Post by: albaman on November 23, 2009, 09:22:50 AM: I have just bought a (Chinese) Vesta from Deniz Motor on the Baris Manco Bulevard in Calis.

Total price 2,250 TL for 150cc scooter, helmet, storage box, insurance, 2 years guarantee, road tax, etc.

Th guy is called Abo (Abdulah) & is extremely pleasant & helpful.

Regarding Chinese verses Japanese, you pays your money & you takes your choice. Yamaha = Rolls Royce, Chinese = Ford?

Make a researc in the web, KYMCO has very high sales numbers and a lot of satisfied customers. You can buy Agility or Agility city models.

I don't know the Fethiye dealer but you can find the number on the web too.

Dear Mr Clancy

You are allowed to buy a car or a motorcycle in Turkey if you wish to export. If you wish to buy and ride your motorbike in Turkey you must register your motorbike with the local traffic police. The local police would ask you to submit your residency permit.

Therefore, you need a residency in order to buy and ride your motorbike in Turkey.

Yours sincerely
