This post was meant to follow on Ians in Yamaha bikes what do you want
Sorry ended up as a new post.
Agree with Ian's post above, but the FJR1300 is a lot closer to the UK price than products on offer from BMW or Triumph in Thailand.
Not cheap but at 777,000 Baht with 2 year warranty and service and 1 year road tax and first class insurance, its not so far off European prices.
Of course that has got a bit worse since the pound has dropped significantly in the last 3 months.
The other Yamahas on offer are also very good value compared to other new big bikes available in Thailand. I believe this has something to do with a new trade agreement between Japan and Thailand, so maybe the import duty is lower for Yamaha.

I am expecting something to be on Show or at least some information available at the Bangkok Motorshow end of March? I will be up for either a XT660R or WR450. As long as they have a Plate and are with in a reasonable Price? Have to wait and see? Fingers Crossed. So don't Jump in the Deep end yet on Buying a Second Hand Bike, may be able to get a New one for not much more :wink:
