Interesting a CBR300 in Thailand and a CB 500X in USA.
How does the CBR feel like in Thailand, why not a 500X?
Price only, or......?

Last one for my collection.
1998 VFR800.
It needed a few things sorting (tyres, brakes, indicators, dash, levers) but she now rides really well.

I had a little bike made for the missus so she didn't feel left out. You can keep your overpriced postie bike - here's the Honda Rally Cub!

Only spend 5 months in Thailand every year, before covid. Like the looks of the 300, good price & it takes us everywhere we want to go. Nice to have a smaller bike when riding around Chiang Mai City. The bike is perfect for the back roads, goes as fast as I want to go on the 4 lanes. A little slow on the steep parts on the road to Pai, but we have all day.
Agreed on the smaller is often better.
My best fun times riding here were always on the 125cc bikes.
Outrageous fun.
I find with a bigger bike your travel a lot faster, cover more kms looking at the road, and don't necessarily see a lot more apart from watching the tarmac. 70-80-90KPH is a nice speed if you want see things.
You've never locked so cool. Aging like a good bottle of wine. Well done.
Great pictures! Makes me wish I could find a 1974 Norton Commando 850 over here.
Hopefully there is never a last one. I am always looking!
This is one of the bikes I really wanted when I moved to Thailand in 2008. I had to sell my Suzuki DR650 and Triumph Rocket III when I left Hawaii. So since they finally sell it here I could not resist adding it to my collection. Only got 350 kms on it so far but love it.
Wow, Did You have it on the Memorial Ride? I would love to take a look at it? Great value for Money.
I will try and bring it to the Up Country Dinner in January if there is one, probably will not be up North again until then. I had my 1400 GTR on the Memorial Ride, in Khao Koh eating lunch on my way home now.
Yeah I saw Your 1400 . How does the KLR ride? Can't wait to see one or test ride. I think they would be great for up here?
Yes. I did the MHS Loop and the Golden Triangle on a Honda on a PCX. I thought I would hate the trip, but it turned out to be fun. I enjoyed more of the scenery on those days.
My girls. BMW F750GS and Honda CRF300L. I can do most of the terrain in Thailand with these two. Want to trade the BMW in for something similar with a Honda badge though (ease of getting parts/service).

Where did You get the Rally Lights for Your 300? Are they off the Old Honda Baja?
Hey Ian, I got them from OneHandMade (can be found of Facebook) from Taiwan. Excellent quality and fit. I see someone is making them in Thailand too, but I think they need to go back to welding school. OneHandMade (really only has full use of one hand) can really lay down a "row of dimes" with a TIG welder. Some of his creations are gorgeous one-off bikes.

What an Excellent photo! Absolutely Love it! You haven't changed a bit!
I'm cool riding a motorcycle! With motorcycle bluetooth interphone.
Wear the blue-wash jeans, a short-sleeve/long-sleeve T-shirt combo, cream leather gloves and a pair of Fight Club-worthy sunnies for the occasion.
I've been back on a scooter since my bike crash, waiting for the leg to recover.

Ooops done it again. A David Unk crash.
Time for a quick cuppa on the Khong it's a 16 kms meander upstream to 1 of my favorite coffee shops, Enjoy on the Mekong. Enjoy Coffee has a magical relaxing atmosphere, but it was a boiling hot day when I left Enjoy to gently meander home. An old rustic house with a magnificent tree on the...

Rolled over 7000km today, looking forward to 2 or 3 weeks in Laos.
