INSANE Thailand MOTORCYCLE Market! TOP 5 Bikes, PRICES and WHAT Have I Done, AGAIN!?!

[@martynrollinson]

I've had a pcx for 8 plus years... I recognised the seat problem straight away. Took to a shop and trimmed the foam hump and filled it to smooth it out, 300 baht....no need to sell.

[@goodvibespattaya]

Hi mate, yeah I went to a trimmer and was going to do just that and then a mate offered me his XMax for a crazy price and I was starting to do longer trips out of Pattaya including the trip to Samui so I decided to sell the PCX for those reasons, other than that the bike was great around Pattaya. Hope all is well with you and the family 😊

[@miked7172]

It amazes me when people say that the Honda Click is too small. In the past I have read comments that there is not enough room to put your feet. You are saying that it's too small for you and your lady to ride together. What???? I don't know how tall you are or how much you weigh, or how big the other persons feet were, but I am on the large side (6'3" tall, Size 14 US / 48 EU shoe size, and I weigh 130kg) and I have absolutely no difficulties at all, either alone or with a passenger. Also, no comfort problems on long rides to Koh Chang and back on my own. I have been riding My Honda Click 150 for 5 years with no problems whatsoever.

[@pauloinpattaya4677]

The Wave has just a bit more room for the pillion rider. Click is too small for me.

[@sidecar7714]

6’4”, Click is a great machine

[@terrydelve4988]

It is to small lol

[@goodvibespattaya]

It was great on my own but with Su on the back at 173cm and our dog my knees were up against the front panel and just simply uncomfortable and not good for anything other than a trip for a bite to eat or 7-11

[@stevehoward8014]

I’m 6 ft 1 150 kilo? I like them but the feet is an issue 14 4e, the guy that has 14 too can not get his foot on the foot rest completely. No way no how.

I’m in pattaya also. I bought a PCX about two years ago. Not one issue with it, a great bike for around town. The suspension isn’t great. I believe Honda put the R&D and production money into the engine, it’s amazing for its size. I’ll buy the ADV 350 in January as I want to do longer rides. Nice video.

[@goodvibespattaya]

Thanks mate, really appreciate you sharing your experience, you will absolutely love the ADV350 👍

[@Dave-and-Fon]

Good video, for big fellas....555 I am more Thai sized and have the Aerox (non ABS), awesome machine and still coping with daily abuse. I also have a Wave 125i, and that I have to say, is the most practical scooter for just about everything except long journeys. It's semi auto so it has engine braking, can carry tons of shopping, slim line to squeeze into those tight scooter parking spots, easy to fix, cheap to run, cheap to buy. Fon loves it and she rides like a demon.... I also have 2x CT125 for fun and my big bikes. As I said, I am not a big fella, so squeezing my knees in is something I don't have to consider when buying. Good video and subbed. Take care mate

[@goodvibespattaya]

Thanks for sharing this mate, really appreciate it and the sub. Cheers 🍻

[@bigphill67]

thanks for sharing have you seen the new GPX Dz3 just wondered on your thoughts about this 300 ccauto scooter cheers

[@goodvibespattaya]

Yeah I actually had it in the video and then edited it out because I said something a little negative about them, someone told me about their experiences with GPX which are not good and I said what he told me in the video which was “I made a mistake buying a GPX”. Personally I don’t know but for me I would stick with a Japanese brand and yes, I understand the GPX is good value but your ownership experience might not be great and resale.

That was a real eyeopener! Being Farang sized myself I thought I was being smart when I had made my mind up to buy a Honda wave - loads of them, no problem with parts or servicing.. but it's just not built for two. Thank you for a very useful and informative Vlog or whatever it's called.

[@jimcolless6931]

Hey great vid,have you any thoughts on the new GPZ DZ3?

[@goodvibespattaya]

Thanks mate, I had it in the video and edited it out because I said something a little negative that I had heard from an owner that bought a GPX second hand, not a 300 but he regretted buying it and sold it to buy my PCX 🤔

[@MarkRobert-BKK]

Years ago I read that in Thailand a motorcycle driver's licence is not mandatory for bikes with engine size below 135. Unsure whether that still applies, but it may explain to some extent the higher volume of sales for the Honda Wave.

[@goodvibespattaya]

I asked Su about this and she said if you ride a motorcycle on the road you need a license and between the age of 15-18 not more than 110cc 👍

[@ChrisHamilton-je7ln]

Is honda darkside cheaper then the honda on pattaya klang? Or is both places same price.

[@goodvibespattaya]

Should be the same but worth comparing, really depends on the model 😊

[@nathangrin9201]

I have a ADV 160 I’m 5’11” and 220 lbs and me and my Thai girlfriend are quite comfortable on it but she’s quite small only 5’2” and a 100 lbs. The taller and wider handle bars along with the taller seat height made a huge difference over the PCX 160 which I didn’t find comfortable riding solo. My biggest advice I can give to anyone looking at buying a new motorbike in Thailand is before you buy go to your local rental shop and rent the bike your interested in for a week or two better yet find a rental shop that has 2 or 3 models your interested in buying and just keep swapping every week. The best thing I can tell you about the ADV 160 is the brakes it has the best brakes in the 160 class and it’s not even close compared with the other 150-160 class bikes even has better brakes then the PCX 160. Cheers 🍻

[@goodvibespattaya]

They are great, thanks for sharing your experience mate and yes, very good advice re renting the bike you like before buying 👍👍👍

[@curbsplitter2338]

Hi Jason and Su! Great video mate. I started with a Honda QA 50cc, then a Honda CT 70. Great memories of riding through our town forest as a kid. Next was a Vespa scooter that was much faster than the CT 70 😅 finally bought a leftover crate 1982 Honda CB900 Super Sport and loved that rocket. Final upgrade was to a full dressed Harley Davidson in 1987. I didn’t stop riding until 2017 when my spinal problems left me with unreliable legs. Sadly it was too dangerous to ride and worry about laying it down if my legs gave out. I miss riding so much. I love the car and bike videos. I know they do have trikes in Thailand but there are many hoops to jump through in order to get it registered for the roads. I think using Grab will probably be my best option. So many good laughs during the video. Hope you are well mate, my best to Su and a pat to the monstah!

[@goodvibespattaya]

Hi mate, thank you for sharing your story about bikes and sad to hear that your spinal problems have slowed you down but at least you can say you owned a Harley for a long time 😬 Yep Grab or Bolt is a great way to get around and almost like having your own driver for not much money. Thanks again mate and take care 👍

[@steveperrin555]

I think if you check you'll find all those clutchless manual bikes like the Wave are all down strokes to change gear up and up strokes to change down gear..... Very awkward to start with, if you're used to normal bikes... you have to move your foot to the back bit of the pedal to change down.... can't use your toe like normal.

[@goodvibespattaya]

Thanks mate, that’s the way Su tried to tell so you would be right 👍👍

[@AJ-ww6qs]

What scooter would you suggest to hire for 6 months or so for a couple roughly the size of you too? Roughly same height? We will be mainly doing coastal rides Pattaya to bang Sare and a little beyond.

[@goodvibespattaya]

At least an ADV160 but for really good comfort and stability the ADV350 or Yamaha XMAX 300 👍 enjoy your time in Thailand and thanks for watching 😬

[@sarlina1]

I love my Honda PCX 160, amazing bike for me. I prefer that lower windshield. Just one question, since you said you can`t fit on that seat, but you can on a Honda ADV 160. How so? For me those two seats, sizes and bikes, look pretty much the same. So is the distance to the front wheel and stearing. As far as I can see they are built the same (also pretty much like the Yamaha NMax). I may be wrong, so that`s why I ask. Thank you for taking us on this tour 😊😊

[@goodvibespattaya]

Hi Sarlina, that’s great and I sold the PCX because a friend offered me his XMAX and it was to good to refuse plus I was about to start doing longer rides including the journey to Samui via ferry from Sattahip and then the return to Surat Thani and the massive ride back. It was the Click 160 that I had trouble with having Su and Lilly on the back, my knees were touching the front panel under the steering, I never had anyone on the back of the PCX when I owned it back in 2022 when I first moved here 😬 Thank you so much for your support and always taking the time to comment, I hope all is going well in China 😬

[@sarlina1]

@@goodvibespattaya Thanks for answering 😊 I might have said "fit" into the seat, but your word might have been "uncomfortable", because of the shape of the seat. I get that with longer travels of course. I just didn't understand the difference between the PCX and the ADV, the seats look and feel the same to me. But I'm of course a little shorter than your highness 😊 Thanks, it's looking good on all accounts for me now. No relapse on the c, and the pool villa project is going great. Slow, but great. Still have a few months left in Beijing, I really need that for my budget 😱😂

hi Jase and Su great video mate very enjoyable and interesting. I have a Lambretta V200 special 2019, more style over substance in my view, really stiff suspension and sporadically cuts out at low revs despite going back to the dealers a couple of times which is really frustrating. Considering trading it in for a yamaha nmax 125 sadly they don't sell the 155 cc model in the UK. Any chance finding out from any dealers out there if they are aware of any fixes for the lambretta. I know it is a big ask but if too difficult no worries mate. Thanks anyway. keep up the good work and best regards to you both and of course the little monster😀

[@molonlabe9602]

If you want the most bullet proof workhorse motorcycle, buy the Wave. If you want an automatic with a step (carry dog, small packages) buy the Scoopi or for more power buy the Click 160. Currently, I hop around on an MSX with engine modifications that almost double the stock HP... it's a fun little machine. I have a 2009 Honda CZi 110 and a Suzuki GSX-S150.

[@goodvibespattaya]

Like the other comment, the ADV350 but an option would be a Yamaha TMax560 but they are expensive, from 539,000 baht

[@MichaelSuisse]

@@goodvibespattaya I'll pay the price for comfort

[@davidramsy3048]

ADV would be my choice

[@goodvibespattaya]

The best mate 👍👍👍

[@AustinPowers-mp2be]

Gear ones ar the best last longer

[@goodvibespattaya]

Very true mate 👍

[@mattivirta]

wave,scoopy,pcx all have too small body, if big western men want drive, too small sitting and drive. handlebar crashed to knee and need sitting backseat. not comfortable drive. need biggest frame/body at bike. honda rebell 300 or 500cc have perfect Thailand road and city drive. not too small.

[@goodvibespattaya]

Thanks mate, the Rebel looks good but I do love the ADV350 👍

[@ramsoncole4605]

Can't you just get a custom seat? I've seen other youtubers get a custom seat for next to nothing.

[@goodvibespattaya]

I was about to do that on the PCX and then a close mate offered me his XMAX for a bargain price and started doing longer rides 👍

[@samsmester7983]

[@mattivirta]

How long have you been coming to Thailand? You even have "Pattaya" in the name of your channel. In all of this time, you haven't learned how to pronounce it properly? It's not difficult for Westerners from English speaking countries to say.

[@goodvibespattaya]

Mate I pronounce it like the Thais do, Pattia and have done for donkeys years, I will ask my Thai girl to clear it up in a video, am I wrong to pronounce it like the locals? Thanks

[@Nader_61]

Ummm...I'm Thai...and no, you don't.

[@goodvibespattaya]

@@Nader_61 okay, I just asked Su and she said I’m right but if you think I’m wrong tell me how to pronounce it please?

[@Nader_61]

Haha! Dude, she's a keeper. Trying not to hurt your feelings I guess. If you think I'm trolling, can you just ask someone else...ANYONE else!

@@goodvibespattaya G'day Su and Jas. I bought my first ever bike ( 2nd hand, Suzuki two stroke ) in Patong in 1992. How and why I'm still kicking on, I don't know. When I think about those days, I shudder. Stupid Farangs. I remember friends in the late 80s renting bikes in Malaysia and thinking they were idiots. Little did I know that, when I moved to Thailand permanently in the very very early 199O's i would become a xtra smart arsd moronic know all idiot Farang. Good onya both mate. I Care about you and your thoughts ( sometimes By the way mate, I THINK I haven't changed.. I'd love to tell you some funny stories Jas.
