VocalNeal Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 If translated to English Vespa and Harley are described as Camp Bikes. I always had my suspicions. BBB, Are you buying? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saorsa Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 (edited) I'm planning on going Friday since the weekend will be too crowded (plus I want to go play on my own bike saturday). Anyone else going Friday? Edited January 25, 2011 by saorsa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LivinLOS Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Any word on this tiger 250cc retro thing ?? Was some murmur they would announce at the show ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaicbr Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 The Tiger is going to be at the Motorshow in March. I think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonkind Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Went there yesterday but did not see the tiger stand, the layout is a bit staggered over the different floors so may have missed it. Besides that I am glad I went, Yamaha has a promo on the FZ1 where they pay half the deposit(95k) or just simply give you 95k off the 620000 list price ,after a bit of haggling he would include the "naked" light at no extra cost . Was so impressed that I cancelled my order for a versys this morning and filling in the paperwork for the FZ1 now. Another think I noted was that Nolan helmets seemed reasonably priced from Dirtbikeshop, about 8-15k. Missus gave me a foul look when I said I just wanted to find a slip on for the Versys and we ended up walking out with a new bike and all the riding gear I could ever want Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScubaBuddha Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Is anyone else seeing the huge empty white space under the text and above the picture? I've been seeing this on TV more and more. The Bangkok Motorbike Festival starts tomorrow! Official site: http://www.thailandm...om/bkk/home.php See you there!!! I look forward to you many pics!! I can't decide which girl in that banner is hottest! ...I said I just wanted to find a slip on for the Versys... If you need a slip on for the Versys, ER6n, or Ninja 650R you can contact BigBikeBKK or myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

floridaguy Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Is Kawasaki really not exhibiting? I don't see them on the exhibitors list. I was there tonight. No Kawasaki. The bikes are mostly sport type bikes. The only non sport bikes I saw was a couple of Harley areas, and the scooters. No Honda cruisers, no custom cruisers/choppers. Did I miss something? Last years show was much better, more variety. There were some really cool old classic bikes, side car bikes, old police bikes. This year, sports and Harleys.

I find that rather hard to believe... Perhaps it's a 2009 model that they are trying to get rid of? Normal price is 650k Baht: 650,000 baht 650,000 baht Edited January 28, 2011 by BigBikeBKK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only looked quickly though. Ah, a track bike then. Impossible to judge the value without seeing it; it may be loaded with goodies that justify the price. A '04-05 ZX10R in good nick can still win races! With a legal book they go for 400k or more. Without a book the price should be very negotiable :jap: Ride On!

Normal price is 650k Baht: 650,000 baht 650,000 baht The 95k off is a special until the end of this month, the deal is on the board by the yamaha stand, basically Yamaha will pay half the 30% deposit(95k). The sales guy(who speaks very good english) said if you buy cash they would give you the 95k off as well. Pretty sure it is a 2010 model as they have it only in red and black.

Newguy70 Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Hi Guys, The show did seem a bit smaller this year, not sure why. I didn't really run across anything that stood out gear wise. I am looking for a damper, it seems that one of the vendors outside on the left was selling what looked to be older Ohlins steering dampers, however he wanted 19,300 BHT. I am looking for a damper for my ninja 250. Anyone seen anything at a reasonable price (under $300). Why is this event not held at the track? :jap: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBikeBKK Posted January 29, 2011 Author Share Posted January 29, 2011 Spent an enjoyable afternoon at the 2011 Bangkok Motorbike Festival. While it's smaller than last years event, there's still a lot to see! Yamaha- HD- K-Speed Another HD- Ducati- That multistrada is so sexy it deserves two pics! R1 with "interesting" custom paint.... (Wonder if they did that in Thailand?) Looks like a proper supersport, doesn't it??? Can you guess what it is??? Stretch 'Busa... So ugly it almost looks good... Ride On!
