hehehoho

could it be released in Thailand?

No.

1. Uuugghhh.

2.Uuugghhh.

3. Uuugghhh.

4. Uuugghhh.

5. Uuugghhh.

6. Uuugghhh.

7. Uuugghhh.

8. Uuugghhh.

9. Uuugghhh.

10. Ahhhhhhhhhhh.

Perhaps spend 1000thb on a flight to Bangkok when you decide to buy.

Surely that is a price from 'a Honda dealer' and not 'Honda'.

Fortunately, unlike Kawa and their set price gouging on the N250, Honda dealers have the freedom to set their own price. So there's great deals in most places nowadays.

Ok, my bad. 129+ for the CBR.

Eh?

Yeah, 129k with a Yoshi pipe and a Bazzaz z-fi fuel controller.

CBRs within 50 meters of my condo retail at 105k, reg, tax and insurance all in.

I believe that Richard was also telling us that 'In the near future you will be able to take a CBR250 into selected dealers in Thailand and for a few hundred baht they would be able to programme different fuel maps onto your bike'.

That future wasn't, and isn't, so near at all.

Ok, the CBR 250 is 139 and change.

Eh?

Yeah, 139k with a Yoshi pipe, a bazzaz z-fi fuel controller, a DNA airfilter, a nice set of set of Pirellis and a tip to the cute sale's girl.

Their new 700cc crosstourer thing is on the front of a new Thai bike magazine. Probably more chance of that being released here.

Just put it into Airasia, about 9 flights a day, all at 1,199thb including all taxes and surcharges. BKK-HKT 9th Feb, return 15th Feb, same price.

How much is a taxi from the airport to downtown Patong?

So does a taxi from the airport to a hotel cost more than a flight from Bangkok yet?

Seems odd, you know:

'ignore Honda press releases so you won't be disappointed.'

'I'm excited about the CRF based on....' Hmmm.

Anyway, should be a great little bike if it's released. Though I think many would be disappointed if they don't see a Honda bike larger than 250cc released in the next year or so, as it would really open up the market.

Expressing the anger created by their desperation.

^ I don't know, you seem pretty excited over a non existent bike so far.

All of them will come with fuel injection engines and various engine capabilities up to 250cc,

That's a bit disappointing.

How is that disappointing?

With AP Honda's press releases about them entering the Big Bike market here, that their Big Bike wing is being prepared to open, that their factory has lines ready to begin production on Big Bikes it's disappointing to see that their official unveiling of 7 new models won't include anything above 250cc.

Um... they "entered" the big bike market last year with the CBR250.

I don't believe you've read the recent AP Honda press release(s), beginning in August 2011.

Perhaps take a look and educated yourself.

East Oz can't comment, but, it would have to be expensive compared to Phuket.

How much is a 400m taxi ride, and hospital fees for a broken skull?

Tiger Boxer ok

I'm not sure, don't they usually rust and fall apart after two years?

Which, to be fair, seems one year better than Honda.

(only joking of course)

Following fashion is not always smart?

You mean I should put the mirrors back on my bike?

I would recomend Penang, the Gold Coast in Aus, all the way up to Cairnes. The Canary Islands, Vietnam, Maldives, Goa and many many more

No need to even leave Thailand Waza.

Which part of:

That would depend on a number of different factors.

Are you having trouble with?

Please enlighten us simple folks as to the factors you consider to be of utmost priority.

The tourist's wonts and needs are a good start.

Lets make this easy.

Why don't you give a list of places you would recommend on different factors of your own choice?

Maybe that will get you out of parrot mode?

What am I, a public tour guide? On a Saturday night.

Please, it's not my job to un-blinker people, who will likely steadfastly refuse to be unblinkered. Sorry ye folks find it so offensive, but if ye can't wake up and smell the turds, it's not my job to provide rose scented smelling salts.

Which part of:

That would depend on a number of different factors.

Are you having trouble with?

I'm afraid people on here seem quite blinkered and defensive, when there's really no need to be. Open your eyes and realise that Phuket is second only to Pattaya as being the Tourist Sewer of Thailand. And it's a really close call, possibly even un-call-able..

That's all. It's not taking anything away from the CRF.

^^^ Fine mirror stalks to hang the Tesco-Low-tat bags off in fairness.

The CRF does look interesting, if it comes in with the CBR250 engine (more HP than the KLX) and the same price as the CBR. Bet that could be fun in BKK.

I thought it was pretty simple to understand to be honest. Didn't realise people would have such difficulty with it. Perhaps it will even need to be said again for the simpler folk.

Are you ready for it....

Just announced that this thing is to be released in Australia next month at a hefty AUS$1,990.

Wait for it...

Keep the queue orderly fellas.

That would depend on a number of different factors.

Priority

Low crime stats, low rate of violence and murdered farang

Honest tuk tuk/taxi service

tropical palmtree beaches with clear water

a variety of local and international restaurants

close high quality hospitals

english speaking locals to be found

top notch night time entertainment

Now, which areas do you recomend over Phuket?

Next time somebody is in a van that's being driven like a lunatic, video it and the driver on your phone and post it up. Make sure to get the company name etc. in the video
