LivinLOS Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 (edited) I cant have 'one' dream bike.. Some days you want a super duke.. Other days you want a duci (in fact many.. From the monsters to the hypermotards to the desmosidici).. some days you want etc etc etc.. If I had to pick one bike, to actually buy and own in Thailand, for the conditions and to not be a hassle in parts and service.. The Triumph speed triple R.. Almost shipped one a month or two back but held off.. If it was without any consideration for fixing it but still for Thai roads ?? The Duci hyper motard, monster, or aprilla shiver is pretty dam_n nice. Faired bikes dont bite me somehow..

hanno Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Hanno i know some one in Vietnam that rides a CBR250. so it is possible Sure it is possible, my current bike is a Suzuki DR 250 and I have had a 400cc in the past. I have blue (police) license plates and the cops haven't stopped me so far. However, the bike is still not legal and if I am ever involved in an accident, I might be in big doo-doo.

Nigelmartin Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 For me the perfect bike is the one I already have a Triumph Street Triple - light weight, fast enough up to 160kms. Parts I can get in Chiang Mai or when friends come from the UK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevehaigh Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 that Harley night-rod looks freekin' awesome! i've always like the Yamaha v-max, similar look Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2oDunc Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 (edited) Already have her. She gives me the most smiles per mile from any bike I've ever had and that's a lot. The perfect bike for cruising round this beautiful country. Speed when you want it and oodles and oodles of lovely torque at the beck and call of your right wrist. You can also throw it round the twistys as well considering her size. 2 up with luggage and at 110 kph its doing around 2300 rpm. 150 kph and she's at 3000 rpm. The other great thing is in all my travels around Thailand I've yet to see another. Wherever I go it gets lots of admiring glances especially from the Thais who find it hard to beieve anybody wuld put a 2.3 litre engine in a bike Edited January 15, 2009 by H2oDunc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Netfan Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Owning a Duc I guess I'm partial....the Desmo is nice, but I'd go with the Ducati/NCR New Blue- 1100cc, zard exhaust, carbon wheels, titanium goodies brings it in at about 165 kilos, with 90+hp. somewhere around $50K US i believe. God only knows what it would be to get one here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimsKnight Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 At the moment mine is the one I own right now, the CBR 400. In the future maybe a Triumph or the CBR Fireblade (900).

LivinLOS Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 At the moment mine is the one I own right now, the CBR 400. Think thats a tri-Arm ?? Had the Gull arm model for a year or two.. Was a bulletproof engine and that gear valvetrain was a great design.. Coming round to the Honda reliability mindset given my recent experiences !!

dotcom Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 CBR400RR uses convential swingarm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LivinLOS Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 CBR400RR uses convential swingarm. Sure but the model iterations are described by the swing arm designs.. NC23 Tri Arm NC29 Gull arm NC30 (VFR400RR, prev editions were IIRC 21 and 24) SSSA Great machines all of them, tho the low bars and my size on the frame makes them feel a bit small and perched on top of kind of feeling.. The NC29 I had really handled and was a howler !! I think the VFR had a bit more torque and mid end grunt but as the models I rode were all older Thai maintained ones that might not be fair..
