hello everyone welcome to the channel I'm citement so recently I did a video
about some motorcycles I saw in petchaburi City in a shopping mall and I
just ran through there with a camera and quite a few of you asked me to do
certain videos on more sort of common type bikes or different bikes around
Thailand so this one today firstly I'm gonna do a trail bike a trail bike is a
road bike come Green Lane like motorcycle the world Wharf Road but was
designed for the roads mainly and yesterday was my birthday 56 years old
thank you for all the well wishes and Michael my wife's sister's husband here
in Thailand recently bought a trail bike was a bit different and he gifted it to
me as a present so I'm going to show you it now I call it a Frankenstein bike and
this in Thailand people find bits and pieces and motorcycles and put them
together from all different brands hence the name Frankenstein so I'm going to
call this a yam and Sachi yeah mondo sake yum one that sounds good
so is mixture Yamaha Honda Kawasaki and the case so there we are
and I've got my little stall and I'm gonna show you this bike in detail so
for those who are not into motorcycles I fully understand if you're gonna chew
now to this video but let's see if I can get the light right now
sure I'm gonna put the little seat down I'm gonna with the light I try and give
you a clue
what we've got here so this trial bike it's got the bigger
wheels the biggest suspension the forks so it can go over bumpy roads and fields
but this bike tank I believe is a Suzuki tank and seats we have an engine a 1 to
5 cc Yamaha engine and then the frame and bits of the bike are Honda hence the
name Frankenstein yep Ron you don't like missing out on the videos engine is a
two-stroke single cylinder we have no air filter on the carburetor we have no
oil tank so we have to mix oil and fuel in the petrol tank to make it run and
that hot that Sun is hot and they've chopped the frame I see a proper
box-section frame they've just cut it to put the different engineer unbelievable
no key to start it there's a switch they made out of a bottle top ingenuity of
Thailand but that doesn't work the cuts off switch here doesn't work in fact you
think it wouldn't want oh there is a light we have a safety real light here
yeah okay now normally a trail bike exhaust will come up away from the
ground because of ground clearance it would normally come up here and go up
and run under the seat along here but they've made this sort of little exhaust
not quite finished it is a complete mishmash of a bike really really is but
here in Thailand it doesn't really matter in the village although this one
I will get the number plate would you come to the number plate I will get them
a plate to put on and some lights I will put a proper ignition switch on it I
will put replace the front light which is a bit of tape I will fix it up
because it was a present for me and I spend a little bit of money on it
and make it into a road legal farm bike that's called up there we go a one two
five Yamaha Honda Kawasaki Suzuki think
these type of bikes are all over Thailand where somebody puts the bits
together a bit of ingenuity and makes himself a cheap little farm boy fat all
over the world this happens but I thought I'd share that one with you I
think we're going to move on to a couple of other bikes here inside and again
request it this is one of the subscriber bikes we bought it's an automatic 125 CC
the automatic bit means that in the engine there's a belt drive and no gears
and when you look at this you have a throttling a front brake back brake a
key and the start button and that's it Keon starts rocking where you go simple
to ride no worry about changing gears great little machines this is a common
sort of bike in Thailand a lot of different models and varieties available
brand new something like a one to five scooter is about fifty three thousand
baht I think the latest on the clique very
common very easy to ride but the most common bike in Thailand are these the
Honda waves Honda probably the best motorcycle company in the world one of
the best companies in the world Japan Japanese company two bikes look very
similar these have little key turn on you have a throttle like the other bikes
and the front brake but the back brake is this pedal
and this these bikes have gears no clutch like a big bike these are just
semi-automatic you press the pedal at the front down for years 1 2 3 4
press the back ones come back up the gears 3 2 1 very easy to ride when you
get used to those gear changes probably the most common bike in Asia the Honda
wave both these we bought new twelve and fourteen years ago this one's got a
Chinese engine known as the Honda best that one's the Honda Wave engine the
made in Japan engine both of these hundred CC and 110 CC good bikes just
different cosmetics neither have electric start but you can get them with
electric starts and you have a kick start on the side folds I a lot like old
hot folder that kickstart it most common bike in Asia by far on the waves brand
new one of these 50 thousand bar the motocross bike bike trail bike if you
were to buy a Honda version of that they're about a hundred and thirty
thousand bar so you can see why ty local people will try and manufacture one
themselves make sense and there you go that's a quick run around on some more
motorbike a step for you oh nothing I got to mention this one the
1/2 dimension my Honda chaley collector's item 50 cc 3 gears again no
clutch 3 gears down there like the Honda waves these are the original monkey
bikes 50 cc they used to have bigger handlebars a neighbor called ape hangers
so they go up and then curve down I think that's why they called the monkey
bikes because you folded those down Chuck this in the back of your car
back of an RV great solid 50 cc engine goes on forever
this still runs Whitney's restoring
would you write that Sox no and Here Come squeak as well
no video would be right without one of the cats lesson you know if you like
this sort of video of talking about Tai Chi Lam hikes Asian bikes put the
comments below give me a thumbs up I'm quite happy to do more on bikes I was
surprised at how many people wanted information on bikes and it's one of my
hobbies I love bikes I hate bikes you see I make video that
motocross trail bike as we do it up and see what happens and we might even get
it on that motocross track up the road by the temple give it a blast round
that'd be good anyway thanks for watching catch you
