I import bikes, mostly for dealers, from the US. My family has a new motorcycle dealership in LA and we also have a wholesale operation in the US for used bikes. I bring over about a load every two months and occasionally sell a few on the side to friends.
Lots of ways to get registration, we can do it here in Bangkok of course but it can be time consuming for us. I prefer to work through a dealer and let them make a little money on the deal, helps the customer get better service over the long run and saves me a bunch of time. They are better at the process and sometimes my Thai linguistic skills are just not up for all the arguing at the Land Transport office.
We dont finance, its 50% deposit, the rest paid when the bike is assembled and meets customers requirements. My price is about 75% what you can find at most dealerships. Please note, these are legal, titled US bikes with all taxes paid on import. I cannot compete with the stolen Japanese market that makes up a majority of bikes in Thailand. On non stolen bikes, I always have the best price going for US bikes.
Let me know.
