I rode up to the temple not long ago. Hope to go again. Will be renting the 250 ninja this time. Are there any good off road areas? Thinking of doing a bit of off road riding too. Not on the ninja obviously haha.
aye dude, some ppl may think "why did he post a vid like this, just him cruising around thai land on a bike" but seriously thanks, I got on the net today looking for exactly this, a Point of view shot from a bike or scooter in thailand. So thanks mate lol
Basically, you're paying for plastic and styling. The Yamaha fz150 has fuel injection, liquid cooling, and a counterbalancer all for less money. I'm not a salesman; I own a wave myself.
could maybee have found it cheaper if I'd shopped around but I liked the look of the shop and the bike was low milage and seemed well maintained - I'd rather pay a bit more and not have to worry ;-)
I was very impressed with the little Honda, it went quite well for a 200cc and as you say was very comfortable. I own a Yam XV1000 back in the real world so I liked the chop/crusier styling of the Phantom
nice vid. not sure if i agree with agressive riding, when in doubt - hug the kerb with the scooters, one other thing... watch out for the red taxis "Song Thaews" - they will stop anywhere at anytime looking for customers. Also watch out for old farang driving big cars, they think they are special.
agreed :) I got this exact bike last time i was there. Next time im going for a fuckin 600cc gsxr or a fireblade or something :D hahaha. i'll show those thai people how the Irish like to crash
gud lad! ;-) but b4 u crash the gixxer ride da bugger up to Wat Doi Suthep - the road up da mountain is a dream! good surface and bend after bend after bend after bend...
