Honda Custom Four motorcycles
 
They are simple and reliable classic design motorcycles - just what is needed in this part of the world. They have a single cylinder, four stroke electric start  engine with six gears that delivers, longer wheelbase, tubeless tires, alloy wheels, front and rear disc brakes and crash bars. They are also ECO friendly with fuel consumption less than 3l/100 km (100mpg) due to Evaporative Emission Control System. There are 6000 authorised HONDA garages along our routes where this bikes can be serviced. Being light and responsive, motorcycles handle well. They are "rider friendly", therefore particularly popular among older riders and ladies. We supply half helmets and cushion for pillion. For more comfort you can bring along your own air or gel pad and helmet.
Simple touring style
We believe that support vehicle takes away the adventure spirit from motorcycle touring. We run our tours following the motto "Everything I need, I carry with me". This way you have access to all your things any minute of the day. Each motorcycle is fitted with generously sized detachable and lockable GIVI panniers. Three panniers with a total of more than 100 litres provide enough luggage space during the tour. Laundry days are scheduled frequently.  Your suitcases and any items not needed on the tour, remain deposited in the base hotel where you will spend your first and last nights. You can parcel and post your shopping at a low cost to the base hotel any day during the tour.
Motorcycle insurance
Our motorcycles are governed by bylaws of the GENERAL INSURANCE ASSOCIATION OF THAILAND. The compulsory Thai third party insurance is included.  For the motorcycle itself, there is CDW (Collision Damage Waiver) included in the cost of the tour. First GBP 500 of any damage are riders responsibility. There is no other insurance coverage included or implied. It is mandatory that participants take out motorcycle touring insurance at home, at their own expense, to cover such things as tour and travel cancellation/interruption, personal accident, health and medical, hospitalization, property loss etc.
Comments on motorcycles
 
  • "Bikes were excellent, ideal size for the tour. Couldn't fault anything at all, thoroughly enjoyed it." wrote TRIUMPH bike owner from London.

  • "You do not need the latest plastic bullet and stupid grin on your face to enjoy motorcycle touring. Honda bikes were very rider friendly. Great touring holiday" said BMW rider from UK.


  • "One last comment; the Honda bikes BJ uses are perfect for Thailand. We often cruised at 100-110 kph, and the bike still had the fire for passing. Bottom line: without hesitation, I strongly recommend BJ and Avalon" commented the Honda rider from USA


  • "The bikes were great machines cruised at 105-115kph no problem very economical- enough grunt to carry me the missus and 3 panniers up the mountains and down. And so long as the tyre pressures are set for the weight of two people and 3 panniers then they handled like a dream" wrote one of senior Suzuki riders from New Zealand
