@@willnewton3002 basically a waste of time even trying unless you want to give it away for free and the receiver knows they’ll have a bike they can’t realistically use long term.

was it easy to sell the bike away in d end of the trip? i heard bike rental not worth it cos when we go into accident... the rental company will squeeze alot fine on the person who rent it.
Callum, Looking forward to the series. You mentioned that you were looking for some questions to answer in a Q&A session. It is difficult to ask them now as you may well deal with them during the series, but here goes with a few. 1 - Can you please go go into the paperwork etc needed to take your bike across the border? 2 - How often did you stop riding for a stretch, hydration regain your concentration etc? (I am a 62 year old on blood pressure medicine and 60 to 90 minutes is about time for a break for me) 3 - What did you find the best time to book your accommodation The night before, in the morning, lunchtime or when you arrived? 4 - Did you find much option between riding on the highways or the B roads? 5 - Did you find that Malaysia has good “hard shoulders” for bikes to rid on? 6 - Do you feel that (aside from cost) touring on a manual bike has any advantages or disadvantages to riding on an automatic bike? 7 - How did you find the change in temperature as you rode up into the mountains? I hope that at least some of these questions may be of interest to you. My wife and I both have a Honda PCX each and we live and ride around Chiang Mai. Looking forward to the series and we enjoy the channel. Keep up the good work
I purposely refrained myself from watching this series when in first got out so that i can watch all of them in one go. I know this will be a good series for sure
Absolutely loving this!! Brilliant that you include all the bike search because then makes it easy to copy, really curious though, how much were the bikes costing? Great work mate 🙏
Thanks mate - lots more detail coming in the following parts so stay tuned. We paid about $900-1500 for the bikes in NZD. Maybe 450-900GBP per bike. Cheap as chips but you need to be prepared to possibly lose that whole cost. Where as in the final part you'll see what we ended up doing.
Great stuff!! I think you guys are gonna have a real fun time on this ride. Have you guys tried the local Malaysian reversed rain jacket look whilst riding yet?
High praise mate! Thanks so much. I’m finally doing the finishing touches on our chat from before the trip! Got a bit busy there. Your videos have been amazing btw. Keep it up.
Next time you're coming here maybe shoot an email or something to Aveta Malaysia so they could lend you their Aveta Ranger. They'd probably love to collaborate & feature their bike on your channel.
Heyyaaa thanks for the notification before. I enjoyed the video although only remember to comment today. 😂 Keep up your love for small kapchai . From stock Yamaha LC135 owner 💪🏻
Awesome Video looks like a right laugh. Couple questions: what price range (NZD) were the bikes? Any plans to make this a regular trip people can join? Cheers
Yess! Love to see my bike (Lagenda 115, but in Indonesia is called Jupiter Z1) in action! So inspire me to have a nice long distance trip! Looking forward for next episode 👍
@@SmallBikeStuff Lived in Kuching, over in Borneo for 12 years, recently moved to Melaka. Unfortunately not riding to Thailand this trip, flying into Krabi and will sort out a rental.
@@angmohmoto awesome mate! Thanks a cool trip. If you can make it up to Khao Sok national park from Krabi that’s a real great spot but have fun regardless!
Thanks we did! The bikes were all fine with their temperatures. Well - it seemed that way at least. We did a few oil changes along the way which helps when doing long high distance days.
Finally....waiting on the first ride out. This looks like it's going to be a fun adventure. Was thinking you guys would pick on the 125's but color me surprised. Guess it's true, go for the bike that steals your heart.
Thanks so much for watching part 1! Haha choosing bikes was the hardest part. Choosing a Future 125 would have been a good idea in hindsight but the Wave Alpha 110 held up fine.
Amazing first episode! However, no wear near enough mamak in this episode and needs way more durian. I really wish things had worked out for me to meet you guys for the KL part of the trip.
@@SmallBikeStuff i did bagkok south then afterwards north to changmai got motorbikes just south of chaigmai all the way through the north of thailand to loas down the mekong and into cambodia and then south coast back to thailand was awsome and you guys make me want to go on an adventure again
Anyone can do a ride like this mate! Just takes a fair bit of planning and some thinking ahead. Even with the money side of it. Just need to pay for flights then figure everything else out before ya leave. Keep watching and you might be keen to do a trip yourself.
Simple tips...if u wanna ride to thailand next time, ....honda will be my suggestion coz mostly thai people uses honda wave 125... So if any issues occur.. it will be easier in terms of parts etc...
Yeah bad timing on our behalf for the Futures. He’d just sold a huge bunch of them not long before we arrived. Would have been more exciting get an Aveta Ranger Max 😉
In Thailand they require your address to be verified by your own countries embassy. Malaysia doesn’t have this requirement. If you have someone local you can use that’s great. Otherwise whatever suits.
Who needs GS1250 when 125cc is enough for fun factor? Also when was this? How about next trip all if you guys use same cc(135 or 150) just for fun. Might be quite expensive for 'rent' though.
The reason we bought is because it’s much easier to ride long distance and much easier to cross the border. Rental bikes need extra paper work and it can be difficult to get it. Plus most companies won’t let their bikes leave the city.
@@SmallBikeStuffyeah thought so. Yamaha's motorcycle are quite expensive. The Honda's 150cc 2nd hand are basically same price as Yamaha's 135cc 2nd hand. Just a suggestion. You already spend quite a lot with these trip too. Glad you able to do another trip.
I hope you had as much fun riding here as we will watching your video. I wonder if it will be interesting or educational for your other audience on the origin of the word kapcai. It literally means little cub, as it decended from the original Honda Cub. I really wish i could havw inherited my grandpa's C70 but i think one of my uncle took it.😂
Thanks so much! I had a blast riding on this trip. Being back home in NZ has been quite dull compared but it's nice to relive things by sharing the video series! Only 2 ish hours till part 2 is released!
I talked about that topic for almost an hour in this video: ua-cam.com/video/9xDz7R_UL98/v-deo.html But incase you don’t want to watch it, essentially the answer is ‘Why not?’

Glad it’s finally getting the algorithm treatment. Thanks for watching part 1! 2 is live now and 3 is live in only six hours time.
Great stuff!! I think you guys are gonna have a real fun time on this ride.
Have you guys tried the local Malaysian reversed rain jacket look whilst riding yet?
Haha yes it's a great style. I've tried it before! Thanks so much for watching.
Wow what a start of a EP1C adventure !
Appreciate the view mate. Thanks so much.
man really make a research on bike culture i really appreciate you guysss!

Couple questions: what price range (NZD) were the bikes?
Any plans to make this a regular trip people can join?
Cheers
The bikes were $900-1500 NZD each. Depending on what model it was. I'll expand on all the above in the Q&A after the last part is live.
You're back to Malaysia..
And im back to watch your journey..
Btw nice editing with the live band song..
Im going to next episode

Was recommended from my Reddit post about buying a bike in Malaysia to see this video. Thanks for the info
Oh wow! Thats so awesome to know. Nice to see it's been recommended.
Oooo this looks fun, Love this introduction episode, getting to know the people involved, the bikes, the prep work etc. Greetings from KL/Selangor!
Gidday mate! Nice to meet you. Yup the following parts are full of detail too! Not long to go till part 2…

@@angmohmoto awesome mate! Thanks a cool trip. If you can make it up to Khao Sok national park from Krabi that’s a real great spot but have fun regardless!
@@angmohmoto we visit Krabi in part 5 and 6 from this series.
Seems you guys had fun!
Does the little kapcais had overheating issue since you go long miles without cooler system?
Thanks we did! The bikes were all fine with their temperatures. Well - it seemed that way at least. We did a few oil changes along the way which helps when doing long high distance days.

Haha I was being a little bit immature but even our driver had a laugh.
Amazing first episode! However, no wear near enough mamak in this episode and needs way more durian. I really wish things had worked out for me to meet you guys for the KL part of the trip.
Haha behind the scenes there was plenty of Mamak I promise! Thanks for watching Dana. Wish we could have met up too but it’ll happen again!
@@SmallBikeStuff maybe next time is in NZ. Lets see.
well done boys looks like your having fun
Such a great trip! Hope you enjoy all the parts. The Q&A is done too!

damn that vid must have took very long to make. Also those bikes look very fun to ride! Makes me want to do something like this over seas!
Anyone can do a ride like this mate! Just takes a fair bit of planning and some thinking ahead. Even with the money side of it. Just need to pay for flights then figure everything else out before ya leave. Keep watching and you might be keen to do a trip yourself.
You need to try that 135lc..good for long distance ride
One day!
Did you mention in the video what the average cost of the bikes were? Or did I miss it. Very entertaining and a another on the bucket list.
Between $900-1400 NZD. The Wave 125 was the most expensive. I mention the costings more towards the end but will detail it properly in the Q&A
Simple tips...if u wanna ride to thailand next time,
....honda will be my suggestion coz mostly thai people uses honda wave 125... So if any issues occur.. it will be easier in terms of parts etc...
4 out of 6 bikes were Honda. The Yamaha Lagenda has been sold in Thailand as the Spark 115 so there are still plenty of parts around.
Next time you guys can try ride from sarawak to sabah..
That would be super fun!
Nice work.
Fine choice of bikes. Too bad the Future's had so many issues.
Looking forward to seeing where you end up going in the upcoming episodes.
Yeah bad timing on our behalf for the Futures. He’d just sold a huge bunch of them not long before we arrived. Would have been more exciting get an Aveta Ranger Max 😉
oh yeah! reminds me of my cambodia adventure!
That’s on the watch list now. Will begin checking it out tomorrow! Cheers for commenting.
Drinking game: every time it's 'let's get straight into it' - down the hatch Boys..... you've got 5:04 to go! 🍹
Aha! You discovered the Easter egg in the video series 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I was curious how you were able to buy the motorcycles, as you would need an address to register them with.
In Thailand they require your address to be verified by your own countries embassy. Malaysia doesn’t have this requirement. If you have someone local you can use that’s great. Otherwise whatever suits.

Thanks so much for watching! Glad you enjoy it.

Would love too! Thanks for the offer.
How much did you guys pay for the bikes?
Yeah under $1000 NZD each mostly.
So cool, so cool, so so cool~
Thanks so much for watching! Not long till part 2 comes out. 🇲🇾❤️
where there any issues with non-malaysians buyers when buying?
No issues at all. Any details specifically you’re looking for? Happy to elaborate in the Q&A
i waiting this for so long...
Good to see you here mate thanks for tuning in!
How is Neal? Still recovering?
Thanks for asking. I caught up with Neal last weekend. He’s back on two feet now and slowly riding bikes again. Still got some recovery time ahead.
Mantap boskurr!!! (Marvelous Boss)
Thank you so much for taking the time to watch!
Was it easy to get into Thailand with a Malaysian bike as foreigners?
Very easy IF the bike is legally in your name. You just need to get Thai insurance on the Malaysian side of the border.
Epic trip!!
Thanks bro! Hope you like the rest of it.
coming from a fellow small biker here, i gotta ask this: Why small bikes?
I talked about that topic for almost an hour in this video: ua-cam.com/video/9xDz7R_UL98/v-deo.html
