Motor Expo 2017 (Bikes only photos)

[BBJ]

Children display their art in the press hall.  Budding designers perhaps!

 

A little bling!

 

 

Benelli has a full display, including their adventure bike.  A sheep in wolves clothing perhaps!

 

 

 

[BBJ]

GPX, an entry level bike?

 

 

Harley.  Not my cup of tea, but eye candy nevertheless.

 

 

 

[BBJ]

Kawasaki has a decent rage including some cafe racers.

Nice photos, thanks

[eisfeld]

Thanks a lot for these pictures BBJ! I hope to find some time to go there myself. Any pics from the BMW booth? Wondering if they finally have the updated S1000R.

[MrJ]

1.6 M for a FAT Boy lol

[papa al]

That is less than $50,000.

...heard chicks dig 'em...dunno...

[Damrongsak]

What's with the Benelli banana-nose bike?  The pointy headlight housing has to come out all the way to the tip of the front tire?  But by law you have to tuck in passenger footpegs when not used?  <deleted>???

And why no photos of normal everyday bikes, i.e. scooters, maxi scooters as the vast majority of Expats ride this type of motorbike????

I do have photos of Maxi Scooters.  The photos were posted with the time I have.  I have two free press tickets if you want to go yourself!

I managed to get a snap of the GS Rally. BMW were still faffing around for the official public opening time.

Coz they’re boring, would you rather see a Nissan March or high end merc / porche ??

Great photos, hope to get there this weekend.

Thanks for the pics. That 2018 Fatboy looks awesome (not really into HD but credit where it's due) but 1,629,000 Baht?

 

They're about 650,000 in the US. That's crazy pricing.

Er, no, thank you.

Go visit your nearest scooter, moped dealer. There are a dozen in every market town and a hundred in every large city.

Therefore there are tens of thousands of the shops in the country.

And several million Waves, Fino's, Clicks et al on every road and street corner.

Why would I want to see another one, extra shiny under the bright lights?

[BBJ]

A scooter.

 

 

 

[BBJ]

Back to proper bikes.

 

A remortgage?

Now we're talkin'

Horrible.

Seems like Honda is not showing the CB1000R? What a bummer. Not sure if I'll go to the show. I had 3 things to look for: new S1000R, CB1000R and Accord 2018. Seems like none of these are there. Maybe at the Motor Show in march...

[JonnyF]

I was wondering if Honda will sell the CB1000R. If they do, they'll have to restrict it or it will be more powerful than the CBR1000RR SP that they currently sell which would be a bit embarrassing.

Should the CBR 1000 RR SP have almost 200 BHP , as the BMW , Aprilia , Ducati , Kawasaki etc  ?.

In Thailand it's crippled to 130 BHP and there's no known way (afaik) to de-restrict it. Same nonsense like they pulled with the previous model and have lost a nice chunk of sales to the competition accordingly. I guess the 1000cc supersport bike market is so small here that they don't care and I'm sure the bean counters at Honda found some reason why this would be the right thing to do even though everyone else would strongly disagree. It would be absolutely hilarious if what JonnyF said happened. There are already naked bikes available like the Monster 1200, S1000R, MT-10 etc which have a lot more BHP than the flagship Fireblade in Thailand but if Honda can beat itself, than that would be too funny. And if they'd restrict the CB1000R then I'm sure quite a few people would pass on it. I would probably, because I don't want to support such crap.

Liked the Africa Twin.. cheers mate.. happy holidays.

Why not ? If you ever rode a bike with 200 or more HP you would realize what a rush it is. Bring it on I say ...

[kelboy]

2 pages and no girls, shame on you all.

 I meant "shouldnt" it have the full power , in keeping with the others.  From a Aprilia RSV factory owner. Didnt Honda do this on some other bikes. Cant see the sense in it.

The Lifan KPT200

 

[JaiLai]

Dunno about anyone else that's visited but all the so called 'hotties' were a funny looking bunch, way too plastic, very bad look IMO.
