I presume any insurance company will not insure, unless said motorcycle is fully legit. ie issued with a green book.

For most motorcycles that are specified you can get your standard stock parts in Thailand without much delay. For a Suzuki GSX-R1000 before 2008 you can only get parts that are the same on the 2008 model. Of course Suzuki has all parts from 2008 up to the 2012 model. The same as with Yamaha which has no parts of the YZF-R1 before the 2007 model, but anything between 2007 up to 2012 is easy to get. Honda has all parts available for the 2012 CBR1000RR.

Wrong, Suzuki Thailand only stocks parts for the 2010-2011 G

hi guys

just to update the thread ,i id picked up a very nice  cbr1000rr (Not restricted)
nearly bought  a cheap hayabusa but i thought maybe thats overkill because id never use the top speed of it on thai roadz !
i know many people says dont get one a grey  import one  but i did (it was about 150k-200k  cheaper than similar bikes  with books )
it has an original  invoice and the excise duty paid so the option is  there to make a green book if necessary (i can live with a few 500 thb fines
with the amount saved on purchase price providing it dont get confiscated   Posted Image

)

anyways ,back to the bike
its so easy to ride ,i heard horror stories about bikes with this much power but its really easy to make it do what you want Posted Image

it can weave in and out ,you can lean it nearly all the way over even at low speeds
it goes like shit off a shovel and agile as a cat ! ,i never had a bike this responsive or quick before ,and the brakes are fantastic
(much better than my previous bikes )
i still keep the versys nd my scooter for
a daily runner and use this for fun and weekends and so far so good

Happy dayz!

Congrats on your new bike. Invoice only? Good luck with that!

What about insurance?
Still covered without a green book?

....or how about a MINI COOPER S JCW GP....like I have! Not outright sport, but with its supercharger and light weight and only 2 seats comes pretty close. You can get one 2nd hand for around 2m and a little for a good low mileage model (mine has only 15000 miles on it) and have plenty of money to spare...to buy a big limo or so! It is exclusive, eye catching, goes plenty fast, sounds gorgeous with its exhaust pops....and girls luv it! Posted Image

Not quite the same is it, when you're down the pub having a few beers with your mates. When someone will ask, "wot you drivin mate?" and you reply "mini" imagine barrels of laughter!!!
