- After moving back to Bali Indonesia I bought a motorbike and decided to share what it's like to buy one as a foreigner. While many foreigners choose to fly to Indonesia and rent one. I choose to buy a new one seeing as i'll be a temporary resident. But what is it like and what do you need in order to buy a motorbike as a foreigner?

You know people need entertainment like this at sahur time in the Ramadhan 😂
Btl, buat nemenin sahur 😁
Wkwkw yaaa 😆🙌🏼
Right tho
@@alexandwhite "wkwk" 😆

You can buy a mobike in Indonesia without a local as long as you have KITAS. If you really have kitas, you should have gotten NPWP, which is your tax number which gives you the ability to purchase a car or bike without a local.
FYI, you must bring the STNK every time you go out. It is important bcz the police always ask you about ur STNK after they ask you about your drive license card but you put it in your wallet or something like that. And the manual book of your vehicle (BPKB) just keep it save in your home. It most important, you dont even bring it out from your room.
guess it's the same as in the u.s. cops will ask you for your license and the registration of your vehicle
Your visit to Indonesia will be complete if you have visited Raja Ampat, the transportation is expensive but if you are with a group of about 10-14 people, it will be cheap. There are direct flights from Surabaya to Sorong, from Sorong to Raja Ampat by boat, in Raja Ampat there are 4 very beautiful locations, like a slice of heaven on earth.
But sorry bro untuk saat ini jangan kepapua dulu... karena masih belum aman
@@indomie.seedap yang ngak aman cuma di daerah sekitar puncak jaya
as a molluccan resident, u can just flyn to ambon and using rented car to the Ora Beach, and well u just use public fery to the Raja Ampat. from my place to Raja Ampat it only cost like 80K-120K and overnight in the sea. so yeah, if u r on thight budget, it definitely works.
it's easier for you to buy used motorcycle, because the sellers don't give a shit whether you're Indonesian / foreigner and the price also could be cheaper, usually a used motorcycle after 1 year the price will drop up to 25% even with pretty good condition
you uploaded it at sahoor time, clever move 😂
🤣🤣 yes
Wow nice Information, amazing Indonesia.. Love from Belarus 🇧🇾
Yesterday I thought you were from Holland
Thanks for watching Waku! 😃🙌🏼
@@alexandwhiteNice Vlog. your big fans Alexander 😊
@@Yow_w No 🥴
Bali is nice, but there are troublemakers. I was peacefully shopping in a supermarket when 4 security "thugs" attacked me simply b/c I pulled down my mask to eat free fruit samples. I think it was partly a hate crime against foreigners b/c it made no sense. Taken to hospital. True story. Stay safe. th-cam.com/video/xHUewYaGuh0/w-d-xo.html
advice from me, bring the STNK when you are traveling if there is an inspection by the police you need it.
Congrats on your KITAS, it makes a huge difference, especially when you fly in and out of the country.
Can you do a video about getting your KITA? Would be really interested into it. Great video - as usual 😝 Much love from Austria 🇦🇹
KITA? Maybe your thing is KITAS?
My sister's husband Austria live in asten 😅😷🤧
Easy way is come to indonesia first then u will know how to process kitas 🙂
Hi guys... If anyone need help to make work visa (Kitas) or tourist visa... Please contact me
Your intro is SO good for audience retention! I also purchased a new nMax and love it! But I think I’m going to get a custom bike soon🤙🏻
Yeah I saw the custom bike you had! Looked awesome wish I had that sometimes haha
Hi Alex,
I see Canggu is the most favourite place for the foreigners when they come back to Bali
Enjoy your time in Canggu and happy sight seeing !!
Another great video from you Alex, thanks for the video!
Thanks so much for watching Anksnaar! 🙌🏼
And the place looks so nice!!! And Nmax is also so nice to have :)
Love the new bike! It’s been amazing
Congratulations for the new bike dude and stay safe always 🤗😊👍🙏🙏🙏
Hiya. Lovely place to stay. Always great content. And informative. Beautiful drone shots. Thank you for sharing. Safe Travels.
Thanks so much for watching Nicky! 😃🙌🏼
The pool area is a piece of art.
Construction = annoying. Especially on holiday and if it starts at 7am.....😖😖😖
Haha yeah construction is just something you can’t escape in Bali
@@alexandwhite
I LoveYou, blonde
@@kareemkalisari wtf dude
@@FireWyvern870
Aha*
I don't know|
But you do!
Oh, I Love You ' sir!
Welcome to Your Country " INDONESIA "*
Sir!
Thanks for sharing your experince. I was wondering about that.
Hello Alexander, We Ronald and Paulien lived in Sanur for 2 years.
Now we live in the South of France and wait more than 1 year for our papers to import the Honda motobike ??
In Bali you wait in 3 weeks, that's fast !!!!
Great to go back to Bali, everything is fast there.
Greetings and have fun with your new bike
Alex, nice work.
As an expat living here for more than 10 years, it's nice to see some reasonably balanced stories.
Have a run out to Kebon Vintage cars..... It will blow your mind.
Thank you thank you alex for sharing stories about this beautiful island
You should go road trip to java using that bike... Go to east java first there are tumpak sewu waterfall then go to malang spend time a day or two to see rainbow villaage or another tourist attraction there. Then go to Mount bromo, ijen, the gi to central java and jogja to see Borobudur or prambanan temples
9:40 I bought my bike with a KITAS with a local license(you could get your international license converted or apply for a new one), you might be wrong about the law or local dealership is naive. I was a student during that time.
Well done on the bike and accommodations---you are living large.
Thank you Alex. Will be purchasing in a couple of months! 😉
Amazing place
Can’t wait to see myself beautiful Bali Indonesia
Beautiful place!! 😃🙌🏼
wow i can't wait to some remaining videos related to jakarta😁😁
enjoy your holiday in indonesia alex. I hope Indonesia will be a pleasant place for you.
You have to explore Indonesia in this part of Java. You will find something, hopefully it will be done and wish you success
Yes have a few plans to travel through Java 😃🙌🏼
Great information!
Thanks Jake!
Wow man congrats on the Kitas!!! What did you need to get that?
wow 😍 I've never been so early 😂 road to 50k !!💐🥳🥳
haha yes so close!! 😁 Thanks Leya
I hope to be right behind you on a bike purchase soon!!!
Great investment if you plan on being here a long time 😃🙌🏼
Sweet, you nailed it dude! This tropical paradise is just too good to be dream comes trueee 😅😅😅 damn cool!
That should read this tropical traffic jam location
Alex, can we see a video of you talking about how you get your Indonesian visa? would love to see your perspective on what kind of visa do you have, how you apply and renew it, and is it hard for you. Cheers!
@dFriutzig a if you need help to make indonesian visa please you can contact me
The food in Semarang, Central Java, is amazing, that is if you are into culinary adventures. It is also near Yogya and Surakarta, also food heavens.
Nice video, so informative 👍🏻
As far as I know foreign citizens who stay in Indonesia holding KITAS ( temporary stay permit ) or KITAP ( long term stay permit ) are allowed to buy and have vehicle ( motorcycle or car ) with condition you buy CASH. It means you may register your vehicle on your name as your own. That's what I know so far
Who knows what the plan 😉
Yes Sri, I think Alex was mistaken in this aspect
This is true with KITAS or KITAP. I have bought 3 bikes in my name. . .
International plugs are sooo clutch 🙌🏽 good find bro!
Absolutely!! Love it
Congrats on the new motorbike...
Place looks sweet man. This is canggu? Love the common kitchen setup. And a gym nice! I really want to live in Bali for like a year.
It’s actually in umalas really close to berawa
@@alexandwhite whats the name of the villa? Wanna go there if I visit Bali
lol ✌️😁, near my home locate at Dalung, South Tibubeneng
@@rofiadawiyah4859 anwa villa
@@asrulfaizal2294 thanks for the info
How do u like your new bike? Is d level of safety on roads good in Bali?
That's a very cozy place!
maybe you can start touring at ring of bali(bali's ring road)🔥
This is actually a good alternative for foreigner if they are stayong mote than 6 month, cause renting motorcycles is just too much sometimes, and thank you Alex and alex gf (sorry I forgot her name again), it was great information.
Also this could also makes foreigner get more friendly and get a pal is even better so they can purchase a motorbike, if you do have a partner u can trust like alex though this would even better.
Have fun in Indonesia Alex and we are waiting for ur new content, also considering its Ramadhan there will be more food specific for this ocassion so do try some or even better try fasting, a day is fine 😂😂😂
Apa Indonesia?
Pemandangan dan cuacanya sangat bagus.
Aku benar-benar ingin pergi ke sana. Sepeda juga keren!
Aku orang Korea:🇰🇷
Nice weather? That is not true
Just come to Indonesia before October, because it will start raining everyday.
@@PakPikPuk Until May in this most recent year
Another good investment when u plan to stay in Bali for some time alex! Bike is easy to ride and park where ever in Bali. Maybe you can do road trip to East Java with your motor bike 😁🤟. Go to Mt.Ijen for the famous blue fire (only 2 place in the world)
Brother thanks for the video. A little feedback, the video is titled “how to buy bike in Bali” and the first 7 and a half mins is all about a villa and a tour. Sweet to do a tour for like 30-60 secs but 7 mins is kinda whack.
Congratulations! 🎉 😎 🏍️
Thanks Alkaryana!
Awesome!!🤩
Thanks Plen! 😃
Mantaps....
Ditunggu video berikutnya... 😀
Becareful!!! More indonesian mom's on the road riding motorycle has lighting left sign but turn to right side 😁
Awokawokawok sein kanan belok kiri
Gue bgt wkwkwk
Where exactly is the place you're renting? looks nice and somewhere I'd like to stay when I come to visit....Thx
Touring with motorbike is very common in indonesia. You should try go to jogjakarta with your motorbike. 😆😁😎👍✌️
Lovely to see Kantiana there 😂👍
Good choice of buying instead of renting which cost much more over a long period. Have u taught of buying a car or a Jeep?
Thank you for the interesting Video. The motorbike looks very nice. Greetings from Germany.
Hey buddy great video!!!! I’m moving to Bali next month :) does it work out cheaper to buy your own bike or is it the same price? I don’t think you mentioned anything to do with cost? ☺️🙏 thanks so much Adam
depends how long you plan to stay but overall the retail value is great for reselling an NMAX. Many indonesians love those scooters
Hi, nice bike.
I am also living in Indonesia in an Island call Batam. Not sure how bali rules are but I was able to purchase a bike under my name. I also have a KITAS. Love your videos and hope to travel soon to Bali again.
Batam and Bintan are interesting islands
Indonesia's car right now is very much, since there are tax subsidies in April. Although pretty sure you won't need one especially in busy Bali. Where going everywhere is much better on a bike rather than a car
Cool video. What is the name of the place you are staying? Looks cool!
5 mills for local is not so affordable. but yeah nice place there alex, enjoy your new ride
Congratz for the new n max 👍👍👍
Thanks so much Supri!
wow you have KITAS, if you have KITAS now you have local price, like you going to candi borobudur, prabanan and so much
Yes haha can’t wait for that 😃🙌🏼
I love the NMax great bike what I always get always wanted to buy one for there I have heaps of friends can do it with. Also, can you do a video on a traditional Balinese place to stay in , all bamboo built usually up around Ubud, the bathrooms are great , I call them out door orgy bathrooms they normally have walls no roof and gardens in them sometimes water features. I'd much prefer that type of place to stay in rather than a western villa. Even nice homestays for say $100 per month are better usually just a room but your normally with a Balinese family it's great.
Who ask?
Thanks for subtitle Indonesia 🙏
Sama2 🙌🏼
maybe u can visit Wae Rebo in lombok. it's registered as unesco culture heritage. it has beautiful view and unique culture.
edit* it is in east nusa tenggara
Wae Rebo is in Flores Island, East Nusa Tenggara. Not in Lombok island.
@@nadiahid5042 ya idk where it is exactly but i think it is highly recommended
I recommend to have a padlock for secure from Thief or anything else...
The bikes now come with gps in it ☺️
Enjoy the All New NMax broo.. And ride explore bali 👍👍
I'm kinda curious about your riding skills. I heard a lot of foreigners are having a hard times riding a motorbike in Indonesia. Anyway, love your videos 💜
9:30 Indonesian translation has errors in writing inodnesia, which should be Indonesian.😁

Good morning..., you can ride to Ijen Banyuwangi East Java or Lombok.
How much cost the rent month? like 3 room ,3 bath room, hall ,kitchen or 4bedroom,3 bathroom,hall and kitchen
Thanks for showing your beautiful air bnb.
Nice motorbike Alex 👍👍
You can ride around Indonesia 😀😀
Nice information
I bought that nmax too last year after a year awaits
Thanks for this video. D drone is back.
Don't forget to use gear box at ur motorcycle,to store extra items
Like your vids, always nice!. How did Kristian Hansen do to get his bike?
ooo come on man... most of dealers they just say cannot be ur name or tax problem... i am a foreigner who live in indonesia and my motorbike is my name not my wife's name and in the motor registration has been written KITAP HOLDER...... they got
u bro
Touring to java by mtocycle from bali,,,but maybe you must be wait for motocycle number....
What is the best motorbike to rent or buy for a 6’4” older large man unfamiliar with them?
Alex, What did you have to do to get your KITAS? Did you use an Agent or apply directly?
good choice nmax, but if you buy yamaha aerox you can be 🆖🆎
loved driving the nmax ever since trying it for the first time!
alexander ngabers
5 Millions IDR for all those facilities is SO worth it!
How is the villa place called? I'm not sure if I missed it or you forgot to mention it... but it would really help since I'm going to Bali next month.
Anwa villa
@@TheMomo2003 Thank you so much!
I'd be very suspicious about people thinking its 5 million a month, more probably 5 million a week.
How did you find/rent this vila? great vid!
Facebook marketplace
How much is d bike? Tax, insurance? How much is d air bnb?
hey guys. Regarding the accommodation ive noticed on the website you can only book for a maximum of 30 days. you mentioned you were paying 5 mil a month is it possible to stay for longer ie 6 months etc
Hi, Can I get accommodation website?
Hi Alex. Its better you bought motorcycle to visit all interesting places in indo. Save time & money😀 I suggest install indo subtitle.
Enjoy your trip
kalau mau berkendara STNK wajib di bawa,dan pastinya harus punya SIM yah bro 👍🏾
So lucky you can ride it well, just imagine how risky it is when the balancing is gone immediately🧐
Wow amazing 😍👍🤩 Nice bro.. 😁
Hi Alex, I just want to ask the name of place (like hostel or others) in Bali that you living in this video, thanks bro.
Good choice of buying that bike, really suits foreigners. Don't forget to service it regularly every 2000 kilometers.
Salam NMAX Community from Jawa Tengah.
Damn🔥 Hey Alexander what's the name of this amazing place? I would like pay a visit
It’s called anwa
Can we get a description about that villa?
Yes it’s called Anwa!
In Indonesia foreigner are prohibited to having any assets like Home, land, or vehicle. If someone want to buy any asset they have to register it with local.
Great videos , but i think the easiest way to get motorbike for foreigner is to buy used one. If you are lucky you can find one with less than 1 year old, practically brand new
