Triumph Thailand Bikes, Prices & Finance

Triumph pricing for the Bonneville twin models in Thailand is a joke , the bikes sold in Thailand are made in Thailand although the engine is made in England and sent to Thailand so its a partially CKD for customs which means it would attract a higher rate of tax but not the full import duty that it is actually priced at 550,00 Baht double the price of same bike in UK.

My calculations based on Thai governments own BOI manufacturing rates for vehicle duties makes the retail price about 395,000 Baht being that the bike is 865cc .

the 3 cylinder models are built in Uk so they attract full import rates ,,,Kawasaki are building the ER6 under the same laws and regulations as Triumph so someone is taking the piss as kawasaki are selling the ER6 for about the same price as in UK .

Triumph are going to miss a lot of sales and the Grey importers will take up the slack, they can undercut Harley Davidson here by 20% on NEW 2008 and 2009 models with books and warranty and I am assured that they will be doing the same with Triumphs when supplies can be obtained.

Got my bike serviced today and the Kawasaki ER-6n is now booked nearly 3 months out. Wow!
ER6f will be on display at the Bangkok Motor Show and they should have an official price and launch date at that time.
Let the Good Times Roll!

Hi Jerry,

If I follow your thinking, Trimph bikes (with an imported engine from UK) should decrease in price as the GBP has droped quite significantly and the Thai custom basis for calculation should take this into consideration.

At present a lot of Euros based bikers such as Germans and Frenchies are crossing the Channel to buy some cheaper bikes paid in GBP. Then they will stay few month (I think 6 with the British plate numbers and then transform it in their respective country numbers...

Hi Tony,

In the meantime coul you tell me when will be this Bangkok Motor Show, if by chance I could be there at this time ?

Thanks in advance.

Egoistly, I do regret that Kawasaki would be sold out for 3 month, I think it's this kind of bike you can "crack" on and buy on an impulse for 5000 €...

Hands down the Rocket III was the most fun to ride of any motorcycle I've ever owned. I bought the first one that arrived in Hawaii, I put down a deposit the day I first read about it and waited over six months to get it. If it was feasible to import a bike here I would have it still (I would have brought my Suzuki DR650 as well). Is it worth 1.2 million baht? No way in hell! My Vulcan cost 1/4 of that and it is still fun to ride. To me it is riding that is fun, it doesn't matter what you ride as long as you enjoy it.
