Of all the times I got stopped at checkpoints, police have never asked me for my papers, neither on my bike or in my car, they are only interested in my driver's licence.

Every day I ride from home to work, it is 7 kms straight

The only curves I have to take is swerving between the cars.

get a honda cb1100 instead for 600 k from bigwing and its the deluxe version which is 400 k in USA.

have abs and although yamaha looks good, i do not like the fact that they modified it before selling it.

The CB1100 will go down in price middle of this year.

Somehow I like the look of the XJR1300 more, personal preferences and all that.

What do you mean they modified it before selling it?

i mean they put a couple of mods like a number plate in the middle, a new seat etc and it looks like someone elses modified bike.

cb1100 is plainer so open more for the individual modifications.

You are talking about the "cafe racer" version. There is also a "normal" model on the market.

A little bit the same what they did with the Bolt, released a normal and a cafe, looks like a lot of them do that now, even Suzuki with the new GD110.

I guess Stallions started it :-)

Always wait at the place of the accident.

Don't move anything until a police officer comes and sprays the white outlines on the road.

After spraying and moving, wait for the insurance agents. They will figure it out.

If you have been brought to the hospital, you will have to rely on the witnesses.

I had this one time and I was lucky all the witnesses were on my side

They will talk to the police and the insurance for you. Thais are not as bad as some people make them out to be.

My witnesses were a bunch of motorbike taxi guys.

Insurance of the counterparty paid for everything.

The Facebook page is this one: https://www.facebook.com/HondaBigBikeTH?fref=ts

It's updated almost daily.

I will raise the option of a mailing list the next time I speak to Kann. Thanks.

I am following that page. Now I see, they announced it as a trip for X-riders.

I got an F

Does anyone know if this is coming to Thailand?

As per usual, Yamaha Thailand doesn't have a clue

We talked briefly about communications. The person organizing this, K. Kann said he will publish these in English also. But if you mean some other way to invite besides notices on their Facebook page then do you have any suggestion how else they should keep in touch with their customer base?

Which Facebook page is that, because I am following theirs and there was no such announcement.

My feedback to Big Wing would be to actually invite their customers

It was presented at Central World, more infos will be released at the motor expo end of March.

I would actually be a bit scared going that fast on such a small bike.

What does the HU stand for?

I like it, been toying with the idea of a little cafe racer but didn't fancy a Stallion Centaur - this would be a pretty good starting point I reckon. Only 100cc though, hmmmm.

112 cc to be exact.

You are not legally required to have it visible on the bike, but you should be able to show it when they ask for it.

Got mine under the seat.

styling is flashy at photos or at showroom but actually dull.

plus it is a 200 kg bike so too heavy for a 300 something cc engine.

did you check the new yahama r3? it is a much more better bike with sure better quality and they are releasing it soon at 170 - 180 k thb.

honda cbr300r sure is better than it too.

So people are interested in a naked bike and you recommend a full faired bike?

New video released. According to this it will be 185,000 baht.

I agree March would be weird timing, unless they are getting everyone excited before they find out they can't actually get the bike for 6-8 months ala Triumph with their new pricing structure.

I still think a cbr1000f is most likely. An affordable Honda i4 litre bike would be huge in Thailand and elsewhere, maybe the 650 was the litmus test for Thai made inline 4's and I haven't heard of any major issues yet with the 650 (other than scaring young children )

If they do it, hope they fit USD forks and use the front end from the 500. That would be a very cool bike and I'd be very tempted to buy it as a touring bike.

And maybe they could reuse the MSX125 rear lamp like they did on the CB650...

I actually quite like that tail light. If they reuse the CBR150 forks again I'll be worried though

i changed it with motodynamic taillight as dont want people think like i am riding an msx:)

also motodynamic tailight looks better and it has flashing lights and integrated signals.

This taillight also fits the MSX and a lot of them riding around here have one.

Maybe you should change back to stock

Still hoping for a naked 800 or 1000 cc

They should bring something to compete with the Z800 or Z1000.

I wanna see something naked.

Where are the usual spyshots?

So why did you need 4 extra keys?

The price of the CB1100 will go down middle of the year.

Couldn't tell me how much it will drop.

Some more updates:

FZ-09 still without ABS, don't know if it will ever come to Thailand.

MT-07 will be released at the motorshow end of March, comes with ABS.

Price will be 300K baht up.

Ducati Monster 821 will be in Thailand around the middle of the year, price unknown.

Looks like a nice bike, now starting to see the R15's and they look nice in the flesh, If you had to choose between a cbr 150 or the R15 I would definitely choose the R15.

About he Introduction at C.I.C Buriram,7 February is the chance to see the R3 and Valentino himself!
