Dbs don't have full system yet. Next month ..but he sez that every time I call
Pretty sure newf has a full system on his CB'r' track bike...
I have two full systems actually...had the namban first but it was dragging everywhere and I was told the mid pipe OD is too large by the API tech tuner. Had GOGO racing modify my bike last and he had another full system put on that a lot of the racers use but it doesn't have a name on it. I think it and "over" but not 100%, isn't as loud as the namban and i'm still waiting to get my ECU tuned too feel its full affect. Not the flashers exhaust ever but does the trick.
I recently put this Tsukugi on my CBR. It's actually a track pipe and is load as hell. Better acceleration and more top end speed. Some of my customers who have the same one have gone over 175 with it. I think you might like it.

the bike goes for 59,000 baht
I recently saw it at the Bangkok Motorbike Festival. It looked nice in flat black. If you get one, keep us updated.

Which smokescreen had the quality issues?
The quality of the screen was fine. However, it got a slight scratch during installation.

Thank you very much Andy and Roadsaints. We really appreciate your kind words.

I'm sure James from Dr. Bike could put something together for you. http://www.dr-bikebangkok.com/store/home/en.html Not sure of the price though. Best of Luck.

I've got a SH 40 that I use when I go on tours with my CBR 250. I've had it for about a year, and it still looks brand new. When I first got it, I was worried about balance and vibration issues. However, when riding, you don't even realize it is there. I think it looks ugly as hell on the CBR, but the rack and box are easy enough to remove between tours.
If anyone is interested in a particular Shad box, just send me a PM. Shipping is available anywhere in Thailand. Here is a link to the English version of Shad's website: http://www.shad.es/en/shad-asia/ Thanks.

and in answer to your original question. i believe the set of wheels for the Nouvo is around 3,000b for the pair.
How does a picture of a resprayed CBR confirm the police getting the Cbr?
Also the cbr150 is now in white tri colour. and i believe the white parts will fit the 250.
put your glasses on and you will notice a emergency siren mounted on the back
they have been making a fleet of these bikes since months ago ,if theyre not for the cops you tell me who theyre for ???
what does a tri color cbr 150 have to do with dr bike making custom police cbrs 250s ?
I was told that the BMA did those bikes for the Tesaket. Not quite police, but close enough.
-
I like the guy who ended up standing upright on the side of the car after the crash.
-
Well the NC700 is an amazing bike with cutting edge technology. I'm not surprised at all.

Sumetcycle: do you see that heaping pile of mess pictured above? If me and my mechanic could put that back together into a bike that you could not tell was ever crashed, you and your mechanic can do a simple wiring harness swap.
And yeah, I agree with you. Wait until the warranty runs out. The parts will be cheap and plentiful by then. I do not trust any aftermarket ECU add on things to override the limiter. My friends and I modified Acura NSX's (the cars) with turbos. We had so many problems with the ECU...you really can't bypass a Honda ECU without tripping some error code. If you're going to do it, do it right and swap out the ECU and wiring harness with a genuine Honda
I think the biggest cost of the de-restriction would be changing the exhaust. As you pointed out, wheather Japanese or American spec, most people would change that anyway.

Where exactly is the dent?

Tough job you have there Brian.
As my mom would say, living the life of Reilly!

Here are some photos our booths, display bikes, and beautiful models. Sometimes I really love my job!
Hey thanks Great pics !
Years ago I ran a Suzuki Shop in the USA & your right it is a great job.....even if I did not have the models you do
Hey your the foreigner in the pics? I always assumed you were a Thai owner
Thanks. I'm actually American. My wife is Thai, but we met in the States when she was doing her master's degree. Her family has been in the motorcycle business for years.

Very nice indeed. Cafe racer meets the future.

And are aftermarket parts going to be available being its a new model? Kamala Honda not even heard of it!!
Honda will have some aftermarket stuff for sure. Also, a friend of mine who has an accessory shop also told me that there would be plenty of aftermarket bits available.

Any idea what the total cost is for derestriction? I'm going to do it for sure when the warranty is up. Thanks.
How much of that 100,000 do you think is labor? Would using used parts reduce the price much? Thanks.
Brian/Sumetcycle
My thoughts are: since you want a brand new, legitimately imported CBR1000RR from Honda Thailand, just get the bike. Then look for parts on US Ebay from a crashed bike to derestrict. Or you could send an email to Sun Coast Cycle in the US and make a request for a 2012 CBR1000RR harness and ECU and they will notify you when they get one.
The problem you have is that your bike is brand new, and there is not enough time that has elapsed for salvaged parts to come onto the market. But as sure as the sun will rise tomorrow, someone will wreck a 2012 CBR1000RR.
The 100,000 baht price I am absolutely sure is due to the cost of buying brand new parts from Honda. As a dealer, you should know how much Honda charges for a brand new ECU/CDI and for a wiring harness. Buying used from a salvage yard, the ECU and harness should be less than $150 a piece. I know this because in 2008 I bought a crashed 2006 CBR1000RR and that's how I got the parts to repair.
What you will need to do is
(1) open up the airbox when you get the bike and remove the extra plastic pieces which restrict airflow into the air filters? Cost=free.
(2) put a free flow exhaust on your bike, which you were probably going to do anyways because I don't think anyone with a sportbike keeps their factory exhausts.
(3) swap out the ECU. The cost is whatever you can pick up a used ECU for. The labor on this should be free . Just plug in a new one from a US spec bike.
(4) swap out the wiring harness. The cost of the harness is whatever you can find a used one for. The labor for this aspect is the most difficult of any of the other modifications, but I don't think it is that difficult.
With my bike, when I got it the fuse box was sheared off from the crash. That left the harness cut up in bits and pieces and it took time for my mechanic to figure out where everything was supposed to plug in. Note the dangle of wires hanging from the left side. That is where the fuse box should have been.
Swapping out the harness on your bike should be simpler since you have a running, intact bike with the harness in place.
This is what a main harness from a 2008 to 2011 harness looks like:
The labor involved would be to take the body panels off your bike. Start at one end of the bike, like the tail lights, unplug the factory ecu at the connector, and plug in the new harness. Go connector by connector from one end until all the old connectors have been replaced. Voila! You have replaced the harness. Not that difficult. You could probably do it yourself.
I don't think the cams are different, so they don't need to be replaced. The rear sprocket, the difference of one or two gear teeth is not going to make that much of a difference. The gearing ratio as it is set up now by Honda is designed to compensate for the reduced power.
Thanks a lot for the information. I figure I'll wait for the two year warranty to run out anyway, so stuff to do the de-resrtiction should be available by then. I'm sure with my mechanics help we could do the labor ourselves.

^Agreed 120hp is way more than enough for a first big bike, especially in Thailand. It can be de-restricted later. Personally I would rather spend an extra 100,000 thb for a new officially imported bike for which I can get dealer support for too, as long as it wasn't going to be ridiculously costly to de-restrict in the future.
I've checked to see how much it would be to de-restrict an 08CBR1000RR with Red Barron and was told that it would be 100,000Baht+. Lets also remember that the spec states 118hp (crank) for japan spec and 178HP (full spec) for the 08-11 model which i believe is the same as the new 2012 version. So you're probably looking at about the same as a CBR600 which is a good jump from the CBR250 but still a pain in the ass to de-restrict when you get sick of 600cc bikes blowing by you. One day at the track and you'll wish you got full spec.
How much of that 100,000 do you think is labor? Would using used parts reduce the price much? Thanks.
I would guess not much of it is actually labor. Used parts should drop the price, once the bike is out for a few months there should be more info on the web if they're is any differences then the 08-11 model.
Thanks for that. I just found this website: http://www.moto-works.jp/products/power_converters.html Surely it can't be as easy as popping one of these on.

Even restricted doesn't it still have a lot more torque than the average 600cc? The acceleration should still be there.

That sounds like a good price to me.
