  1. Started looking at the cheapest new basis truck deals in Sukhothai area the experience so far.

     

    Mitsubishi web ad was 2.4D 2 door Triton Mega cab with a rear opening cab door, m/t 547k,  at dealer 581k and steels rims not ali rims as shown in ad picture, they would knock off 30k if you didn't want 3 year insurance deal, so 551k,  deposit 146k.

     

    Toyota Revo 2.4D 2 door smart cab, no cab opening door, wind up windows m/t 599k, :sick:  nearest to Triton was 699k and would only do with ali rims,  deposit 140k.

     

    Ford Ranger 2.2D 2door super cab with a rear opening cab door, m/t 6 speed, nice looking steel wheels, 545k, deposit 90k.  

     

    Off to see soon the Isuzu 1.9D offer,  Chevi,  Mazda, & Nissan.

    'What bike do you ride?"

     

    "I ride a Stallions, aka Mash, aka Genuine, aka Smoto, aka Romet 400"

     

    Not cool..

    Yeah they have way to go when it comes to motorcycles.

    I don't like Stallions style type of bike anyhow.

    In Thailand wanted a GSX-R1000,  l settled for good deal on a s/h Versys and happy with it and l would change it but won't sell it at prices offered.

    Stallions Centaur max250

    Remember this interesting post :-

     

    Quote....I read somewhere - can't find it now - that the 250 is a Suzuki engine made in China under Japanese supervision.

    I've also read that the 400s are made by Shineray (I think that's been accepted) using the original tooling that they used to make the Honda XBR etc. engines for Honda in the 80s

     

    Don't know how true either of those statements are. Lots of stories but few hard facts.

     

    The 400s are sold here as 'Stallions', in France & UK (maybe others) as 'Mash', in USA as 'Genuine', in Poland as 'Romet' and 'Motorstar' in Philippines. Many of the smaller Stallions are also sold under the Chinese brand name of 'Somoto' and were exhibited at an Italian bike exhibition in 2015 under the Stallions name, including engine capacities not available here.

     

    The 250 is sold in France as the Mash Cafe Racer 250, with some cosmetic additions but pretty much the same bike......Unquote.
