Shopping for My Next Bike at a Bangkok Mega-Store

New subscriber, I'm not necessarily a motorbike enthusiast, but your channel is so much more, very informative and delivered in a calm, clear manner.

[@Rides4Kickz]

Thanks and Welcome 🙏

[@thomaskovats162]

Cannot believe all those clean looking bikes ! Thanks for sharing a fun afternoon!

[@silverarrow2558]

I love the videos you do on bikes tganks for sharing

[@geecee4746]

That's a great showroom, plenty of bikes, and room too look around them👌👌👍👍

Kid in a candy shop comes to mind😅 Great to view your level of enthusiasm for a leisure pursuit close to your heart.

[@untamedsmiles1338]

Awesome they accept trades!

[@byronthayer8990]

Buy the Triumph! Best bike for the buck!

[@SunnynPhilly]

Great selection at that bike shop. I’m liking the retro style at the moment. Yamaha PG-1, Kawasaki W230/ W800

[@DigitalNomadInvestor]

I never regretted buying a Ducati Monster. I got it new at the Pattaya Ducati (it closed during the pandemic).

[@jrnumex9286]

Thanks!

[@Rides4Kickz]

Awesome 👍🙏🙏

[@chrisrussell6781]

Has to be the Bonneville for me.

[@timothyrill3825]

That was a great place to visit! So many different types and styles to look at. If I ever look to buy one , you are my consultant and go to guy for advise. 😊

[@Rides4Kickz]

Thanks Timothy

[@texasruss]

I’m partial to the “family truckster”. It’s perfect for hauling my gear and riding all over Thailand. Thanks for the tour. Looks like i need to come up with about $10,000 for my next bike in Thailand. I can park it next to my $10,000 knock down house. Gotta have one of those also!

[@frankiesmart1113]

Dang Lucas. You need a garage for the bike collection! Good for you man! 🫵

[@onkelskrue2234]

Finaly, some MC content

[@johntheaccountant5594]

The Big bikes I keep considering in Thailand: Honda Rebel 500 so short Thai secretary can use Honda CB650R for those 4 cylinders Honda CB1100 for those 4 cylinders Kawasaki Z900RS for those 4 cylinders and bench seat and analogue looking dials.

[@Rides4Kickz]

Very nice, so many choices 👍🤣🤣

[@Robertmacmedia]

Nice selection I like the ADV 350 Have a great day 🙏

[@Rides4Kickz]

Same to you Robert 👍🙏

[@johntheaccountant5594]

If you are considering a Kawaskai Vulcan; think; do you want forward pedals and type in KZbin Rebel 500 vs Vulcan and see the reviews. Honda is always a safe bet in Thailand.

[@themacker894]

Good to see you having fun and sharing in the excitement. BTW, I'm not a bike guy though the green one on the click bait screen sure is nice looking! Thanks for taking us on another adventure. ;)

[@Rides4Kickz]

Hey Lucas, fantastic vid , Great Range of second hand bikes I am partially to the BMW personnel Decent prices also thank you for the time spent on the vid Great information Cheers Chris

Good prices on the Speedtwins, far better bike that the T100 to ride but it seems comfort for two is more your priority

Enjoyed the vid!! Some very sweet rides indeed...like a kid in a candy store, so hard to choose!

[@anthonydowling3356]

Huge selection at mostly reasonable prices ,and you get a smile from Fa thrown in .Nice . I like the small BMW 310 cc ,at what seems a cheap price for a BMW.

[@Rides4Kickz]

Good choice!

[@johngagne986]

What a great resource Lucas. Thank you. BMW did stop making the C650. Mine is the C650GT model. Great little cruising bike.

[@Rides4Kickz]

👍👍👍

[@jgb4unme1]

Lots to chose from! I like the Burgman:) and the bmw scooter, but it is expensive! lol You need one of those Ducatis! Zoom! Have a safe trip!

[@Rides4Kickz]

Right on!

[@guzziman]

You would love the Guzzi V7.... CB 1100 Black edition... BMW R1250R .... Z900 RS SE.... BMW R Nine T.... can't go wrong with any of them... I am like you, same age, getting off the touring bike, more standard bike and you can also tour on it for few days if you have to, even at our age

[@RaymondMullen-t9j]

Thanks for sharing and happy Thanksgiving from the USA ! Enjoy ...

[@ka509]

I loved the 2 cb1100s that i had- 2014's. I rolled one up to 80k miles so I bought a second worrying that i would wear it out. Both were used and with under 1k miles for around $5k to $6k. Nobody wanted that bike here! Sold one to my buddy for $2000 as long as I get use of it when I come back from thailand to go camping in the rockies. I have 150k miles of experience on the bike, so if you have any questions about upside or downsides, just ping me.

[@Rides4Kickz]

I am a bit concerned about the bike running hot over here, due to the air cooled engine. Any issues with that

[@molonlabe9602]

Buy the T100! I took delivery of my Speed 400 (enough bike for me) from Bangkok just over 2 weeks ago, it won't have a red plate when all the documentation arrives. I believe that only Pattaya, Phetchaburi and Prachuap have red plates for motorcycles. Looks like a big oil stain under that Gold Wing. Welcome to the good side of the bay!

[@Rides4Kickz]

Very nice!

[@danderson8463]

Nice to see a few Benellis, that cheeky wee 502C has my name on it. think the more i see it i prefer its looks to the Diavel.

An Indian scout would be a good option. But then I’m biased. I love mine back home.

[@jdshemp]

I had a Victory Octane, pretty fast bike, but came with Bias Ply tires, and non ABS, got pretty sporty on wet roads.

[@handhold1415]

Had a 2005 t100 put 40k miles on it. I now have a 2018 T120. It's worth paying the extra for a T120.. 😊

[@Rides4Kickz]

I believe you are right 👍

[@frankspencer9308]

I like looking at bikes, but not riding them on the streets, only off road, as I had a few friends killed on these death trap coffins on wheels. I had a Honda 350 scrambling machine back in 72 for a while. My favorite bike was the 1972 Kawasaki Mach IV H2 Triple, aka the Widow Maker. The 750 was a suicide machine. Beautiful sound.

[@Rides4Kickz]

👍👍👍

[@REALPERSON-mv9mp]

I love the CB1100 style frame and seat and motor placement. Don't forget about the new CB400👍. If the 1100 came in 650cc and the same style that's what I would choose for carrying passengers and day trips..thanks alot..ps I made mistake on last video comment , the average house price in Washington is actually 650k,,,Seattle its 850k Thanks for the video was different with no food stop..

[@JoohanPomppas]

T100 would be my option. CB110 and others is too heavy for city driving. I had Versys 650 too and changed it to Z900. More power for me then I can handling. T100 is good to drive with 2 people. So gf can be taken around too.

[@rappers5719]

C800 will do for me or the Bonny. You definitely need a smaller commuter as well. Kid in a sweet shop comes to mind. 😉

Question ? I have CB300 F and the Digitial odometer lights are fading. I have priced a new one at about 3000B. But Honda Big Wing has said if it is replaced the odometer will start from ZERO. Do you know anything about this? Great video many bikes to look at there.

[@timallison8560]

that blacked out cb500x behind you looked pretty sweet

[@andrewmack2161]

I'd guess that the Rebel and the Vulcan are both made in TH, so they're cheaper new and therefore more popular.

[@jdshemp]

I had a 2017 Harley Night Rod that I sold before moving to Thailand, don't see many here.

[@BOFA229]

Try a rebel 1100. Would be great for Thailand roads. Great mix of light cruiser and semi sporty bike.

[@Rides4Kickz]

I think some of those rebel 500 were traded in to buy rebel 1100s 🤣

[@sidecar7714]

CB 1100RS all day. They’re around 565k new, so I don’t think those prices are too out of line 👍

[@Rides4Kickz]

My only concern with them is the fact they are air\oil cooled. Would rather have water cooled over here in the heat, but if you stay out of city traffic, they might be ok.

[@sidecar7714]

@ Is the 10° atmospheric temperature difference a genuine concern for over heating? I doubt it.

[@carleto9597]

Thanks for the update of Bike shop in Bangkok. Question Locus, about 3 + years ago you did a video of a older Thai man Shop I think In Pattaya and had a 1990 or 91 HD Softail in his little shop, you remember his Address or Location??? Thanks Locus

[@Rides4Kickz]

Could have been Route 66 on Klang, not sure if they still sell bikes or not, I think they used to do rentals of HDs.

[@johntheaccountant5594]

Try a Honda Monkey 125; you will be surprised the smile you will have on your face. They are only 100,000 baht new in Thailand.

[@antonr.7776]

Triumphs are so awesome

[@guzzijack9714]

@15:12 you skipped over the Triumph 1200 Thruxtun RS. I had one with the half fairing for a few years, amazing torque monster of a bike but not comfortable for me to ride (I'm too tall). I didn't ride it much but sure liked seeing it in my garage and I miss it.

[@raystewart365]

The all new CB1000 Hornet is due out early next year, definitely worth a look

Yes, for sure 👍

Hi, big guy should go with big bike, I will take the gold wing. Good luck and enjoy at Hua Hin,

[@Rides4Kickz]

👍👍👍

[@prontsc]

I own the only Suzuki VL-800/CT-500-C5 class in Germany, probably Europe. Imported from the USA and after conversions to EU standards found out that it is classified as a C-5 motorcycle whereas other imports are C-4 and C-6. That means I can not sell the bike as a whole, only parts since I would need pollution classification and tests that would make the bike too expensive to sell. Suzuki/Germany never mentioned that when speaking to them prior to importtion. Would never sell anyway!

[@Rides4Kickz]

Very interesting, but I think a good bike to cruise Deutschland 👍

Hi, Lucas! Does Thunder Bike own the used bikes outright OR are they on consignment?

[@Kevin-px7so]

Motorcycles don’t get red plates like cars anymore. Had 4 new bikes in Thailand none were issued red plates.

[@molonlabe9602]

3 provinces still issue red plates for motorcycles. Pattaya, Phetchaburi and Prachuap. I was informed of this by the salesman (Bangkok) who sold me my Speed 400.

[@PREPFORIT]

I like the Beamers.

[@Rides4Kickz]

[@pauldestocki5176]

Have to be careful buying a Triumph. I was at a dealership in USA when they uncrated a Speed Triple with no rings in the motor. I won't trust them.

[@Teacher-T-Thailand]

The reason bikes have low miles and not taxed for 3 years is because they’ve taken 3 years to repair the bike after an accident. They do good jobs of it, and put new accessories on to make it look good, but at the end of the day is accident repaired. Not all. But very common in Thailand. Buy second hand, take your gamble.
