Pom_Jao_Choo Posted November 25, 2004 Report Share Posted November 25, 2004 I will not return to LOS for 3 more years. But one of the things I am greatly anticipating on my return is having my own motorcycle. Some of my friends are motorcycle enthusiasts here in the west. And I would like to show them what it is I'm saving for. Anyone know of an internet link that would show a Honda or other of the qoute - unqoute "chopper" style. I'd really appreciate it.

Guest Posted November 25, 2004 Report Share Posted November 25, 2004 only honda and kawasaki have "chopper" style motorcycles made in thailand, and they do suck compared to real choppers. but thai made motorcycles have one speciality - the little racers, 125 or 150 cc bikes, with incredible horsepower (some of the 150's come from the factory with over 40 PS). well tuned those bikes are cannonballs. i had once one of 'em, didn't do much tuning apart from sprockets, exhaust and other little things, mainly did up the outside. but the professional tuning shops here can do wonders. there is a huge industry on tuning bikes, and very cheap as well. just get some of the bike magazines. i don't really ride motorcycles anymore, but everytime i see a nicely done up bike here, there it itches me to get another one.

khunsanuk Posted November 25, 2004 Report Share Posted November 25, 2004 Hi, "i don't really ride motorcycles anymore, but everytime i see a nicely done up bike here, there it itches me to get another one. " I know exactly how you feel. Really miss driving a bike, but I would want one that's a bit more than 150cc. Used to drive a 700cc Suzuki Intruder back home and really loved that bike. Sanuk!

Pom_Jao_Choo Posted November 25, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2004 On my last trip to LOS I discovered that I'm not as retired from stupid midnight racing as I should be. I love that thrill. But I am going to be sensible and get comfortable ride bike. Anyone know a link ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elef Posted November 25, 2004 Report Share Posted November 25, 2004 Hi PJC, I bought a Honda 125 last time in Pattaya, but the only thai motorcycle website I know belongs to a member here - Fatbastard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 25, 2004 Report Share Posted November 25, 2004 if you want thai made bikes, just type the brand into google and have a look. imported bikes are a lot more expensive to keep up, if you don't know a whole lot, you should stick with the reputed shops (like fatbastard, or superbike - i think that's how it's called - the big shop at sukhabiban 3). if you know a lot and search around here, you can get amazing deals. but you have to know a lot more than me.

olorin Posted November 26, 2004 Report Share Posted November 26, 2004 Here is a Honda Phantom made in Thailand, think the price is between 70,000 and 80,000 Baht, pretty nice. http://www.aphonda.co.th/product/phantom2004/index.asp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
