Motoring in Thailand and Asia Cars and motorbikes in Thailand and Asia, Where to buy and sell your truck? Where to get fixed and what garage to use. Should I buy a suzuki carry? Will it have a car DVD? Will my travel insurance cover me for driving in Thailand? Or should I just buy a Mercedes or a Honda CRV? Everything to do with motoring and vehicles goes in this section. Do I really need a driving licence in Thailand to drive to Bangkok car hire?

looks like it was first registered in Japan in 2002. Registered in Bangkok by the previous owner 3 years ago

You might be lucky and it's not had any surgery by Thais on it yet.

My old mates were good mechanics, but some of their methods were 'interesting'

Cold chisels to remove clutch baskets comes to mind. Or reusing gaskets after open heart surgery because the owner was too skint to get replacement ones.

Yamaha R1 I would be dead in a day but the V-max I could live with and Mrs S, I am more than happy with my wife's hanging baskets than the cost of all those gaskets... Dont worry!!!!

R1 overpriced & over hyped and easily over taken.

Dunno - but mine's well leaky.

The Magna is a better choice than your original 2. The CB is a lovely bike but a bit small (for me anyway). The V4 engine is better than the other 2 as well.
