RR is a race ready bike.

not for pussies

nor cheap charlies.

 

I agree. 

There is not a price for a 250 and then a higher price for a 400 and even higher for 1000cc.

It all depends on the details of the bike.

You pay more for a good suspension, brakes, light and many other parts independent of the engine size.

Speed kills everyone know that, particularly youngish farang die on sportsbikes every week, you know 50+ year olds having a mid life crisis going too fast, probably like you

But if you want go fast, then better do it on a bike with great handling and brakes and not some "fast" scooter.

I wouldn't bother, almost every week someone dies in Pattaya riding those sports bikes 

About 60 people die in total everyday (over 20,0000 per year) on motorcycles throughout Thailand. 
 

Just last night I had a guy coming at me on his motorbike while I was driving along the same road as him. But he was driving in the wrong direction down a large, 4-lane wide, one-way city street. No helmet on him, he was also looking down at his phone, and it was dark/nighttime. Darwinism.

Yeah damn exxy.

 

What about the 300R @ Bt.151k ?

Single cylinder I believe and only about 25HP. Not enough power really.

Do you want the hunched over seating position?

No, I much prefer a sport-touring riding position.

Pricey for an uncomfortable 250, and the sports bike position is not good for visibility in traffic.  I'd rather have a 400cc Triumph for less money and with more comfort.
