Hi all! My wife and I just finished up the first six months of a year traveling around SE Asia. The first six months was by motorcycle, so we now have a couple of bikes to sell. They'd be great for a badass couple that wants a couple of badass (though small and light) bikes to travel the backroads of Asia. We did about 6,000 km on them through Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, and Malaysia. You can verify for yourself the badassery available to you in the photos below.
They are both Honda 2013 CRF250s. One is a model "L" and the other a model "M". Both have aftermarket handguards and racks. (Note: the GiantLoop saddlebags in the pictures are not for sale with the bikes.) Both were bought new from the Honda dealership in Chiang Mai last October. We have green books for both in our names.
The M bike also has a set of very nice Pirelli dualsport tires ("tyres" if you're from the Colonies). In the black and white photo below the M model on the right. You can see the tires are smoother and wider than the stock stubblies, but still work really well in dirt. The rubber is a nice improvement on the stock. They are also smaller than the stock tires, so the bikes sits about 4" lower than the L series bike on the left. Good for the ladies or men of diminutive stature. My wife is 5'8" and the M fits her perfectly.
They've had regular oil changes and cleanings (water wash). (Three changes and over half a dozen cleanings in six months.)
Both bikes have had the stock stickers removed and we've replaced them with our own, which you'll probably want to remove. We can recommend a decent shop in Chiang Mai to have your own custom stickers made if you're into that kind of thing.
Both bikes have some cosmetic scratches on them, as is expected from six months on the road. The "M" bike has a broken mount on the plastic front face plate that's been wired back. It also has a bent brake pedal from the wife dropping the bike at slow speed. Mechanicals on both bikes are perfect. You'll definitely want to replace/fix the brake pedal on the M bike.
We'll be selling each of them for 120,000 baht each. Or, $4,000 each. The M is a more expensive bike and has better accessories (mainly the tires), but also has more dings, so we're lopping off a bit from its price.
We are headed to Mongolia for two months, but will be back in Chiang Mai August 30th. We're seeing what the level of interest is right now, and we can arrange viewings in Chiang Mai after August 30th.
We're currently in Vietnam, but will be back in Bangkok in a few days and I'll upload new photos of the current state of the bikes then. Until then, you'll just have to make do with these photos from our various travels. If you happen to be in Bangkok June 18th and 19th and are interested, we can also show then, as we'll be in town before heading to Mongolia.
Cheers,
Sean
