2 stroke, 140cc, off-road bikes are quite expensive in Laos, due to demand. I bought it used (slightly) from a guy who was returning to the USA. Cost me about $2,000 USD. It's been very reliable, (which is good, since Kawasaki spares are hard to come by in north Laos!). Great fun to ride - it's a physically small bike which suits my body size. (midget).
Groping women when you're old is fine - everyone thinks you're senile

Cuddly toy this time?
Ridden bikes most of my life since a teenager. Still riding an 1100 cruiser in Qld although only on nice days now. I only ride around the local sois in Thailand or up on the small village roads up country. I never ride on main roads in Thailand.
You are probably more or less in front of the Shangri-La Hotel.
Just a big clutch fan staring you right in the face.
Some people think it don't, but it be.
Looks like a 4-stroke to me too, judging from the top of the engine.
I fancied buying a kawasaki trial bike for some time but they were still quite pricey in Thailand last time I looked (a good 10 years ago now). I only ride bikes on the dirt tracks in Thailand, seen too many accidents on the roads. There was a cheaper Chinese on but I didn't trust it to be any good, which may be a little bias nowadays.
Anyway, I found off-road cars to be more fun than off-road bikes.
Its really not about buying the moto, its buying a moto with more power and technologically beyond the riders capability. Virtually all the deaths I read about are some asshat who rents a 750 or 1 liter bike and have no clue how much motorcycle that really is, then overdrive it hitting power poles, cars etc. I guess the positive in it is that they typically only kill themselves but leave quite a mess to clean up.
I have always felt they should have license controls for cc ranges. 100 to 250cc, 250- 400cc, 400- 600cc and 750cc to 1 liter and dealers cannot sell to a customer unless they have taken the test.
Actually, you could be absolutely correct there! I recall the 2-strokes that I used to ride in the UK where you had to do the oil and petrol mixing yourself. Do you still have to do that? So 4-stroke it is..... I bought it from a 13 year old US girl in town - I don't think the legal rules of licence/insurance/tax etc apply here, (although I do have all of these).
