BBJ Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damrongsak Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 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>??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idman Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 And why no photos of normal everyday bikes, i.e. scooters, maxi scooters as the vast majority of Expats ride this type of motorbike???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonnyF Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eisfeld Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnyF Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 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 ?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Bring it on I say ... 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.
