I've been looking for a year. Considered importing from Aussieland until their dollar got so strong. Still kinda considering importing from the US,
but concerned about getting killed [$$$] by Thai customs and I've no experience dealing with them.
Lastly was told by the Thai License Bureau, in Banglamung (Pattaya), that you can't license a Cambo bike. I've no idea is this is true or is worth the effort.
A member kindly suggested getting a used BMW FG650...but I've ruled that out. They seem a expensive as well as not easy to work on (valves, etc), whereas the
DR valves, with it's older technology engine, can be easily adjusted.
Further, I don't know if a DR will pass the Thai smog test...or if it will pass with a slight...donation... ;-)
What to do???
Lay me down on the couch and counsel me with words of wisdom...please
I _love_ my Suzuki 250 Djebel...it's been a totally reliable dream, but it's time for something bigger that will make the long paved road miles to Cambo/Lao more comfortable.
Thx!
