The best part about your channel is when you talk about food and motorcycles. Loved this one. Thanks for sharing.
Cool, thanks
I absolutely love it when you show motorcycles!
Glad you enjoy it!
Thanks really enjoyed this. I remember last time you were at that shop, so just goes to show how long I have been watching!
😀 just WOW!!! LOVED IT! Thanks so much for sharing!!! Great variety of bikes indeed! ALL THE BEST!! And Cheers! :)
A couple of pop-tarts and a glass of tang! 🙂 Long time since I heard that phase. Love the your channel; planning to come to Thailand next year.
Very good, safe travels 👍👍
Great Motorcycle Review. Most of the shops have a big selection of Bikes. Thanks Lucas.
Thanks Denny 👍🙏
Motorcicles😍. Some of My nephews and nieces love them. Great to see some Nice options there. Thanks. Happy travels and stay safe. God bless You guys👍🏿.
Thanks Antonio, you too!
Great look around at the bikes, thanks. 🇦🇺🇦🇺
Thanks Robert 👍🙏
I have nothing to say. Love the motorcycle series like so many others. Enjoyed the video. For the algorithm.
Awesome, thank you!
Wow some very nice bikes , thank you enjoy !
Glad you like them!
again lucas, a great information video. enjoyed it. kind regards dan
Thanks 👍
What a great video! Great info! I'm planning to buy a bike in Bangkok and then ride the country after a chill in Pattaya
Sounds like fun, good luck on your trip 👍🙏
Vee is so beautiful. You guys make a great couple. Love your videos! You do a great job!
Love bike shopping Lou 👍
Thanks Bill 👍
One of the reasons i subscribed to your channel my love of bikes i remember when you started your channel you had like 300 subs and used to drive around Pattaya stopping hear and there good times.
Awesome, thanks for hanging in there Jason. Its been a long ride 👍🙏
Ive been riding a lot of differnt bikes during 17 years in Thailand, Starting with CBR , Big custom 1800 cc , Middle class 650 adventurebikes , Ending now with 750 custom, perfect for cruising and not to heavy for citydriving
those Indian bikes were neat looking! Can't wait to see the rest of your Bangkok adventure!
Just a short trip to the big city but we had a great time. 👍
That was a lot of "candy" 👍😍 Thank you for sharing.
"My brother from another mother." I have a 2015 cb1100. Nobody wanted them in the USA. I picked mine up in Mississippi for $5300 with 1200 miles. Loved it so much I bought a second cb1100 as a back up bike. Bike is great for tall ppl if u tweak the seat to bench style. Downside is engine heat in high temps. Not sure i would want it in thailand stop-n-go. I will be signing up as a member once Google helps me recover my password!
Nice, thanks for that. I was wondering about the heat, I think they have an oil cooler but I had a Nighthawk 750 with the same setup and that ran hot, so I figured as much. 👍🙏
Had a few 'big bikes' and it really hit home that riding a small bike fast is more fun than riding a fast bike slow. Cheaper on tires as well.
@@roofpizza1250 yes!!!!! I put a 300cc in my monkey
@@ka509 Love the engine size.
Not surprised you were impressed by Indian motorcycles, design and function are both truly outstanding and the ride is excellent.
Hi, Lucus & Vee, I enjoyed your video. You must feel like you're in bike heaven with so many cool bikes.
Take care GOD Bless you and yours. M
Yes Pokeaman, Bangkok definitely the place for bike shopping 👍🙏
Always especially enjoy the motorcycle videos. Hopefully there's a trip to the Thai MotoGP on the agenda ? 😉
Can't decide whether I am more excited about moving to Thailand or buying a new bike! Will definitely visit DBigbike.
Great video. I will be coming back to Chiang Mai through BKK in November and looking for a bike. I will definitely stop at this used bike shop! Thank you!
Have fun John 👍🙏
Hey bro
Thanks for the video
Nice information
Thanks for posting ✌🏼🏴
I am heading to BKK tomorrow from Udon 👍🏽
Take care on the road 🙏
Welcome Keith 👍🙏
Loved the Indian Chief, super nice cruising bike….nice bike window shopping for me…..🏍
Thanks, yeah they are even more impressive in person ✌️
Wow those Indian bikes could give Harley a run for the money. Very well made. Thanks for sharing.😎
Yes, I agree and I think there is more thought in the details 👍
Thank you bro great to see the Indian dealer
Awesome 👍🙏
You're alright having an extraordinary extravaganza life with food, hotel, trips to different places, friends to visit with, custom made shirts to wear and haircuts. I have to do none of those things now since i had everything i owned stolen from me illegally. It's enjoyable doing those things you do and i know it doesn't come easy. Take care. SERIOUSLY
Thanks 👍🙏
I know nothing about motorcycles, but those bikes at the INDIAN dealership were beautiful. I would buy one there. Another GREAT video SIR!
They sure were, I was very impressed 👍🙏
Polaris builds a fantastic machine. I had a Vegas for a few years back in the day. Indian over HD every time. 😄 Thanks Lucas!
Nice 👍👍
Hey Lucas thanks for the view on the Indian shop I’ve been waiting for that for a long time. If you get a chance to go for a test ride on the scout I think you’ll really like it. I’ve had mine now since 2018 in fact I just did a trip from Edmonton to Vancouver Island. It was a lot of fun.
Wow, that sounds like a beautiful ride this time of year. 👍🙏
I am not a motorcycle rider, but I always enjoy your videos on motorcycle 👍🏽
Awesome, thank you 👍🙏
BMW Boxers are the Horizontal Twins, Moto Guzzi are still V-Twins, but they are turned 90 degrees offset compared to the way traditional Twins are fit into the frames.
Loucous, I test rode a Scout when they first came out and was positively impressed with it. Great engine and transmission. The feet forward riding style took a bit getting used to. The only caveat I can think of is in Thailand you might want more rear suspension than what is offered.
Very possible Jack, suspension travel is definitely your friend here for sure. 👍🙏
Great vlog Loucous 👍. There were some really great looking bikes 😲. I miss having a motorcycle. I have had a few GSX-Rs in the past and my last bike was a road legal motor cross Kawasaki KXF 250 with all the Monster Energy decals on it and really noisy Akrapovich exhaust system. It got stolen unfortunately but I got a full insurance pay out but I've not had a bike since then about 8 years now 😢. I thought I would get a Honda CBR 1000 Fireblade one day
Thank you Loucous 👍😎🙏
Welcome Mitch 👍👍🙏
Loucus is out shopping for new bikes, I guess the youtube channel must be going strong.
And if that is the case, you are absolutely worth a honking big beautiful bike. This channel is absolutely fantastic.
If I won the lottery I would absolutely get a Ducati Multistrada, and an African an African Twin... 😎
My kind of bikes.
Cool, not sure about getting a bike this year and there are a couple of hopefuls which may make their way to Thailand soon, so maybe wait and see.
a blacked out Road Master Indian will be my next bike...thank you for showing the Indians
I can see that Lucas has his eye on a retro looking 4 cylinder Honda CB1100.
They are so expensive new in Thailand (550,000 baht), but even expensive second hand (350,000 baht).
Yes, I would have to agree with you on that, and I'm terrible at accounting 🤣🤣👍🙏
@@Rides4Kickz I have been looking at buying, in Thailand, a Honda CB1100RS myself for that retro look, 4 cylinders, bench seat and dual rear shocks and analogue dials. Kawasaki Z900RS is an alternative except mono shock.
Why do you stay in Pattaya except for convenience, beach, shopping, great restaurants, great nightlife and close to airport and Bangcock? ,🤔😂
Really love that huge bike store. Best collection in Thailand by far. The Indians looked cool too.
Great show Loucas 👍✌️🙏n
Thanks Rich 👍🙏
That CB1000R at 359K is a good deal. Must be a beautiful bike to ride. Secondhand prices are more reasonable now. Supply and demand, I suppose.
Excellent video.
Couldn't agree more! 👍
I can remember Benelli's back in the early 70's, but they were like 70cc or something like that. I was quite surprised to see the 899 you showed us today. The Indian Scout is my favorite of all the Indian bikes...My friend in Lake Worth, FL, has an Indian Chief and it's like ten feet long.
Interesting, yeah, I remember Bennili 600s, I was also shocked to see a 900 🤣👍
Benelli is now a Chinese company and the motorbikes are manufactured in China.
I saw a couple of Original Indian bikes in Vietnam in 2004 at a restaurant.
Ape Hangers on a Monkey? Who'd a thunk?
Benellis. I remember Benelli mini bikes in the JC Penny catalogue when I was a kid. I drooled on having one.
I did my share of drooling at the JC Penny catalogue too 😂🤣😂
5:40 Guzzi twins, I have heard this design referred to as, transverse twin.
Great video once again 👏, you are really leaving the others in the dust.
While referred to as a transverse twin it is actually a longitudinal twin. The orientation of the crank in relation to the frame is the determining factor. As us Guzzistas like to say, "It's a V-twin done the right way."
Cool, thanks
Hi love your videos moving to Hau Hin , planning to buy a new motorcycle. Are prices in Bangkok better there or is it the same everywhere. Thanks
I have one of those Honda Monkey 125's in the US. All the parts I order come from Thailand lol. It's a great little bike and I see why they would work so well in Thailand.
They love them here, but the poor little guys get turned into to everything under the sun 🤣😂👍🙏
@@Rides4Kickz I love the aftermarket for them 🤣 mine has progressive rate shocks, a 170cc kit, and intake/cam/exhaust. It's just a fun toy 😁
So Many Motorbike choices. I would go for the less common as long as repair/replacement part are NOT unconmon :)
I would definitely choose water cooled for Thailand.
The best one for parts and service seems to be Honda but then again, if it is something like a Gold Wing then all bets are off 🤣👍🙏
I was surprised by Zeus customs, the bikes looked interesting, but they could have been taken care better of their site, the amount of dust did not look like the patina of a bygone era, but more someone letting standards slip. Your next stop 'A' Square was much more in keeping with someone who understands business and presentation, blown away by the layout. This epsiode has too many nice bikes but that Indian scout was very special indeed. Great video.
Thanks, I whole heartedly agree 👍🙏
Amazing paint on those Indians 🙏
Thanks, yeah I would agree 👍🙏
Guzzi are V twins, though they used to make singles and v8's in the 50's.
Thanks Lucas, you said you were going to do updates of Motorcycle Shops their in Thailand. Thanks for the video. I like the Shovelhead Harley, rigid frame. Question Lucas, about 2 + years ago you did a video of a Thai Motorcycle shop I think in Pattaya and he worked on old bikes, he still around. Once again thanks for the great video of motorcycles. Keep them coming.
Yes, there are 2 shops for working on old bikes that I recommend and another shop that is very good but it is more of a guy's personal garage than a shop 👍
@@Rides4Kickz Thanks, I know what you mean of the shops. Thanks for the reply and Video
The Indians always look good. I don't ride but I like the look of the details of the Indians. Friend of mind back home has several Indians and a few Vintage ones also. Nice bike. Cheers
Yes Antio, the attention to detail was amazing 👍
The Motoguzzi's have transverse V-twins and are supposedly the oldest European motorcycle manufacturer. The V85 adventure bikes got pretty good reviews IIRC. I've always been curious about Motoguzzi's but fear of not finding dealer support always stopped me from buying.
Lucas . Glad to see yer not using a boat to get around bangkok at the moment 😀. Thundersuper bike has huge collection of used big bikes. Not that far from dbigbike. I will be looking to buy a Ktm 390 adv , kaw 650rs or xsr700 . Hav you sorted your bike out that got stuck in the flooded car park yet ?
Yes, all the bikes were sorted out right after the flood. That has been exactly a year ago now. Time flies.
great stores. Wish you would do a scooter vlog.
Maybe one day! 👍
@@Rides4Kickz I'm moving to Phuket in January & looking to buy a scooter just to get around the island. Hope you do it before then :)
Ive been looking on facebook market place in thailand, old Yamaha DT's selling cheap as chips , compared to UK prices
First!!
Nice 👍
Trans World Airways Tea.
@@clickbeetle2720 That's because I am all grown up.
Hi lucous, please make video on camping equipment shops in Bangkok.
There are around 8 - 10 shops on Google map.
Yes, camping is popular right now 👍
Hi what do think of the Honda rebel 500? I thinking of get one when I come back to Thailand 🇹🇭
Hi Louco s ,my girlfriend lives on Soi 22 near AS quare we!ve had afew meals around there in the last 10 years , im coming in october for a month cant wait , cheers.
cool, enjoy 👍👍
I would say that the most sensible "Big Bike" to own in Thailand is a Honda CB650R.
I did not see many in DBigBike showroom.
They probably had at least 4 of them, I didn't show everything.
that 850 twin was sweet, but i wouldn't go air cooled in thailand.
1st post seems to have gone missing...
There's a Bike clothing shop called Paddock on Ratchadaphisek Rd just north of Huai Khwang MRT. Good selection there and I think they have a facebook page.
As for Big Bikes, there's little point having anything over a 650cc.
You can't use the extra power excess of a 650 unless you no longer value your own life.
Similarly the potholed roads make naked and ADV style bikes a better option than sportsbikes or cruisers.
But many people only buy a big bike for their own ego...
I'd love a Diavel 😁
I'd agree with most of that, longer suspension travel and chunkier tires are definitely your friend here. I've ridden some liter plus bikes here and would like to think I used the power, although it was not necessary to have that much.
@@Rides4Kickz 2 seconds worth of full beans... maybe 5 seconds, but 99% of those journeys would probably have been handled just as quickly on your Versys.
I like that ''' WHY NOT ''''' ....Nice Bike Shop But no Lunch ?? Indian Bikes
almost a throw Back in Time ..Great Tour ..I stand at 5ft 9 but still like
Handle Bars a little higher ....Thanks ....
Thanks Ray, no lunch that day because we had that big evening at the Beer Garden after all that so wanted to save room 🤣👍🙏
Excellent tour. I’m in Bangkok now, and you had a good tip on checking out DBigBike. Former sport bike racer, so really cannot imagine riding on the street like you do everywhere. There used to be a track near Pattaya, that had club racing, and maybe also track days. You know about that track?
I think he went to bike races at either that, or other track, in an episode several months ago.
Yes, it's called Bira Circuit. You can find them on facebook. A local group just had a track day out there today. Usually they allow access during a couple days in the middle of the week.
@@jorgemonserrate7070 Thanks. I haven’t been there, but watched some short youtube vids of some races. Entertaining 555!!
@@Rides4Kickz That’s the one. Named after Prince Bira, who was quite into auto racing, if I recall correctly.
There’s a vlog of the Pattaya Track Day, about a year ago. 👍
I’ve been eyeballing the made in United States electric motorcycles called Zero.
Might not be practical living in a condo in Southeast Asia unless there’s some sort of outlet that they would let you pay for charging?
An electric motorcycle wouldn’t be for everybody but I rode one. They’re pretty incredible. I like their dual sport model.
If I moved to Southeast Asia, I would have to look for a house for rent so I could charge my bike in the garage.
You should visit the Poonsap Market for bike parts
Sounds interesting, thanks 👍🙏
Are there any three wheeled bikes that you are able to show us ? I can't use a regular two wheeled bike but can use a three wheeled one, so was hoping that you could show some of them please :)
hi lucas i dont often comment on vloggs but i have a question and value your opinion, i am a large person 125kg and wondered what or which motorbike you would recommend on a budget, i have rode automatic scooters but not geared motorbikes, and am considering getting a motorbike to keep at my girlfriends to use on my vaccations, i liked the look of GPX legend in one of your vloggs, but wondered if getting a second hand bike was worth considering, probably a bit of a gamble as my mechanical knowledge is limted, so open to buying a mule if its all shiny and looks sounds good, or should i stick to automatic scooter prob pcx or similar style large style scooter also would occasionaly have a pillion so i guess suspension would be a big factor, thanks for sharing this and all your vloggs, cheers
I never really recommend automatic scooters as there are many faults with them but expats here seem to love them. Yeah, maybe a standard type small bike in the 200-300 cc range. You can get a decent used one from 50k and up which would be the same price of a new scoot. Just stay away from higher mileage or older used ones and you should be ok.
Very enjoyable video as I am looking for a nice bike here myself -- .. but Dude.. where was the cannabis leaf shirt ???-- 🙂... you were out of character !
Haha, there are leaves on the back of the shirt 🤣
9:15 I am in total agreement with you on Indians being better built and engineered than Harley D and the heat put off by the big air-cooled Chief model is a real issue. A friend has one he installed a leather flap like shield that protects the inside of his legs from the heat off the rear cylinder.
Yeah, I'm not a fan of chaps, I figured they would run hot 😂🤣
Have you ever ride a Guzzi? Because you now it's the same thing as a Honda 1100?
Hi Lucas...
Hope all is good with you...
Ktm own husqvarna and have done since 2013 if my memory serves me right...
Kindest regards Andy,Herefordshire, England
Great Thanks Andrew 👍
Guzzi's are "90 Degree Transverse V-Twins"
Yes 👍👍
Not a bike guy but you make all videos interesting
Thanks Tommy 👍
INDIAN SCOUT 4 the 🏆
Great looking bike 👍
Motto Guzzi engines are V twin with longitudinal crankshaft horizontally mounted, no wonder you didn't want to say it. LOL.
Ah, the horizonal mounting might be problematic 🤣😂
Hope you could find any interesting old bikes in the magazine.
I hope so too, gotta get down there and pick that up, keep forgetting, thanks for the reminder. 👍
Where to find your video on the bike auction?
Will have to see if I can find the Dirt shop...
Bennelli is 100% Chinese made. Good Luck on getting parts. They look good but the OEM parts are substandard . Of the Top 10 bikes exported out of China only 1 is a Bennelli Leonccio. The other 9 in the top 10 are all CF Moto. Overall bike design by same Bike designers as KTM & BMW in Austria . Engines designed by BMW Group.
Do you ever do a bad videos??? Always full of great information keep them great videos coming
All the bad ones are in my private collection 😂🤣
@@Rides4Kickz hahahahaha
What do you do for living in Thailand??
Have you ever seen Hyosung Aquila bikes out in Bangkok?
Yes, seen them at the motor show before.
Talk Vee into getting buzz cuts and you'll soon have enough dosh for a Harley 👌
Haha, ok, will consider that 😂👍🙏
These are the places to buy
Helmet, coat, glove’s
of known brands?
There’s an Indian dealer near me in Nonthaburi. In fact, it’s nearby a whole lot of dealers, Triumph, Harley, Kawasaki etc on a roundabout - Rachapruek.
Is that the one on Rama 5?
@@Rides4Kickz yes, that’s the one. Near an overpass. I sent the Google map coordinates but they won’t post
👍🙏
Great vid. I was wondering if you can confirm for me that the prices on new bikes is ALL IN. Back home you can easily add 15-20% to the price with taxes and documentation fees as well as PDI. Thanx.
Yes, excellent question, the price advertised includes tax, license and dealer prep etc. It does not include and aftermarket accessories which may be already bolted on, like in the case of the Indian Scout I looked at with the bags etc., and it does not include delivery anywhere, that price is for taking delivery at the dealership.
@@Rides4Kickz Excellent, thanks. The prices seemed similar to hime bur with dealer prep and taxes and the better exchange rates Thai manufactured bikes are ~20% cheaper out the door. Thanks again.
@@Rides4Kickz So BKK to Chonburi ownership transfer is an easy trip to the registration office I take it.
Nice bikes Lucas ... But 11 times Vee wash her hair with shampoo in that salon ... WHY? 😅😅😅
It seemed that way, she was sat there before I went in for a shampoo and she was still getting it done when I was finished and out the door 🤣🤣👍🙏
They may not have Indians in Pattaya but there's no shortage of cowboys. All of them driving taxis. (If you don't understand sorry, I realised it may be an English expression meaning rogue)
Hi Lucus, sorry nothing to do with your video, but a question, can you recommend a good place to get some casual 'howaiian' type shirts made in Pattaya? I've noticed you're had a few casual shirts made, just wondering where you recommend..? Looking at Western XXL size. Any help would be great cheers
The night bazaar on 2nd road has all that stuff and the tailor I use is located in there as well. Just look for my logo on the door of his shop 👍
Byeeeee for GURTH 👋
Is there such a thing as protective bike gear for Thailand that doesn't give you heat stroke?
As long as you are under way the gear here is venelated good but sitting still it gets hot quick.
Great looking bikes. Can foreigners buy new bikes or used bikes with no problem? I am sure they sell the 135 or 150 cc.
Sure, can buy new or used and title in your name no problem at all.
@@Rides4Kickz thanks
Can you buy a bike in Bkk if you're residing out of Bkk? You need to de-register the bike ship it out and re-register at your province of residence right?
Yes, so if it is a new bike, they may not want to give you a temporary red plate if you are taking it out of the province but used bikes will have plate already, if the plate is expired have them renew it and then whenever you get it home, just go to an inspection station with the green book and tell them you want to change plates to your home province and they should be able to help you with that for a fee.
Do you have the email of Bees Rooms you did in a previous video? I don’t use Facebook. Thanks.
can I know what model is that at the 14:10 minute? the one with the gold rims?
That is a Kawasaki Z400 in the "Spark Black" paint scheme.
