I'm looking to buy a motorcycle in Khon Kaen. I basically need it to get to and from work, I don't do much riding in my free time because of my schedule. |

My commute is about 10 minutes by bus to one job, 15 to another all on the same bus. |

The choices for real motorcycles, the once who have clutch and gears, are getting rare in Thailand. Currently the most famous motorcycle with gears, still available, is probably the Tiger Boxer 250 RS. The Tiger is a great machine, the engine is simple but powerful enough to impress the biggest critics. |

Buying a second hand big bike like the Honda CB400 is something we cannot advice, most of this older big bike motorcycle have paperwork which have some degree of zig-zag or forgery involved. |

Im not sure of the details of the New Thai emission laws, but in most countrys if u are licencing a bike or car then they must pass the emission rules of the year of manufacture i.e a 2000 model CB 400 must pass the emission rules that were in place in the year 2000. A new 2010 bike must pass the current emmisions laws. |

The time it takes to generate a greenbook depends a bit on where you live, in Bangkok it can take a day to a week – when busy it can take up to 2 weeks. Up country it can take a bit longer, some people report that they needed to wait 4 weeks before the greenbook arrived. |

Thanks for all the great advice. I will definitely look into those models. There are a few good shops in the area, but I'm not above going to Sala Kham to find something decent. |

The Yamaha Spark 135i is also a great machine and easily available in Thailand. |

Big bike rego just seems like too much hassle and time consuming process, I would love to ship my 2008 CB600 hornet over to Thailand but that sounds like a nightmare process and very expensive too. |

If you just look for a motorcycle around 125 to 135cc the Yamaha Spark 135i is an excellent choice. The Spark is sporty, fuel-efficient, and remarkable easy to maintain. On fuel-injection technology the Yamaha is a bit simpler then the latest Honda PGM-FI, but that can also be seen as an advantage for Yamaha. Rural Yamaha dealers can still service your fuel-system without even understanding the basics of fuel-injection basics. |
