Have done a little MC riding in northern Thailand. Very interesting riding in the teeming mass traffic of rush hours in town. Kind of like being in a whitewater River. Unpredictable motion going on all around you.
Much more normal in the countryside except that the roads are shared by everybody on whatever and their critters.

Not many big high power bikes to be seen in that area. A buddy that spends a lot of time there had a touring bike that was in the 600cc range. It was concidered a big bike there.

Your group ride trip sound like fun.
