CLW Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 98,000 baht for a 150cc !!! how much was the Suzuki ? cheaper I hope [emoji848] Having said that I go to the Uk Yamaha site and they have closest equivalent MT 125 ( not 150) for an astounding £4,299.00 !!!!!! now that is a rip offf !!!!! https://www.yamaha-motor.eu/gb/en/products/motorcycles/hyper-naked/mt-125/ MT-125 At Yamaha we're famous for creating game-changing models that take motorcycling in a whole new direction - and the MT-125 A with ABS is ready to fire the imagination of younger riders looking for a new experience. From £4,299.00 Agree. Generally the Yamaha MT series has a too high pricing. Only advantage they have is the two cylinder engine on the MT-03.Suzuki sales staff at the show couldn't give me a price. The seat was comfortable and also good for the 2nd rider which most of the smaller bikes don't have.Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw this ad on the telly last night. Impressive stuff for the kids. Yamaha are really knocking it out the park the last few years. The MT07 / MT09 and all their derivatives (XSR-Tracer) outsell every other Jap bike in their class comfortably in Europe and the UK, possibly the US too. Here the M-Slaz i see in a ratio of 30:1 compared to the boring Honda or Chinese competition. Yamaha are the only Jap company competing with the Europeans in that Hipster market for retro, scrambler, cafe, and they are the only new bike manufacturer from Japan that has street cred with that market. Honda? You are having a laugh. Never did appeal to teenagers. Kudos Yamaha. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agusts Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 GPX should really start putting ABS on it's bikes too, at least on front wheel, wouldn't dual break disks up front simply mean more power for locking up the front wheel and flying up in the air or sliding on your ass more often...!? lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honda PCX Hybrid / Yamaha Grand Filano Hybrid Never ridden it, but this has partially to do with my lost interest after i learned what "hybrid" means regarding these bikes: When accelerating the electric motor gives a slight boost, but only for a few seconds (maybe 5 seconds, forgot the exact number) maximum at a time. The bikes can not drive with just the electric motor, the engine is always running when you are driving. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess it also doesn't contribute much to fuel savings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinnock Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Not new to market, as I think it's been out a few months, but I saw it for the first time yesterday. The Ryuka Retro RK100. It's a small bike, but if viewed as a very cheap alternative to the Honda Monkey, it may be worth a look. Also as an unusual alternative to a used scooter? It's like a new Honda S90 or CL90, and they used to be popular until the 2 strokes arrived. 29,000 THB. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinnock Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Chatting to my local Honda dealer today - he'd just been to the Dealer's launch of the Honda ADV 150. Should be in shops starting 28th - red, black and brown colors, ABS front and rear. He mentioned that the seat is quite high compared to the PCX - which is good news for us. 100,000 THB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw some YouTube videos, it has manual gear with clutch??? Sounds like fun with a 100cc engine Maybe an alternative to all scooters with semi or full automatic.Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But smaller rear wheel. Reviews also mention wider and higher bars. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agusts Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 (edited) I think they have a special launch offer of 95,900 baht... I wonder if this gives a smoother ride than PCX on the highway, I doubt it, probably stiffer shocks, better for off road...! If they had put even 10cc more on this bike's engine they could have cleaned up the scooter market, as it is now it's just another Aerox with smaller tires... , okay, maybe a windshield extra...????

Not economical or resulting in an attractive price for the buyer.Yamaha puts its new 155cc VVA engine in all their small motorbikes and scooters. Should be around at least 5 models.

Kinnock Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 The ADV 150 launch event at Bangkok Central World was on for a second day, so had a chance to sit on one today. It looks and feels bigger than a PCX - because it's a bit taller and had higher/wider bars. I'm 6 ft tall, but my legs were comfortable. The LED running lights look good, and the digital dash is nice. 95,900 launch price. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramen087 Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 I’ve been looking on websites and in the forum, and even at a dealer or two. I’m trying to find a scooter with a 125cc engine, or smaller, in a new model that also has an anti-lock braking system. I believe there is one or two models with ABS at 150 or 155cc. Is there any smaller scooter with ABS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SooKee Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Quite interested in getting a Grand Filano as change from my 5 year old Click. want the ABS version but not keen on the two 2019/20 colour options, black or white, the two worst colours for showing dust and dirt. Will see what colour options they bring out for this year, assuming they'll do a 20/21 release. Did see a news article about a metallic 'Titan Blue' which looks nice if it makes it here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayFaye Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 I'm using a friends new Honda Click 150i, manual in Thai, no English manual I can find. Went to the dealer here in Koh Samui, guy spoke a little English, but even he could not explain the "Game Changer" fob and technology. If there is no backlash against this incredibly complex system I'll be shocked, but I guess people who think it's fine that smartphones have no SD reader or headphone jack just stay quiet. Who needs 95% of what tech Honda thinks we need? Now, you kids get off my lawn and SLOW DOWN! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A dirty white car still looks white. Black is the worst and then anything matte.... BTW. Yamaha still have some 2019 colours available.
