Vehicles & Servicing Best Posts in Thread: "Best" Dealer of Honda Motorcycles?

I sold lmy 7-year old Honda XRM to replace it with the same, a new model, just because I could. The buyer, a trike driver acquiring it for family use, accompanied me to Du Ek Sam where we did the handover. The maintenance manager, who knew me well, facilitated the purchase of the new one. People told me I was selling the old one cheap, but I was more than pleased to get one-third the cost a a new one.

 

That's great to know. Thanks! It's been 4 months since I bought my Kymco from GUD. Maybe when I go back next week to renew the paperwork, my registration will be there. I don't care about the plate if you can pay a printer to have one made (I didn't know that was proper being from the US where you wouldn't get very far with an obviously unofficial tag. I've read many books on how "things are different here, but none are able to cover everything.)

I alway marvel at the lack of discipline here.
I often celebrate the lack of discipline here.
I often cringe at the lack of discipline here.

 

I bought my Rouser 180 from GUD (south) last March, seems like it was 3-4 months before the paperwork came back - without a plate. Since I had the plate number I took a copy to a printer across from the old cathedral and had them make a plate for me. Never bothered to ask GUD if the "real" one came in. Don't know about other places but the printer I went to would not make a plate without a copy of the LTO paperwork.

 

Just as a bit of added info, I decided the XR150L is the bike for me. Some may remember previous posts of mine about the need to climb the mountain above Valencia where it is steep and the pavement stops a few times and is rocky/powdered dirt when dry/washed out mud and ruts when rainy. I would prefer the CRF250L but I can buy almost 3 of the 150s for that price. A few mods like gearing, air filter, exhaust, handlebar w/riser, LED head and tail lights, and tires will have the XR150L working just fine for my needs.

 

Regarding my own perception since I bought a couple of brand new motorbikes both Yamaha and Honda, so no opinion about Kawasaki and Suzuki. Since you have decided it will be an Honda I can confirm that the after sales service in terms of maintenance/check up the Duek Sam branch near Cang performs @their best. The mechanic guys are very good skilled and trained enabling to do an excellent job a customer will be satisfied about. The working area is clean & organized. like I was always used to experience form the top 4 Japanese made motorbike dealers in my home country. One point to take into consideration, if you don't mind waiting for the final plate of your motorbike up till 3 years, go for it. Should you prefer a more speedy release of it, the Yamaha dealer in town going to the Ceres bus terminal could be a better option.Their after sales service and more can be compared with the afore mentioned Duek Sam branch.
