Hi, I live in Thailand and I have a retirement visa that I renew each year, i an 58. I want to buy a BMW 800 SG in the UK and import it to Thailand, the same bike in Thailand is more than double the price. |

And when you have your BMW imported from the UK it will be 3 times the price. Unless you would import it via diplomatic channels. |

Agreed, although bigger bikes are much more expensive than most western countrys, the hassle and taxes involved make the import of bikes almost prohibitive. |

To explain the import duty and taxes I made a small calculation example, for this example I use the Kawasaki Vulcan 900 Classic, this motorcycle is not made in Thailand – but is still available from Kawasaki Thailand. |

The BMW F800GS costs in new in Thailand 770,000 Baht, what looks expensive. But the BMW F800GS costs new around £ 10,995 in England. |
