I saw a review of a 150cc scooter on Motorcycles In Thailand website. Interesting as it has BIG wheels, it's automatic, and it has a 150cc engine. Anyone know anything about this, and when it might show up in Thailand? Here is the website from Suzuki:

Suzuki Thailand (SPSuzuki) is thinking of importing the Sixteen into Thailand. On the http://www.spsuzuki.com website you can select which Suzuki you want SPSuzuki to import into Thailand.

The first impression can be found here Suzuki Sixteen 150

I was shown a new model Suzuki HAYATE 125 yesterday in dealer opposite TukCom, corner of Soi Beakow and Tai, Pattaya.

Its 125cc SOHC, fully auto, fuel injected,discs front and rear,1935 wheelbase.

It looked good.Cheap too at 46k or 49k for fancy wheels.

Is this the Suzuki Sixteen 125/150 you are referring to?

I wonder how it drives. Has anyone driven one yet?

Nope. I know nothing other than what I've read here about the Suzuki 16. But I do have the old model 115 cc. Nouvo and a fellow condo owner here recently bought the Suzuki 125 Hayake (am I spelling this correctly). Wheel base, basic design, tire size, etc are all the same as the Yamaha Nouvo 115. But after driving the Suzuki I could see no power difference whatsoever whereas I most definitely could see the difference between the Nouvo 115 and the new Nouvo 135. In fact the 115 Nouvo and the Suzuki Hayake are dead ringers for each other. I do find my particular Nouvo to feel a tad better in the handling department as it had just the slightest refinement in feel. But then again, my 115 c.c. Nouvo feels just a little better handling wise than its replacement the 135 cc. model. Mine is so superbly balanced I can drive it no hands (not a recommended practice) and watched a friend of mine do it on Ko Larn Island with a rented Nouvo. I have found the new 135 cc. Nouvo to be much more difficult to drive no hands and the same to be true with the Air Blade. But from what I see here about the Suzuki 16 it's a truly revolutionary machine that offers the same horsepower of the Honda Phantom which is 200 CC's (around 17 horsepower) and the lighter and more sporty CBR 150.
