Thread: where can I buy a used motorbike in pattaya

looking for a Honda click or air blade or a yamaha nuovo...not more than 2 years old...

Tricky one. I'm not sure Pattaya has any scooter shops...

First, how much do you want? Is it a 125cc? Where can I see it?

Baraka, its actually 145cc...........

How much do you want for it?

Why don't you start with the price as new, gosh that's an idea, innit?

I have given up buying anything used in Thailand. Bikes and cars are just the same, the price you are quoted for a 2 year old bike will be 90% or more of the cost of a new one, and there is no way to know its history.

Motorbike auctions. Thrupenny bit road. Friday nights.

I got a new this year Air Blade, with 1200 on the clock,EFI standard on them, 45k thats 10 k cheaper than I paid and had it's 1000 oil change and service.

I was there with a friend last nite and the only bike I was interested in, a 2006 Yamaha Nuovo in good condition, started at 13,000 baht. We bid on it but stopped when it got to 18,000. It eventually sold for 21,000. Too high and the same for the other 100+ bikes

No.

..

All this technical stuff confuses me.

we're talking about a little motor bike / moped thingy, right.

FFS 10,000 for what ever works.

You're not touring the world.

Traversing the open plains of the Serrengetti.

Crossing the Arctic wastes with the intent of discovering gay polar bears, or what ever.

You're going down the pub.

Get real.

It seems to do alright with my wife and I on it a couple of times, and that should be 120kg.
As I weigh 70 and she is getting chubby, after all we have been married for 10 years and most start to get lardassed after that many years feeding in the same stall.
It has more juice because of the no transmission to eat power and has the SkiDoo snowmobile drive.

Lot of snow there ?

I know you are Aussie, but not that thick are ya.??

Just incase you do not know, and from your comment you do not.
Bombardier(sp) the same company as Mercury marine products and Ski doo and Sea doo, was the inventor of the 2 continuously changing pulley drives that made the variable speed snow mobiles drive system possible is also used in the new Honda Citys six speed Odrive and in the Honda Click and Air Blade.
They have no transmission, just 2 changing diameter drive pulleys. one controlled by centrifugal and the other by spring pressure.

I'm 85K, Laosy is 45K, Airblade still does 62 MPH.

But you know JJ, sometimes in the evenings something happens to his thinker system and his drive pulley freezes and his driven one loses traction..
