Complete rot.

A friend of mine made a massive saving buying a German car from Germany rather than the UK.

Jap dirtbikes are 90% cheaper in US than Britian. Just how does that work then? Economies of scale?

No, thats just rip off Britain

Agreed, I ride a wave 100% of the time and it's just what I need to ride in Chiangmai safely. I cannot figure to ride a Ducati supersport on the Thailand's crappy roads, maybe ok for some overweighted frustrated foreigners who like to show off. Just useless.

It just make me laugh when I see those Harley riders in Chiangmai, posing as they are the center of the world. Without their bikes they would be looked at as a dog shit.

I would say an Emeperor Tud "Wrong" to that.

To ride yes, safely no.

To ride safely I would say a bike similar to the one in the OP with motard or street tyres on it. Higher up, better visibility for you and the other drivers. Less chance of speed wobble if you are going over 50kmh.

One thing those waves etc are is not safe, convenient & cheap they are, but never safe. Woeful brakes, skinny tires with no grip and cheap & nasty suspension.
My 1L bike is much safer but a not a pleasure to ride around in the city, so I use both.

As for no roads to use a big bike, all I can say is you need to get out your house and open your eyes up, there are many terrific big bike roads here, some of the best riding to be found anywhere and you have the weather for it.
Thailand is one of the best places anywhere to own a big bike.

Some people can never come to terms with others who have a liking for Motorcycles, for some reason it instills fear in them, maybe hangover from the old biker gang thing, maybe they just have a fear of something they don't understand, maybe its just jealousy.

Big bikes have tremendous power available and capable of great speed, so I imagine if I didn't have the balls to ride anything other than a Wave that can barely reach the speed limit, I would be a bit pissed as well.

I used to be able to get my Tiger Ozone off the clock behind a truck down a small hill with the wind behind me ~ 120 or so.

Now that took balls.

Yes, but not selling here.

There is a Triumph distributor in RCA Marmers, selling all brand new Trumpies.
Al thought they are shipped in from Engerland because the factory here only makes components , so far.

^ Thanks for the clarification.

What would a scrambler set you back?

Where is Bung with his W650 he has been quiet.

Out at the Nakon Chaisi track South of Bangers they have regular small bike racing, You get 30 of these 125's going at it with 30 Somchai riders and only one brain between the 30 of them, its fun to watch, 125's going in all directions.

I've heard that the fuel injected model dyno's at 20 hp with stock exhaust and airbox.

If you got another 2-4 hp flowing it up, wouldn't be too bad for a 127 kg bike.
The lil thing will likely get close to 100 mpg.

Can't read Thai at all, i like the look of the ZX6 R how much do they go for?
