hehehoho

There's no hope for these people.

Perhaps it's a relative of the snake that that Udon Thani man married a few years ago.

The x-speed one is hanging out for some different forks and an aftermarket pipe.

The CBR250R does make a great little streetfighter though in fairness. I'd also put on a different rear which would also likely be half the price than all the stock pieces.

Streetfighter, and use the rear faring put on this CBR150:

USD forks.

Source a front headlight.

Aftermarket rearsets and levers.

dam_n, I'd almost buy it off him now as a project bike.

Maybe even put some Er-6n farings on.

It was your personal put-down that was tiring.

We get that you don't like the bike, do you really have to come into a thread specifically asking about it and add nothing but two things:

A nasty put down on the bike:

'You can dress up a pig, but it's still a pig '

And a nasty put down on a poster that was asking for advice:

'Do you really think Wana would know if they are??? ' .

We understand that the Kawa's 250 humiliation in the racing series, and inferiority hurts, but give it a rest and get over it mate.

As long as the Russians don't expect their safe boxes to contain anything when it's all finally settled I'm sure it will all be fine.

^ *sigh*

btw, will all the Grade Once teachers in Thailand also be given these tablets, and a training course on how to use them, as well how best to use them as teaching aids?

Why tablets - because they are trendy? Notebooks give a lot more bang for the buck

Yes, but how are you supposed to pop balloons and bake cakes with your finger on a notepad?

Great for hand eye coordination (balloon popping games), and learning processes/order and memory (food prep games).

I ended up getting 2x 60 days tourist visa from a tout outside of the

date operating in full view of the consulate himself going in and out

and all embassy staff

I think I can see why the OP was refused.

A nice bit of baht for the staff this way.

Cutting out the Cat Converter.

2000b service, lots of pics here.

Wonder how much it changes the sound and performance.

I'm telling ya, do the frame in Ducati red, spend the money on USD forks instead of faring, black tank, black fiberglass racing rear, Biker's levers and rear sets and you're good to go.

Things like stock mirrors and exhaust pipe would be expensive.

After market ones would be cheaper.

I'd take it to Honda, get a quote for everything needed, then see what pieces you can get aftermarket.

The muffler itself is about 10k I believe... Should be able to knock a good few thousand off the total cost by only buying what isn't available outside Honda.

Fairings will probably run to 10k, tank 3k, aftermarket levers and handlebars from Bikers, get rearsets for 3,500 rather than stock, instead of buying all the rear plastic maybe go for one of the Thai made rear ends from Tyga or K.Win.

Maybe turn it into a streetfighter?

But with a full racing rearend from Tyga, a local made pipe, and Biker's bars, levers and rearsets.

Aftermarket mirrors go for 600b.

There's a lot of opportunity there for him to have a really cool, different bike, as opposed to throwing in the towel and taking a massive loss by selling it as scrap.

Had a great 500km+ day ride today. The CBR just seems to eat up the km. Aranyaprathet to Bangkok in 2 1/2 hours.

Powercommander.

Anyway, thought some people would find this interesting. It's posted by Dynojet on another forum about a Powercommander, and I'll put the 2 posts together.

Ran across this thread and thought I would chime in to update you guys. We are NOT planning on doing a PCV for this model. Let me explain why. This bike has an O2 sensor on it that controls up to 85% throttle. We have tried to do a simple disable of the sensor but have had no success. Other companies simply add a bunch of fuel to the unit which causes the long term trims in the ECU to max out and will be fine under some conditions. The problem with this is the variance in the bikes, fuels, O2 sensor and weather conditions. When we did this we were able to keep the bike around 13.3 AFR which is good, but we simulated this bike going to sea level (we are at 2200ft) and the ECU started to lean the bike all way back out to the stock AFR of 14.7:1. This represents a problem in our eyes. So the only other way around it is to use our O2 Optimizer like we do on many other bikes. This Optimizer would run the cost of the PCV up to $429.95 and technically the only adjustment you would have would be 100% throttle as the rest of the area is controlled by the Optimizer. We decided to go with our simpler design the DFC. This unit incorportates the Optimizer into it but gets rid of other features like the shifter and Auto tune. This unit is just about ready to go, just need to iron out a couple things. We actually just sent 70 of them to the Canadian Superbike series.

...........

Think of the DFC as a simpler Power Commander. Still has full fuel control but does not allow any expansion. for instance the PCV allows you to bring in a speed signal and do a map per gear is desired. The DFC does not. You can not simply add the quickshifter sensor to the DFC either. Nor can you add the Auto tune system. The DFC can hold mulitple maps in it and switch between these maps via a turn pot on the module itself. The fuel curve can also be adjusted via turn pots on the module in 3 different ranges. Will work very good on this model since most of the fuel curve is controlled by the O2 sensor. This unit also has a retail of $249 instead of the $379 PCV.

Blimey, as someone who only buys with cash I imagine that's going to be a long 5 years.

I would guess so.

I'd either go onto the Thai CBR150 site as I'm sure they'll have some cowls, or contact Sumet as I think they sell them, and it's probably easy to check.

Hopefully they can get some ice ready for the stranded ones.

I've had a few before, and they're very tasty.

Anyone know a Bangkok importer?

Thailand visa rules are way too difficult for married (to thai wife) or retired people.

How so?

^ the words 'Brewery, a Piss-up, in a, and unable to organize' spring to mind.

Thai government nets nothing from illegal workers.

Incorrect from the get go.

Everything they purchase generates tax revenue.

I cannot believe that virtually any 'Tourist' would find the Thai visa system for them 'uptight'.

My family are tourists as they come here on holiday a few times a year. They simply show up at the airport and are granted 30 days. This is longer than what, I'll guess at about 90% of tourists stay in Thailand for per visit.

Should they ever visit for longer they'll very easily be able to stay here for 180 days! With a double entry tourist visa, two extensions at an immigration office and a border run in between.

What else do tourists want?!?

You have to remember that they hate you and despise you living here.

Not to worry, you can always just walk away.

Providing you didn't sell everything you had to move to Sisaket and buy people property.

Tiz a nice place actually. Have ridden through it a few times.

^ I got my current 5 yr license in Nov 2011.

It is not something that is particular to Thailand. If your'e from the British isles do all of your DL's look the same?

Now you're talking different countries, not different provinces within the same country.

And yes, every county in England has the exact same D/L. Same goes for the rest of the separate countries that make up the British Isles.

My 5yr Thai D/L issued at the Chatujak DoLT in Bangkok has my address, in Thai, on the back, for what it's worth.

Perhaps some people haven't bothered to learn how to read and cannot recognise it.

It is an interesting thread though, and one that should motivate people doing a visa run to have such information at hand, just in case.

Someone's getting ahead of the 2012 graphics.

What's that tail off? One of the Tyga sets for the old CBR400's?
