Thank you Lucas for the Birthday party... it was realy nice & pleasure meeting you, Vee & so many other subscribers especially Peter from the Netherland... 😊😊😊

Always a pleasure to watch your videos. I hope to be there soon

Just checked out the royal enfield and it's available in a 650 cc version as well, it looks really good and it would even be a good bike for a road trip!

Thanks for sharing love watching your birthday party keep posted then we will keep watching and be safe 😘

GREAT videos as always !!! Keep them coming Best RU-vid channel in Thailand

Thanks for that. I wanted to check seat height on the Hunter, so I will go up the road and sit on it before it gets sold. Different frame, suspension from the Meteor, but 30K cheaper? Plenty of plastic rather than metal, so lighter and quicker. And it's got ABS on the front which I think is very comforting on Pattaya combo steel and bitumen roads.

Technically, Aprilla SR200GT has 174cc motor. As it's very new, there aren't too many aftermarket accessories yet. Hunter 350 is expected to be a huge seller for its appearance and price point. I think Royal Enfield is kicking ass in a small/mid-size market. Also there will be Triumph-Bajaj 400 cc. in the near future. GPX bikes don't seem to hold any secondary market value. They are offered dirt cheap on FB market. GPX Legend Twin is pretty. I love the "retro" look bikes. I actually wanted Supercub C125 or Trail CT125 but I think they are almost impossible to find right now.

Great scooter and motorbike review….and nice to see your friends place doing well….nice video as always Lucas!

I like the classic Bike look of that Enfield.

Thanks Lucas have a great day 🇺🇸🇹🇭🇦🇺🍺🤟🙏🤙

Happy Birthday Lucas. btw I visited Lucky Tailoring on the strength of your earlier vlog and he is a really nice guy. Cheers

A vespa is a icon. It is a choice you can not compare

Last year I picked up a 2021 Honda 125 Trail. Made in Thailand. And all accessories are made in Thailand . love your videos thanks again.

Thanks for the update of the new Scooter's and Royal Enfield. You always keep us informed of new and used bikes that are in Thailand. Take care and stay safe.

Thanks for sharing about the scooters, really great info, and also HBD, it was a fantastic turn out, but I'm not sure if you had enough B-Day cakes 555!

Luke, You are a big guy like me. I'd like to see you and Vee sit on more bikes. My 2015 CB150R is surprisingly tall and comfortable for me at 188cm and 105 kilo. It seems really tall for most Thais. Thanks, Thailand Paul

I'd love it if you did a video on Zeus Customs. They make custom cafe racers right in Thailand. Just beautiful bikes!

Always enjoy checking out new bikes being the motorcycle freak I am. On my way home from UdonThani yesterday heading out of town I caught sight of the new KTM dealer they just opened this year. As I was buzzing around town on my Versys X I was stopped at a light and one of those little GPX 250 twins came up next to me I had to do a double take I hadn’t seen one before I think you said they were 72,000 baht sounds like a good deal to me. But right now the way the economy is I see a lot of bikes on the used market three years ago they were going for a lot more money than what they’re being offered today it’s definitely a buyers market here in Thailand I picked up my bike for 80,000 baht and it was like brand new with 6000 km on it. In December I’m going with a group we’ll be heading from here in Thailand over to Vietnam for a 20 day tour. Do you have any plans to do a big group tour crossing over some international orders?.

I love these videos. Would you consider doing a bike review on touring bikes for the purpose of exploring the country? Comfort, storage, maintenance concerns and access, handle, suspension, safety, and power. I can speak Thai and I have always wanted to go off the beaten track.

i so love all the open air restaurants there.

Look forward to checking that burrito place out

The Aprilia scooter looked solid. But $3,538 for a brand new Hunter 350 sounds like a fantastic deal. It looks great. I think I'm with you. I'd rather have that. A GPX 250 twin for $1975?? Unbelievable. Grdat show Loucas 👍✌️🙏

cool bikes! The GPX looks neat. I also loved seeing the Vespa's in the background. I love that look. I better learn to ride one, someday! haha

Love your videos but please check out how to say Aprilia like an Italian.....it doesnt matter really but...."thats a spicy meatball"....EDIT you actually said it correctly later on in the video. lol. This scooter is different, the price is the price, its actually made in Vietnam for Aprilia, the main draw back for me would be servicing. PCX and Nmax though on every corner can be serviced on every corner. The reviews out of the Philipines are positive but again you would have to ride one first. The RE Hunter is cool but very low on power, still waiting to see if someone will bring/import the BSA Gold Star to Thailand, though the pricing of the BSA seems to higher than the RE Interceptor which will make it hard. Just love the look of the BSA. You are right GPX dont hold value. Also when I looked at them seemed the overall fit and finish werent that good, guess you get what you pay for.

This is a bonified miracle .......You're not wearing a RFKs shirt or a marijuana shirt.... This may be the first time ever......At least in any video, I have seen.....And I have seen loads of your videos..... Very refreshing to see you wearing a different shirt..........I will be saving this video... Heck, I might even frame this video and hang it on the wall, to help me remember the special occasion..

the vespas always remind one of the Clive James t.v. series, POSTCARDS - Rome episode

Hearing the torque numbers would be interesting, the lowend grunt that gets the bike moving 👍

the last motorcycles that i owned was a Bultaco Alpina and Pursang a Husqvarna 250 and 360 and a Honda Enduro ( 70s and 80s ) been a live aboard Yacht owner since 1986 and have had a dozen Euro Exoticars but no motorcycles !! will be selling my current '' toys '' ( Motor Coach , Mercedes and car trailer ) in Feb 2023 ( after high season ) and moving to Jomtien , looking at the Riviera Condos and the Royal Enfields !! Cheers from Padre Island TEXAS !!

Happy Birthday 🎂

Aprilla have always made scooters 20 years ago I had one in Egypt. You said you like gears on a bike to help slow you down on downhills. In my humble opinion Car and truck gearboxes are made for that but bike gearboxes certainly are not meant to take that type of use. Aprilla are definitely my favourite brand of scooter. NEVER JUDGE AN APRILLA SCOOTER UNTIL YOU HAVE RIDDEN ONE. Many smiles per mile.

Congrats to your bud Micky on his new place. As for scooters; Aprillia only has their 50cc in the US and Canada. As for Royal Enfield; that Hunter 350 is not on our shores either. :( Thanks for sharing/posting this video. Cheers! :)

I remember the old Vespa and Lambretta scooters had a twist grip 3 speed shift back in the early 1960s. Pull the clutch in and twist the left grip.

Very interesting choices! a shiny newest of the new pricey Aprilia or Royal Enfield A classic Vespa or a close-to-home Asian company would be a good choice for easy-to-find parts. Good Vid.

More and more I'm warming to the Royal Enfield 650 Interceptor Lou. so this could potentially change but basically I have this golden rule when it comes to motorcycles.... Stick with Nippon !!! 👍

The Royal Enfield 350 is less than the Aprillia scooter, that's crazy! Surely that has to be a great deal! I would be interested to know if you can get a rebore kit to upgrade to 400 - 500 cc, but I can't ask you to check that out! Alternatively, look for a 500cc Royal Enfield standard model! I will search online for one! Thanks, the Aprillia does not provide such value!

I had a Aprilla SR 125 scooter a couple of years ago.. it handled amazing you could throw it into corners

Was cool meeting you guys tonight.

Would love to see your review of Ducati :)

Happy birthday,Travelling man. 3 days ahead of me,but not in age though. I will be in Pattaya for 5-6 days from Friday. Hope to see yah..

The Vespa name in SE Asia is what the girls love , especially in Vietnam.

Gotta bit of a soft spot for the royal enfields. Thanks for the reviews. 🇦🇺🇦🇺👍👍

On late 80's every teenager 14th to 16th wanted malaguti fifty 50cc (pre booster era). From 16th the 125cc honda nsr, or cagiva freccia or mito. I actually ride a guzzi v9.

Why am I not surprised you've got chain oil in your veins. At home I've a honda NT700 which unfortunately sees little use but my 1st order of business when I get to Pattaya is get a scooter under my bum .. love um !-) that 350cc is a stunner though and a tempting swap but when would I ride it if I'm scootering in Pattaya!

Aprilla looks great! but i prefer honda adv

Interesting with the scooters n R Enfield look great value for the prices quoted. Although many inc me wud stick with Honda as the market leader and easier for spares n repairs n re sale values too….even tho the Honda ADV n PCX are getting expensive these days. At least it gives ppl the option. Thx for the updates as usual!!

thanks for sharing this interesting video with the new collection Scooters🌿🌿🌿🌿🍁🍁🍁💨💨🤙🏻🤙🏻🌿🌿🌿🌿🍁🍁🍁

Good music :)

3800.00 for that, I think that is a fair price. Then again I like the higher-end stuff.

I would have bought your Yamaha 100%

Aprilia's history is founded in the scooter market. The bigger bikes came later.

good vid

Must say the 350 at that price seems awesome. The Japanese, however, are popular for a reason.

Hi Lucas, quick question not related to vid btw, can you recommend a good second hand bike shop, trustworthy one lol, I could look at whilst in Pattaya. Love your vids keep up the good work.

The Aprilia indeed gets good reviews. I've seen some channels review the Italjet Dragster which is very high end looking but I'm not sure if it's imported into Thailand yet. If Vee is considering a new bike I vote that your Versys is due for refreshing! 😁

I'm like your good self, if it hasn't got gears, it's not a motorbike. Even the new 1800cc Goldwing is a twist and thrash.

those Enfields, look really nice, new, but with a vintage look. the bike at 72k was a bargain all day long.

Hi mate, another great and informative vlog. Dont know if you can help me but, I will be in Pattaya from 26 September for a month, and want to hire a motorbike. Is there any place that hire Royal Enfields in Pattaya? Cheers mate, keep them great vlogs coming.

Royal Enfield 650 Interceptor is a good buy for Thailand.

Hi Eva one of them fights great value I’m really thinking about getting the 250 because of the price It’s great when you do prices of bikes many thanks great video God bless.

Thanks for sharing be safe love the Scooters

cant wait to ride around in pattaya

That Aprilia is nice I hope they come out with the same model in bigger displacement like a 500 or 600cc. Kind of looks like they were trying to make a rival to the Honda ADV series.

I can't help it, I'm sorry I have to correct you, it is not Aprila it is Aprilia, don't forget the "i". You get it correct later in the video. Royal Enfield have just released their new Guerrilla 450 based on the new 450 Himalayan, more expensive than the Meteor but like twice the power, also really worth a look

Lucas, Vespas are made for city life in Italy where all cities are built around a mountain 😂. You go from coffee shop to coffee shop on your Vespa. Sometimes you go to the beach. You always drive on cobbled streets. Vespas are in fact a high-quality product a least as good as any Japanese.

Aprilla had the first fast mopeds out 30 plus years ago in Ireland my friend had one and it was great really fast so they are not new to the mopeds

Was that the infamous Nirun Condo building in the background when you were eating? Sure looked like it. You could do a story on that (and the very low prices they are to buy) someday in the future. A Golden Oldie !

After a few motorcycles, I am discovering the world of scooters. It fits my lifestyle a bit better, and I like the lighter weight. Last fall I traded my Versys 650 for a Super Cub. Now THAT'S downsizing! Now I;m looking for a longer range bike, and I'm down to either a Yamaha Xmax scooter (300cc) or a Honda CB500X motorcycle. (I'll still keep the SC)

That Aprilia would be perfect, but what size wheels does it run on, please? 148,000 for the more upmarket one is just about acceptable if the suspension is better than the Aerox. But will it be reliable? I wish Yamaha would bring out an Aerox of this spec. It would be cheaper than the Aprilia. And definitely 100 per cent reliable. The 300/350 class scooters are too heavy and bulky for city use. I like the RE Hunter. Tremendous value, but I'll stick with my Mk2 KTM 390 Duke. First-class video. Edit: the Apilia has only a 174cc engine. Just badged as a 200. I really wish they wouldn't do this.

My only issue with non Japanese is parts and service network. I may buy a Paggio in the USA, but not SE Asia.

Advance happy birthday! 生日快樂！身體健康！

Is it still possible to do the visa run every second month?

Cool video I enjoy your motorcycle reviews..the royal Enfield is a cool motorcycle..my only concern in North America it will cost closer to 8 k... There is no way this motorcycle will be for sale for less than 4 k..duty taxes tariff etc..if this motorcycle was sold in North America for around 4 k new...they would sell Tonnes of these motorcycles

2 scooters a motorbike and a free bike wash ;)

🥳🥳🥳Happy Birthday🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

damm is the castle closed?used to be my favorite spot lol,spend lots of nights there

haha stand out in the crowd, for us who just ride a bike it looks like everything else... Honda etc..

I thought of the GPX Legend 250 before I started to watch 😃 Another blogger travels all over Thailand on one, and he likes it a lot. Honda is the most sold scooter in Thailand, with the cheapest parts. It’s like GPX made in Thailand*. GPX Legend 250 must be a bargain. * Different info where GPX is made. Thailand or Malaysia?

My dream was to retire in thiland and get a big bike but because I had a mojor stroke I was told I can’t get on a bike he said if I fell of and hit my head it would crack open like an egg it’s not worth it but I enjoy watching ur blogs showing bikes 🏍

I like the look of the aprilla. 145,000. May be a little expensive for me . But never say never. What's the address for Lana the visa lady ? Another good review Lucas . Thanks

Hello Lucas ! Tell me, can Lana set up a O Retirement Visa from start to approval , also helping you set up a Thai Bank Account, etc. ?? Also, does one need a drivers license and insurance to drive around, not on major streets with an Electric Bike or E- Bike ???

Keen on the new cb350rs yet to be confirmed for Thailand and whether it will be Thai or Indian made. Expected price to be in the 120-140K range.

Aprilia looks really nice but I fear that when it breaks down it will be hard to fix. I think Yamaha or Honda is a good choice because pretty much anyone can work on them, imho.

Seems strange they don't have at least one to test drive 🤔

Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650

Should get yourself a classic 2 stroke Vespa. That has gears lol.

Hey man. Your at the Visa office I see. How much there for your retirement visa ? And is it multiple entry if you leave the country and come back in ? Thanks in advance. Enjoy the scooter review Looking to buy on return.

Vee's PCX sounds interesting..

P.S. How was the Birthday Party ''BLOW OUT ''''??? Wishing many , many more.....

They are both great bike options! I wld just modify the seat to be a bench seat. Say, do you see any 2000s and up Yamaha SR400's over there? Thx

Looking for a 350 cc motorcycle with a comfortable seat, that’s my main objective, any recommendations?

Like I said not into the bikes like looking but not a fan myself. A small car will be nice or any small covered vehicle just to dart around in, here and there.. Need air conditioning lol lol or may I say want !!!

I'm curious does your friend use Lard to make the Tortillas, coming from A Tex-Mex family it's the only to make them, and you can tell the differentness in them. everything is better with Lard.

On your channel page there is a section for members only. How do I become a member? When I look at RU-vid on my iPad, I don’t see a way to become a member

Hi Lucas, hope all is well!! Have a question, which scooter would you recommend for someone who is 6’3 325lbs? (Enough power, and look right size wise) thanks!!

First

It is assembled in Vietnam and the Sport is 148,900THB...that is twice the price of a PCX 160....money to burn Lucas?

Dose Aprilla sell the ETX150 in Thailand ?

Greeting Lucas. $4000 for a moped , it better makes me sandwich & do my laundry too lol !!! My question is where do these mopeds being build and assemble?

Don't scooters have to be made in Thailand to avoid heavy tariffs? Who has factories over there? Honda for sure.
