So to continue, I totally liked the looks of these bikes MV-Agusta F4 and Brutale F3:
Sorry, but forgot to ask the pricing but these should be out quickly as also imported by Kunka.
Just next to the MV's was KTM's stand with even one X-Bow on show (for several Mio THB of course........), I already see the boys of the rich parents parading them up and down Ratchada and RCA:
The beautiful RC8:
And the lovely baby Duke 200:
Another bike I liked of course the red/white livery on any Yamaha, here the new R1:
Should mention also that Yamaha dropped their prices a bit (R1 now 790k, FJR 820k, T-Max 495k an FZ1 590k) further on did they tell me that the FZ8 will come in maybe second quarter for approx. 480k THB.
I need to compare first but a first lookey also tells me that KTM's are cheaper than last year. 690 Enduro R goes for 628k, 690 SMC R for 632k and the 690 Duke for 628k, are new models as they now have all the same modified LC4 engine with 67 HP.
But pricewise the biggest surprise for me is SYM a taiwanese company who sells already by the containers in Europe and has quite a good reputation as they obviously have engines from Honda though not the last model but frugal, reliable ones, have ridden once the old 250 scooter and it was a good one.
Was told that the 300i is already available for THB 150k:
specifications:
and the 400 version should be available end of March for THB 215k which isn't bad at all just looking at Vespa/Piaggio ridiculous prices here in LOS:
specifications
sorry made a mistake in labelling the last 2 fotos should be 400i not 300.........
I might get tempted to get one.............as their reputation is good in Europe.........
Another nice bike they have on show is a 'baby ER6n', forgot to ask the price......:
specifications:
Another nice aspect to this show was that there's a lot of companies with different bikes, propped up with good paintjobs, chrome and accessoiries, didn't take any fotos as mainly cruisers and I'm not at all interested in them.
As with Honda's showbikes, other than the CBR1000RR none of the bikes they had did even get me to take a picture..........loads of talk about the CRF250 but not even one on show other than an imported non-street-legal one, well I will not be a customer of them now and in the coming years.......
A nice Vespa copy from India caught my eye, called Stella with a nice sidecar:
And last a nice Wave-speedboat of the Royal Thai Police:
So that was a Saturday and money well spent, will go there next year again and hope that there will be more goodies to come.
Cheers, Franz
