Title: Buying a used motorbike, questions
Post by: SOM LUCK on January 17, 2015, 01:06:09 PM

I thinking about making an offer on a used motorbike, as I have no experience with this, I would appreciate some insight.
What are the procedures relating to transfer of title.
Besides the condition of the bike, what are things that I should be concerned with.

Is it a Thai made bike or an import?

year,mileage, price,condition, an old bike can be made to look good cosmetically for little money.
Keep in mind a new Honda 125cc is just over 50 000b, and Honda will take care of all the paper work for you.

If its a bigger c.c. and a few years old (say 200cc+ and +7years) check that page 18 is squeaky clean and all import taxes are paid.
