Hi guys,

I'm leaving BKK for Jomtien in 2-6 weeks. I have decided to buy a Kawasaki Versys 650 this week but where should a buy it? In Bangkok or Pattaya? What are the pros or cons to have a BKK bike in Pattaya? Will a BKK bike be more likely be stopped by the police for coffee/sangsom support money in Pattaya/Jomtien area?

Thanks

Hi,

I'm leaving Bangkok for Pattaya/Jomtien after 6.5 years in the smog and it would be nice to have a bike again.

I have been driving small and big bikes some month/years here and there but i would not say i'm an experient driver, not now anyway.  Last i was driving was when I had a Honda Wave 125cc and a JRD Quest 125cc for 1.5years when living in Phuket 6.5 years ago.

Now to my Question:
I don't know which bike i want, actually i want them both. Kawasaki KLM250 for off-road and driving around the town, and a Kawasaki Versys for long adventure trips around Isaan and even further. But i cant really afford them both. If Thailand had the KLM450 in the same price range i would easy choose that one but they dont.

I have read that Versys is quite capable of some off-roading if changing tires to Pirelli MT60 but not even near as good as a pure dual-purpose bike like KLM250. I think i have already decided to go for the Versys but then it would be very nice to have a real off-road bike too. Okay, go for the KLM250 then, Yes, it is a nice play bike and would be prefect in and outside town.... But it is powerless and my rear would start to hurt after couple of hours in to a long trip.

I have been driving them both but still can't make a decision... Any ideas???

I'm 182cm tall and weighs in at 103kg

Thanks, Peter

Hi,

I´m planing to buy an off-road bike, Kawasaki KLX250S.
Does anyone know if there are any changes or new features on the 2011 model compare to 2010 model?

Is there any shop in Bangkok who sells compleate 300cc or even 330cc kits with new camshaft and all for the KLX250S?

Thanks
