at westerners where a scooter is a scooter and a motorcycle is a motorcycle.

[@washingtonrl]

In Thailand, these vehicles (Rods) are referred to as motorcycles (moo-dtee-sai). You may be a westerner and you will think of a crotch rocket, which that style is in Thailand as well, maybe a lower cc than a western bike. If you have trouble understanding it is a different country, culture, and terminologies, stay put.

[@TheNarrowGate]

😁

[@BiaMaith]

@@washingtonrl you are clearly wearing full biker gear in the thumbnail and as I already explained, your video is aimed at westerners not Thai people. You are misleading people for clicks, it's called click bait. It was very easy click, don't recommend channel again 👍
