Thread: Yamaha SR in or around Pattaya

Anybody know of a shop in or around Pattaya that sells Yamaha SR's preferably 500cc ones?

Thanks in advance

I know of a few, do you want them with a legit green book?

You'd can PM me if you need help.

I'll put my hand up for any SR500, don't care for green book.


To the OP, jump on facebook and search for SR400 Pattaya, there is a few Thai guys selling bikes and parts around here.

Sorry Big Fella just trying to get my head around SR V twin ( as they are 1 cylinder )

Or are you talking about the SRX as it has 2 Exhausts & only 1 cylinder.

Is there much price difference between a 400 cc and a 500 cc?

I know a Thai guy payed 41,000B for SR400 with book
Fondle payed around the 80,000b.
I think that you will have to be at the right spot at the right time to find what your looking for

Nope a Yamaha V twin that is of the same style as the SR and from the same era. It wont let me post a picture of it but the link to loads of pictures is here

I paid 100k, was looking for a very long time though and most were between 70k and 90k but most were either piles of crap or had dodgy books.

TBF I have never seen that bike before, thank for the link.
I have a SRX600 now she's 640 with a 99mm piston.
With straight though exhaust.

As said I love the Sr singles just for the sound they make and this V Twin sounded sort of twice as good if you know what I mean Different to your normal V Twin Lovely looking as well and it had a plate on it so I will have to call by and ask if it has a book.

It looks like the SRV are only 248cc

YAMAHA SRV 250 1983 - 1993


YAMAHA SRV 250 (1983 - 1993) Description & History: The bike was manufactured in the 80's and at the beginning of the '90's. The machine had an air cooled, four stroke, V twin, SOHC, 248cc engine and a dry weight of 146

Good lookin bikes, shame they are only 250cc as Ratch mentions.

Here's one for sale, I can't read Thai so ive no idea if it has a book or not.

A V twin has 2 cylinders. That's why it's called a twin.

Good luck, nice bikes. To be honest I was unaware of the 500 model, plenty 400s kicking about though.

The SINGLE cylinder SR sounds nothing like the TWIN cylinder V twin

Hi guys

I think a good start would be reading my SR buying guide:
go to omega-racer dot blogspot dot com and search for "Buying an SR in Thailand"
(sorry, not allowed to post links)

If you're looking for an SR with green book, I would go and check out the srthailand.com forum. There are lots of SR for sale, sometimes even with book.
