Ducati 1100 Scrambler at Motor Show today:

Here it is with some weird guy sitting on it:

฿599,000

[Issanman]

New model Yamaha Lexi 125. I asked the price and they said the price is not yet known. Looked like a nice addition to the 125 automatic class.

[Issanman]

The Honda Monkey Bike is back as a 125. It's also a bigger frame size than the original. About ฿85000.

Nice to see a Honda made monkey for change, and with USD forks also.

I saw one on the 107 in Chiang Mai a few days ago.  Very nice looking bike and at that price quite reasonable.

 

Sure to give the 300 Versys a run for its money!

Saw one in the flesh recently, not too shabby for a transformer bike. Spoke to the Thai owner (who still has his CRF Rally) and he's well pleased. It handles a 130kmph cruising speed keeping up with his Thai mates on bigger bikes. Quite impressive for the money.

The stock new Cubs are very pretty, but more money than the Dreams. Just the Big H ripping punters off as per. These new "custom Cubs" @ 89k is just a ludicrous price. Honda price gouging...

Nice, and air cooled, better still. A much bigger bike than the small 800's, positive reviews too. I quite like it...

I quite like the look of the new Honda CB150 R

[CMKiwi]

I have a Fijian friend who was over from Australia a few weeks back.

 

 His Thai girlfriend bought him a new CB150R for his birthday (Although he is the one paying it off!).  Its a nice enough looking bike but as  Fijian he is just too big for it.

 

He looks like a gorilla in a circus act and the helmet he has got is way to small. Quite comical to watch actually.

 

To me this bike looks like a pregnant MSX. Honda seems to do that a lot. PCX and Forza being the other paring.

Yamaha Lexi 125cc scooter, another flat foot-floor same same bike , there are so many of these, all the same design and look, they just want to confuse the customers, making them think they are getting something special.... !

 

Although if I am not mistaken it says VVA and 4 valves on this one (probably copied from 155cc of Aerox and Nmax), so it should have some more Oomf than the regular 125 affair....

Wow!  Sweet looking bike for a 125 screamer.  Hate to imagine the Thai price tag....even worse to see some idiot kid on one.

 

They would be sure to beat every red light.

 

But it's still a nice looking road bike.

[Agusts]

Not a new bike but Yamaha Tricity model 2018 now comes with VVA 155cc engine (probably same engine as Nmax and Aerox). That gives it some more power but is still a lot heavier than those, due to the 2 wheels up front. I never ridden one but I wondered if it is that much safer on the corners and on the wet and helping the rider not to fall easily, specially locking front break etc.... !? Don't see any other advantages.....

Ran into a German with one of these.  Says the vibration is severe.

Ohh well it looks ok but needs a twin/triple 500cc engine.[emoji123]

Fatter tires too, same engine as PCX, they reckon it will be around 60k baht, so a bit more competition in 150cc scooter range, this one with flat floor/foot board, but only one shock in the back (I am guessing). Lighter than others, so should be nippy ... !

Vibration has many causes. Would not condemn a model just because one person says it vibrates a lot. Or one example of the model vibrates a lot.

Many say the CRF vibrates a lot too ... mine does not

The spec says the engine has quite a high compression ratio maybe some low octane fuel was causing "knocking" ?

I don't see the Scrambler 400 listed. I wonder if that model is still available?
