ScubaBuddha Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 (edited) Thanks for the pics mbox. I can tell you like the little bikes huh? I see the Z1000 but no Z100zx/Ninja 1000. . Edited March 23, 2011 by ScubaBuddha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScubaBuddha, actually i like Big Bikes more :-) but i feel the most movement in terms of new Bikes is amongst the small Bikes. The Z 1000 was there but no ninja 1000 . Yesterday there was still some stands doing rehearsals and arrange things...not quite ready yet. Stallion still had their bikes covered and thus why no pics from them. Haven't seen Lifan, Zongshen /Ryuka or Triumph yesterday . mbox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CMX Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Any idea if that Boxer 250 EFI is a prototype or is going into production? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbox Posted March 24, 2011 Author Share Posted March 24, 2011 Any idea if that Boxer 250 EFI is a prototype or is going into production? Boxer 250 RS EFI will be available from May onwards....the one shown is with a yoshi and special paint-that will be an later special edition ...but the "standar"d Boxer 250RS EFI with now adjustable front shocks and Gazi Rearshocks as from May mbox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RED21 Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Boxer 250 EFI = nice Upon closer inspection: Rear not monoshock design = not nice Old style console = not nice Yoshimura pipes = nice I hope it's still a prototype and the release model will have more improvements.

Hmm, the Boxer 250 never had a monoshock , always had this console , and yoshimura muffler maybe later on a special edition..... mbox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RED21 Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Yeah, I was just hoping they'd do some radical redesigning on the new model... aside from the EFI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbox Posted March 24, 2011 Author Share Posted March 24, 2011 Yeah, I was just hoping they'd do some radical redesigning on the new model... aside from the EFI. Nope, a re-design was not planned ...it was an technical update for efi, adjustable usd frontshocks and different rear shocks. mbox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnyF Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Thanks for the pics. Anyone know what that Honda Dax looking thing is? It's got BigBull written on the case which I assume is the manufacturer but I've never heard of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know the Big Bull Bikes prices as yet....not aware of any special Show-prices either. I quite like the classic look of Tiger Retro Sport which will be priced @ appr 36000 thb . mbox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mezcal Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 I like the classic too...and 36000 is a really interesting price! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
submaniac Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 +1 on the tiger retro sport. Love it! Question though, I notice the kickstarter. Will it be kickstart only will it be available with an electric start? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderpuff Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 So you went to Impact. Was there a Motor Show there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaiChai Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 The Sym Wolf 125/150 Clssic look interesting, but the engines look really dated Japanese copies, and you just cannot compare against the Honda CBR150/250 in terms of engine technology. The Hondas look very good value in comparison? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cm das Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 I'm another who likes the retro sport, but I'd like it a lot more if it had a 200 or 250 engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard-BKK Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 I hope that Tiger Motor also keeps the carburetor version of the Boxer 250 RS available, as it has no problems to meet the exhaust emission rules, and sometimes simplicity can be positive. For example, for the average rural service center it would harder to do a “quick and cheap” repair on a EFI system. I can understand that Tiger did start using a EFI system for the Boxer 250 RS, but, if we really honest an EFI system doesn't bring that much advantages if we look at the added cost. Yes, using a EFI will give better fuel efficiency, but the Tiger Boxer 250 RS, with its low-revving engine, was already very efficient with its fuel consumption. I'm wondering if the electronics controlling the fuel-injection system (ECU) is also controlling the ignition, as I see in the specs that the ignition is still a magneto-CDI? Also, a small detail, the location of the exhaust sensor is in direct path of everything the front wheel is launching in the air – this can maybe a source for sensor failure... @ Mbox – Do you already know something about the price of the Tiger Retro Sport... it looks extremely nice... it has something of a Royal-Enfield design.

Hi Richard, As far as i know the carbed Boxer version will still be available . Not sure about the ECU & ignition, i am pretty sure Tiger Motors will update me on the specs in the next days. The Tiger Retro Sport will sell for 36000 thb. I love that design too...but now that you mentioned it, you right it has a little royal enfield touch in it. mbox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will it be kickstart only will it be available with an electric start? Hi Submaniac , it has both e-starter and kickstarter , just like the Retro 110C ( cub-version) The Retro Sport has a manual clutch ( actually it is something called "easy clutch") 4 gears, runs on benzene , e10 & e20 mbox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbox Posted March 25, 2011 Author Share Posted March 25, 2011 So you went to Impact. Was there a Motor Show there? Motorshow starts officially today. 25th March 23 March was VIP Day (more a rehearsal day i'd say) 24 March was Press Day I was there on 23 March at noon for a few hours ....still some arranging and building going on... some stands had their bike still covered ( stallion for instance) other manufacturer i didn't see at all ...Lifan, Zongshen/Ryuka, Ducati, Triumph ...maybe they come later? I was also told that Honda was not ready with their stand ...so the pics i made was from that moment and you may see more today the 25th March mbox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
