Does anyone know how and whete I can Pre ordet a Yamaha V Star 205 here in Thailand? Any help would be appreciated

Moving to the Motorcycles in Thailand forum.

Thank you.

What does Yamaha Thailand say ?

OK, now I'm interested.

Interesting bike.  Would be nice if they bumped it up to 350-400 cc. 

As usual - never an answer after posing the question ...

Yamaha Thailand does not show this model on their website

I am interested in this bike too. Unfortunately it appears that it is not available now in Thailand.

Interesting? Back in the day they used to have a 180cc V twin in Singapore.

"Coming soon" 55  https://fasterwheeler.com/th/bikes/yamaha-2022-v-star-250-648

 

 

That's good news! Hope it actually happens. This is exactly what I was hoping to find to replace my aging (but much loved) Phantom. I don't want anything bigger and I hate riding scooters.

The Yamaha Thailand site doesn't list any 2022 models yet that I can see. 

Wow it has carburetor, not many new bikes with that anymore.

 

Looks comfortable, a good little run about bike, likely.

 

Personally not for me but each to their own.

Looked around - can't find any info on how it makes the grade with a carb, unless it is jetted very lean

If that's the case you better not flog it going over a high mountain????

 

I prefer EFI, hassle free and fewer and fewer can adjust carburetors.

Does anyone have any other information that this bike is ACTUALLY coming to Thailand in 2022? The link cited above is the only thing I could find online about this and that website listed no sources and admitted there was no official info from Yamaha. I would not get hopes up just yet.

The web site cited above now says "available".  The page was last updated on the 22nd. 

These bikes are not currently "available" anywhere in Thailand. Other than that single website (from the US) there has been no mention anywhere else that these bikes will be "available" in 2022. The official Yamaha.thailand sites do not mention it.

A carb jetted for lower altitude will run richer at high altitude.

Yes you are indeed right.

 

Quote: At high elevations, an engine's performance will decrease, and fuel consumption will increase due to the air being less dense. ... When the carburetor is modified for high elevation operation, the air-fuel mixture will be too lean for low elevation use.

 

Anyway, I doubt it will be a problem in Thailand, Nepal or Northern India is a different matter.

0-100 in 7.6 kilometers,

My first guess would be contact any Yamaha dealership here in Thailand and ask them.

Is the new V-Star coming here in 2022?

 

Yes.

 

Great. At the beginning or end of the year?

 

 

Yes.

Doi Inthanon.

Flog away McDuff.

But yeah, 'eff eye'  better,

bigly.

Performance, maintenance, economy, reliability, emissions.  

Yet 7 of 9 of papa's, be carb.

... Old school, old fool..

Again, there is no actual confirmation that this bike is coming to Thailand in 2022. Yamaha Thailand has said nothing (and their websites contain various announcements of what will be on offer in 2022).

Lifan Thailand are still showing their copy of the Yamaha V250 on their website:

 

 

They also show a custom version of the V250 which looks quite interesting:

It may have a simple ICU that control the fuel pump. 

It can easily be adjusted if you stay up in the mountains.
