Yrs but they sre still 2017 midels. Spoke to KTM and no date as yet for 2018 model.. The 2018 has a heat plate fitted to the frame on the gear lever dide to deflect heat. Also a karger fan and some change to front fork.. But as far as Im concerned not a problem. Still a great bike. In fact Im ordering one at the motorshow in Bangkok on the 28th March . Avised absilable in late April. 

Sorry  I think in 2017 its be old model. Because sell stock before New Year and give good price for old model. Near 169000 with 1 class insurance.

No, I have worried about money, I am certainly not wealthy, but fuel economy does not enter the equation to what motorcycle I own or will buy.

Its not talking about money.

 As example. I am ride from Chiang Mai to Pattaya by Duke 390. So must think about fuel.. Because if real ride and enjoyed, need find Gas station near every 100km.. And not every Gas station sell 95 gasoline.

 On ducati diavel same situation. Near every 160 km need find gas station.

@PhiPhi have you seen the super highway in chiang mai? its bumpy as shit (up and down shake) and you feel every one of them 555. When you hit the brand new section the ride is butter smooth (especially with a warm engine), after the sharp inch and a half high bitumen transition bump... 

 

So I did some PCX research and apparently it does 100 mpg, mine is reading 35.8 km/L which if you convert it is 84.21 mpg so really not much difference apart from the small fuel tank but 80-100b and <5 mins stop every now and again for city driving is fine. I thought the difference was a LOT more

In Chiang Mai  can do 180. After 180. Its little shakes..

 But its not about nmax, aerox or pcx. They Speer its 110-120... So its fine road for this is speed.

Looks like  KTM Duke 390 clocks ?

Yes sir. Its Duke... And its even not top crazy driving. If 150-170 ...  Or/ and in top rpm in another gear. Can be more than 6l per 100 km

Fuel consumption showing an average of 30km per liter for mixed riding, slow and considerate in town and wide open on the highways.

Even not funny. Even not full lover its near 25km per liter(4l per 100km) on NMax. And sure its near same on Aerox...:)

Yes indeed, the ER6 is cheap, but somehow this bike is just not attract me, i can't even really tell why, that's just how it is.

The Ducati is probably a nice bike, but when looking at the 796 then the price is probably something like 260k, and then i would think: for 300k i get a MT-09

So somewhere i have to do the cut and i think 200k is ok, so the 796 is out at the moment

 

Look 795 and its be near 200

We have imported a number of cars from Japan over the years: Toyota Supra, Celica GT-FOUR, Nissan 350Z, Nissan Cube, Toyota Crown, etc. It can be done, but you need a good agent. 

Hi. How are you? Long time not chating

Second hand its still can be import?

 I think after 2011 its can't.: (

nothing to do with food - stupid comparison....

 

Aerox outselling the N Max 2 to 1 - even out selling all the Yamaha super bikes - the public have spoken !

 

so you're tall - Most people aren't hence the Aerox's popularity.

 

The Aero's wider diameter / wider wheels n tyres and devilish good looks - trounces the Pug ugly N Max's rear disc any day i'm afraid.

 

Soz and all that.

 

 

Good look?:) for me all japanes  style scooters look ugly. So not see big difference.

 I not say any. But Nazism be more popular than aerox's.

 So popularity nothing to say..

 Look at fact. N Max more effective breaking, sit more comfortably , the fuel tank is larger . So it bettered scooter than aerox.

I agree the Forza has a lot of storage room under the seat but that's not enough to get me to buy one. I have saddle bags for the Stallions if I take a long trip. Never thought about going grocery shopping with it when I bought it as I have a car for big shopping and my Airblade for small shopping.

You have sanddle bag and its still 160kg and bags give you for free dealer? And its still " maneuverable in traffic".. ?;) and airblade + Stallions 400 cost less than forza?

I can see English is not your first language.

Why would anyone want a scooter that weights 200kg. The good thing about a scooter is that it is maneuverable in traffic. The Stallions 400 weighs 160kg and is more maneuverable in traffic than the Forza and has a higher top speed.  The Stallions 400 is not an old motorcycle. It has only been in production for one year. The engine is a copy of a Honda XBR 500 with fuel injection instead of a carburetor like the XBR had. I guess if someone does not know how to drive a motorcycle with gears and a clutch than buy a Forza with a CVT transmission.

Sooter is taken for many indicators in the number and for the trunk and the lack of gearshifts.

And  Its scooter NOT motorcycle.

CVT its useful, an do not broke shoes:)

2.

How is not old if its COPY!!! Engine 1985???

 Again its to different 2 wheels vehicle's.

Well the Honda Forza 300 has been out for at least 3 years as a friend has a 2014 model and I can run rings around him with my Stallions 400 Scrambler and my Stallions was 40,000 baht cheaper.

1. Stallions 400 its not scooters.

2. How you canting around himself if top speed bear same and acceleration to.

3. Rice its cheapest. So you can 24 hour 366 day eat it. Is it?:))

4. aStallions 400  old motorcycle with questionable production quality and with very low technical characteristics. Its not cost money for which it is sold

I'm "normal" Farang size, so the height of all these bikes should be ok for me

I do not know what mean "normal"

But 795 its for Asian markets. So its little be  lower in height than 796.

 Just in case.

Thanks for your input.

The Ducati Monster would probably cost something like 250k, and i got a bit bored of the style, it's very special, but i saw it in BKK so many times.

The Vulcan is nice as well, but a bit too much chopper for my taste.

Currently i also tend to get a MT-07, they are offered used for slightly above 200k, so with some negotiating 200k or a bit below should be possible.

But one thing that confused me: Does the MT-07 always have ABS in Thailand? The Yamaha website doesn't mention ABS, but some news articles mention it. And on some pictures of bikes that are for sale i can see an ABS sticker on the front fender.

If you not to tall can find monster795 even less 200. And its nice bike much more fun than mt-07 . and I am not sure you can find less 200 mt-07...

ER6n  and monster best choice naked at this is category in Thai second hand market. I mean how much you get for price pay.

Its a scooter <deleted> !

 

Aerox has disc on the front and drum on the rear...

 

Thats ok for the performance of the bike.

 

Many seem to agree - Aerox now Yamaha's best selling bike.

.

MacDonald's its much selling foods.

 But can say its good or healthy food.

So best selling its nothing to say.

 And for tall guys its not really comfort..

Nmax have rear disc break.

Ducati Monster.

Please stop trolling.

I am not trolling. Just kidding. But its serious about  why not knowing the technical capabilities of the car. The physical capabilities of the driver. do based on the speed of some conclusions. 157 is quite a safe speed if the technical capabilities of the car allow on Thai motorway.

Heavy: Hehe... Am not planning to carry the baby... am riding it :) 

So just injoy it.. And not care about fuel consumption. Just if you go for some long distantion.

 But if ride I am sure it be 6l and up.

 Because got on 370cc easy near 6L

Thai motorways are much more unpredictable, therefore require a lower speed.

Yes is it.I agree. so do not exceed 250 kmh as on the German autobahn.

Yes, the motorways in Thailand differ from the highways in Germany.

So what is different?Thai motorway some special? not knowing the technical condition of the car, and the physical condition of the driver can you draw some conclusions? :)

Mine is the Scrambler which has the same engine as the 796. Other people seem to be getting slightly over 5L/100km as well: http://www.fuelly.com/motorcycle/ducati/scrambler_icon

 

The point is: engine size matters, but not as much as you think. It's how you ride the bike that matters most. But this is getting off-topic. Simple fact: this Leoncino can most likely achieve the posters claimed fuel consumption numbers without too much effort.

I am not Thinks I got in from practice. OK sure its offtop.:)

 Benelli look nice but its heavy.
