Big Bikes In Thailand

[12DrinkMore]

Hi,

Is there a law against manufacturers building and selling big bikes in Thailand? Apart from hugely overtaxed imports/illegal imports the biggest available is the Honda Phantom, 200 cc, max speed 110 kms/hour, an acceleration that can be beaten by almost every four wheeled vehicle and a sitting position for Thai size riders.

If Honda, Yamaha or Kawasaki came out with a 600cc chopper made and sold in Thailand for 2-300,000 they would clean up the market in a flash.

The only reason I can think of is the wealthy Benz owners who make the laws don't want to be overtaken on the motorways.

...and decimate the population of under 25's at a stroke.

It would mostly be the male macho types, so no probs.

I reckon if you treat 'em like kids, then they'll behave like kids. Maybe if the powers in the land started treating the population like adults, we might see more adult and responsible behaviour.
