Great Vid. Its been a long time

Wow, I can't believe it's been 9 years since I watched your first video on the CBR300r. That the reason I got my first bike and started my KZfaq channel. Love your videos man. Ride safe!

Maniac, I only move like that for pooozy

Hi, is it difficult to "live" with a big bike like a CB500X on Koh Chang? I am not sure what traffic there is but I imagine it must be difficult to get by in huge traffic like the one in Bangkok for example.

Start snatching purses!

Music

You lunatic! Some things never change

Nice ride looked like a light traffic day.

Nice vid and commentary. What is your size? I am a bigger rider at 184.5 cm, and 118kg. Can the 250/300 handle someone my size especially on the highway? I plan to use the bike for commuting, with the occasion highway tour. Thx in advance.

plenty of power for city riding

Love the videos. How did you get to Thailand? You run a business?

Excellent.

Care to comment on your luggage rack? Do you keep the plastic case on all the time or do you ride without the case? Does it affect the bike's ride, agility? It looks convenient, especially with the quick rain's we get here, but I wonder how useful it is to you. Is it worth having it on?

Nice! Northern Thailand is a great place to ride, that's for sure.

Nice video...I live and ride in Chiang Mai and that's riding in Thailand. You gotta keep your head on a swivel. Maybe because I'm getting old or because I worked in the ICU in a hospital...I would ride a little more conservatively, my friend. I've ridden that way too but... It just takes a split second - and you can't undo it. Keep riding'...stay safe.

Great videos man. Been watching them all to prepare myself when I get my bike there in October lol

wow, cbr300r beautiful

Good video...Keep it up. I love riding in Northern Thailand but that looks fun too :)

I have the same bike and also live in BKK. My suggestion to you is slow down a little, you should treat all road users as if they are stupid. Complacency is not your default mode here in the LOS, surely? Ride safe mate.

what exhaust???

your mic level is terrible, sorry I couldnt hold it after 4 minutes..

nice one

Take care re the unexpected. Thai road stats are not pretty..

9.37 NSR Proarm repsol Hahaha

Nice video! I had a Kawasaki 150RRR when I lived in BKK. I'm normally not too impressed with two strokers, but this one was great. Power enough to get it on the back wheel and past 200km/h :-O

are you live in bangkok ?

Hi Jaroslaw , I've decided to buy CBR300 in Thailand but haven't purchased yet. Normally I'll be riding in BKK but might sometimes have a trip somewhere around BKK (maybe 100-200 km). I'm not sure if CBR300 will be big enough. I'm not gonna use for real race..just for easy ride and ride fast sometimes. Thanks.

Best CBR review video I seen, I live in BKK also am and getting my CBR 300r right after Son Kran,,wanted to ask you what tires would you reccomend to upgrade to and how much they cost?

Hi Jaroslaw I got my CBR300R and i find the mirrors with limited field of view. can you post a link or a name to you add-on mirrors. Thanks Max

thanks for the video brought back the memories of living up there... have you thought about moving up in cc? 500 or 650

thanks :)

hi i just order the CBR300. how do you mount the phone?

hi dude from aus nice vids I get my brand new cbr300r abs in 1 week cheers safe riding

Well still in modification mode.. My hands seem to be too small for the stock levers, so I have ordered smaller one... the suggestion for the slip on exhaust was spot on.. I like the growl...however, sadly, I do not have time to ride as much..

Nice tour of the 'Kok. If only it could be like that everyday

By the way.. great cruising music.. Jimmy Ray Vaugh ?

Sawasdee Jaroslaw, I had the modification done to the exhaust.. WHOA.. the CBR 300 sounds like a bomb.. Took out the other elements, so it a bit louder..however, they is a little more vibration.. Hmmm.. that is not so good right.. nuts and bolts issues. Also, wanted to ask as my Thai is not that good..and the mechanics sometimes don't know what I am talking about.. It appears the CBR 300 handles for the clutch and brake extend further than my old CBR 150.. thus shifting is not comfortable.. Are there place in Bangkok .. shops,.. that have a type of adjustable level for smaller hands? I've had the bike since the 10th of Jan but have only ridden 4 times.. too busy.. Cheers

How about all the way down sumhuvit road... that would be a challenge

Your right, especially down by MBK, light traffic..and of course along the BTS way.. Years ago is was like this in San Francisco on a SL 350 jumping hills in the wee hours in the morning..

This trails remind me of my days in Khon Kaen on those T-style bikes... fun rides...

OK...thanks I got it..I paid 6k for the slip on... had to send it back, during shipping a little cosmetic damage, that the mechanic suggested this. Look at a HJC helmet from Paddock. in the price range. cheers.

any comments on the local replication of slip ons? quality vs name?

wow that was great.. next time ... I may try this route...

The bike is taking a little adjusting, also in the process of change the exhaust as you suggested, but there was a little damage to the slip on, so the mechanic advise me to sent it back. Thus a little longer for the varoom... 5555.. Also do you ever have trouble with dogs chasing you on country treks? Cheers

Thank you for your very useful review but I have something to tell you! , In Thailand some bridges is not allowed motorcycle to pass such as Ramkhamheang Bridge (at 4.33 Minute) and not allowed to ride on the sidewalk. It is illegal. I hope a good warning.

Really liked the running commentary in this video because there was barely a pause and packed full of useful information for potential buyers. As you know I'm not a big fan of riding bikes in Bangkok and find few things more terrifying then being on the back of a motorcycle taxi and it would be my last option if fleeing a riot or the scene of a crime, but I still found it all very interesting and compelling to watch. With that said, I am keenly aware of your riding skill and in the past twenty years I've seen you ride at much faster speeds on bigger bikes and know how hyper vigilant you can be, and there is nobody I would want at the controls over you if the cops were chasing us. And btw, I don't remember signing a waiver to be in your video, and you could have prepared me to put on a toupee and suck in my gut. Tips fedora #; {>

Dude, slow down.

Thanks, this is what I was looking for as a review on the CBR 300.. Still have to wait another 2 more weeks before I have it. I do agree with additional mirror function convex mirrors, increase vision. The seat, not sure, would it create aesthetic imbalance? YES comfort vs lines. Tires.. now that is a good point you make, on the wet road an issue. I don't ride too much during the rain. There was a log on purchasing Pirelli tires, but in my part of Thailand (south) everything will have to come from BKK. Helmet.. another question.. your personal choice based on what you can find in Thailand.. and price range. I just found specific cycle shops.. such as Pandarider.. by the K University area.. Oh.. sorry forgot to include on the old post, I'm riding the CBR 150.. Just want a little more power.. Lastly, ' exhaust..pipe" how would modify it? All custom of course, or can you just tell the guys at the shop, I want to make more noise.. Do agree out here.. many times, cut off on the CBR 150..if it sounds loud maybe a little more caution.. NOT sure, as you know Some Thai drivers, it does not matter, only get out of my way. Thanks again for the review.. cheers safe driving in BKK.. I have yet to do that.. I ride in the provinces...

Thanks for video highlights of your ride to Cha-Am, the beach looks better than in Hua Hin and more stuff to see too and of course less expensive. I appreciate your editing skills as I know it probably takes a couple of hours either way and much of the road looks the same. I noticed some near misses or what looked like scarey moments from my perspective but your riding skills are far and above mine, it is clear to see, so I'm sure it wasn't as dangerous as it appears. I also liked to see the average Thai going about their business and your wife's look of enjoyment as she sipped from a straw coconut juice, fresh in its original container. Then in typical Thai fashion, after some photo evidence of the trip, visiting a temple, looking at some elephants, it's back to the Big Mango on the same day. You have a knack for capturing on video, a captivating perspective of real Thailand travels experiences.
