Ivan, not so long ago Jay (CDRW) wanted to sell his 250 Baja, you might contact him though this forum and ask if he's still considering a sale !! His bike is in perfect condition, did a ride with us to Khao Yai and didn't have any troubles to keep up with all of our big bikes !! Advantage would be he's in Pattaya, so not far away from Chan. Where are you gonna stay ? Chaolao Beach ?? For info also see our posts about Chantaburi in this section. Cheers, Franz

Franz...thanks for mentioning my bike. I had two buyers that desperately wanted the bike, but decided not to sell it until I can get a replacement. It's not a BAJA, but a Suzuki "Djebel" 250XC with legal BKK plate and book. However, Ivan, it's not currently for sale...at least not until I can find a dual-sport bike which is better suited for the boring tarmac rides to Cambodia or around Thailand. For the last year, I've only ridden short distances locally to keep the battery charged!

FWIW, I've considered and decided against a DRZ400S and would prefer to get a Suzuki DR650SE or maybe something similar. Considered importing from Aussie-land but now their dollar is strong and Thai Customs would likely empty my pockets. I'm in a quandry...I want a bike that's reliable (like my current one); has more power, not too heavy and can be easily maintained (unlike Marco's BMW ;-) )

Ivan...good luck in you search!

-Jay

Jay, glad to see you're still having fun on your Djebel !! Ever come to CNX give me a ring and I show you good restaurants !! Why not look out for a second hand F650GS ? there's plenty of them out here just have to wait for the right one (price and condition). If you ever want to test or see you should call Craig-Esib, he got John Gooding's which I formerly owned. As stated in another post, I regretted already in selling this perfect dual purpose bike. Cheers, Franz
