How to buy a bike in Asia?
Hello horizons unlimited forum,
firstly I would like to apologise if this is covered elsewhere - I have looked and googled for many hours now - but my internet connection is so slow (rural Australia) it is incredibly painful. If you know where to find the information a link would be greatly appreciated.
I want to buy a bike somewhere in Asia - legally - and ride it through several Asian countries. I am being vague because frankly I have no specific plans - if it's too difficult, expensive or illegal, I'll just cross it off the list like I have with Vietnam (cannot obtain a licence with tourist visa/ will not accept australian IDP so no insurance). I don't really care what kind of bike as long as it is reasonably cheap ($1000 usd ballpark), reliable and can cruise at regular speeds - 110 -250 cc should be fine.
I do not have any address in Asia or any way to obtain one. I can only obtain standard tourist visas to my knowledge ( no sponsors or employers). I have a valid IDP, passport, and Australian riders licence (provisional).
This is my first time travelling, so please keep it simple, as I am a noob. Any up to date, straight forward information would be greatly appreciated.
