@ricklinux We have a much wider range of small motorcycles (scooters) here. Ranging from 100cc to 350cc. Anything above 400cc they consider a “Big Bike”. (The website has an English option)
In the next 2 years or so, I hope to replace my PCX with a Forza.
I don’t understand why they don’t offer these bikes here. Very nice!
Edit: Forza is available in the US but not Canada.
Market size. Here you can have a reasonable hope for a car (recommended for winter!) if you have a job - and can usually find a place to park it too! So, scoots are an ‘extra’ for enthusiasts mainly…
I’d feel pretty suicidal trying to ride a motor bike around Bangkok.
Bad enough driving a car
It can be frustrating but it definitely improves your defensive driving skills.
It does give a certain kind of thrill, at least when the traffic is actually moving.
Agreed. I do not even liking to drive a car there. When I have to go there, I would take the train and then use the BTS or taxis.
Makes me think of my old Dax…
It also had a 150cc engine, from a dirt bike that I swapped under it.
That little beast was a blast to ride, albeit extremely dangerous… I usually had to lift off in 2nd gear in order to keep the little front wheel down 
An ebike top speed is 28 mph and that’s plenty fast enough to do me in. Esp with my osteoarthritis and osteoporosis. I’m mush in a crash. I broke my wrist and two fingers while going up the stairs and falling up the steps.
This looks like the original Honda CT 70 I remember. 
They where called Dax over here…
I have an original blue ST 70, the one in the picture is a Chinese Skyteam replica that originally came with a 125cc engine…
Common practice here is to swap out the tame standard engine with a dirtbike engine… nearly doubles the power
I like to see a picture of the Blue ST 70
Here are both of them together… You’ll see the blue one still has that ancient springloaded front suspension, whereas the green replica has a more modern suspension.
The one below is another (later) pic I found of the green one, after i gave it a new saddle.
Downside to those chines replica’s is that you need to have wrenches and spare parts wherever you go 
Both are cool. Haven’t seen many of them around here for decades.
you see those 4stroke minibikes everywhere here…
We can drive up until a 125cc with our normal car drivers license. (at least if you’ve gotten your drivers license before 2011, afterwards you where required to do a small written test for those 125’s)
Lot’s of people buy these as little fun bike to stroll around the countryside, or even in the city, if they don’t need a car.
16 year olds also often buy the Chinese 50cc versions to go to school
I like them way better than the ebikes they have here which are just junk.
Just got these, purchased in the actual store while on a San Francisco trip. On top of that got one of their giant mousepads for free (5 yr store anniversary), lucky me.
Click-clack math rocks make happy!!
