I only put Thai prices due to currency values changing regularly. Google will convert those numbers to your local currency with a quick search. This was the shop: goo.gl/maps/qP1ZmcrF8gS91HWF7 Thanks a bunch for watching!
Great walkthrough of what they have on hand there. This is the classic Bangkok dealership. There are tons of these all over the city, and then there will be even more resellers set up in shop houses and stuff.
Yeah I love the amount of options available. I’m a fan of the near new shops. 1-2 year old bikes and someone else has taken the hit from the dealership already.
Great vid, great channel! thank you....I've been in Vietnam for 14yrs, think the bike culture is a major part of the attraction...riding every day never gets boring...keep banging out the vids they're brilliant!
The variety and pricing is so much better in Thailand. Great walk through, love the Honda part number tyres. Apparently my wife now wants a blue Scoopy.
Underbones are still wildly popular. They’re definitely the workhorses. But the step through styles are so common as the family wagon. The foot well is free storage space.
Thanks for making the video ,.. I go over to Thailand every winter for three months , my brother just bought a condo in Phuket and instead of renting a scooter I was thinking of buying one , I’ve been looking on Facebook marketplace at used pcx 160s , and shockingly your video showed me that there’s not much of a price difference in buying new . Do you know if there’s a go to dealer that known for the best prices ?
Pricing is the same dealer to dealer really. Biggest thing would be finding a dealer you can easily converse with and has a good reputation for follow up maintenance. Big brands CAN have good mechanics but just as easily might not.
I’m now based in New Zealand. I only lived there for two years. I always head back whenever I get the chance and this was one of this trips. You can get by on about $1000USD a month for everything - but it’s a meagre existence usually. Some will say it’s easy. But it does limit things. Depends where of course.
@@SmallBikeStuff thanks fyi. I live in Malaysia but at the south of it. Close to Singapore, never been to Thailand. It is quite far to travel by the road. I have plans to travel there but not sure when haha
@@DersNoNem I understand, it's hard to find the time and travel properly. But the fact that you want too is enough! I recently traveled from Singapore to Thailand on 3 different buses over a few days and it was very cheap, quite fun too.
Just curious what kind of bikes culture are there back at NZ? For sure it's isn't moped right? Do a full episode on it or.. I might just missed if you done it
New Zealand license categories have shaped the bike scene here a lot. We have. learner, restricted then full license classes for motorcycle. When I was a kid, learners was 250cc max but these days it’s based on power to weight ratio. So you can have a MT07 - 700cc Yamaha on your learners license. This means small underbones and 125-150cc twist and go scooters aren’t super popular. There is a big custom bike culture here which is cool. I’ve never made an overall video of the culture here but I’ll do one for you as soon as I can.
@@SmallBikeStuff in malaysia the road tax and insurance are categorized by ccs and engine capacity. That's why here small bikes and small capacity engines are super popular with mopeds and scooters. You could imagine the cost of owning bigger ccs would rise sharply with each category.
@@SmallBikeStuff so is the new PCX 160 available in only one variant or can you have a upgrade on the standard PCX 160 Iam going to purchase one in Thailand 🇹🇭 over the coming weeks just so when I get in to the dealers I know what to expect thanks 🙏
@@bluemoon5761 ah I see what you mean. Forgive the previous comment - To clarify the Click and the PCX are two entirely different models and just share the engine. The PCX is a physically bigger scooter. If you are buying the PCX160 new from a dealer there is only one type. Just different colours. I highly recommend sitting on it first and see what you think about the feeling (I love them but they aren’t perfect for all body shapes/height) - I also recommend sitting on a Yamaha NMAX 155 - the main competitor to the PCX. Good luck with the purchase! You can message me on Facebook or Instagram at Small Bike Stuff if you want to chat more about the bikes.

@@SmallBikeStuff Yeah, those shops that have a bikes a few years old can have some great deals. But sometimes a new bike is so nice.

Thanks so much for watching Darren! Vietnam is a great place. Will have to get back there soon!
Very cool, thanks for sharing. I love seeing inside dealers from other countries. 🤙😎

Great choice! Scoopys are incredibly basic but do exactly what they need too, they’re everywhere.
I'm surprised how many CVT models are offered. I like that Click 125 with the spoked wheels. Are underbones becoming less popular these days?

@@SmallBikeStuff ok sounds good, thanks for your reply !
You live in Thailand quite a long time eh? Understandable because there is a lot of new motorcycles released there. Was the lodging cheap there?

Which small bikes are the most reliable, can be upgraded easily and easy to work on?
For me, most small Hondas. Not always, but generally their parts availability is better.
Dude..we want big bikes too.
Haha very fair. I only had time to visit this place on that trip. There are a couple of ‘big bike’ shops in Bangkok worth visiting though.
What is the two models available of the Honda PCX 160
The Click 160 and PCX160 are different machines but have the same engine. PCX first came out as a 125 and then a 150.
