Pattaya sees rise in independent Chinese tourists amid decline in group tours

[johnefallis]

Hey everyone, I'm looking for dealers that sell the Honda CBR 150 in and around Bangkok. Any other information about the bike you can provide would be appreciated too.

Thanks,

John

I think you shouldn't be driving motorcycles if your brain doesn't work properly ..... Kudos to the mod for moving it to the right forum.

Riiiiight, because nobody except those surfing in the bikes forum would know where there is a Honda dealer...

...and as opposed to everyone else riding motorcycles in Thailand who have brains that are working properly???

Me and MY malfunctioning brain... ; )

??? TiT, haha

If BKK is like Chiang Mai, it has huge Honda bike dealerships that are familiar with CBR150 and might have one in stock. Not like the tiny corner franchises.

Everything you would want to know about the bike may be found here in this forum

World Speed , Srinakarin road, 350 meters from the Ramkhamhaeng intersection, going away from Bangkapi, but has a long 'que' for service.

For fast service, the dealer on Pattanakarn, close to the intersection with a tunnel cutting through to Ramkhamhaeng 24 is fast regrding service, they changed my sparkplug for free, i brought the plug.

Both locations have CBR's in stock, the Pattanakarn one has two black ones in stock right now, other one has about 2-3 different colors.

Both locations were polite.

Got mine from a Honda dealer beside MBK. They didn't have any stock at the time but got the color I wanted by that evening. I went by there recently and they had 2-3 on the floor.

Thanks all. I'll go check them out when I get back from my visa run.

any news if there will be a new design for the CBR 150 this year?

[PeaceBlondie]

Doubtful, but hope springs eternal. Methinks they neglected the updates in preparation for the bigger bikes they hoped to import. Those plans are now on hold. Until now, the CBR150R has been the Corvette of the Honda line in Thailand, as silly as that sounds. I always wished for a fuel injected CBR175RRi

I hope we wouldn't be waiting eternally though...it sure is nice to have a new design (not just decals) for the CBR150. Somewhere in the likes of the 125 would be welcome, an EFI, gear indicator (or is it just me?). Come to think of it, i'm wondering if the headlight assembly and front cowlings of the 125 will be plug and play on the 150?

[PeaceBlondie]

Yes, a gear indicator. Suzuki nearly had them stock on all their street bikes for decades. Am I in 6th? Let me try 7th... Even my Nicaraguan bootleg XT200 had a fairly innocuous high gear light that announced 6th.
