coobah666 Posted June 24, 2011 Posted June 24, 2011 wanting to buy a new 400cc cruiser Honda/Yamaha/not fussy
Richard-BKK Posted June 24, 2011 Posted June 24, 2011 You could call Lifan Thailand and ask them when they will introduce the Lifan LF400 in Thailand, a bike which will likely cost something like 120,000 to 130,000 THB on the road here. I expect that Lifan Thailand will not be able to answer your question, but still the more people ask for the LF400 the more Lifan Thailand will understand the demand. Other options are import a 400cc cruiser from Japan but that will likely resolve in a motorcycle more expensive that a new Kawasaki ER6N
thaicbr Posted June 24, 2011 Posted June 24, 2011 Hi May be have a look here LINK The OP is after a 'cruiser' or a chopper NOT an oversized scooter.
coobah666 Posted June 24, 2011 Author Posted June 24, 2011 SO ARE ALL THE 400CC CRUISER/CHOPPERS IMPORTED FROM JAPAN
thaicbr Posted June 24, 2011 Posted June 24, 2011 YEP.... How much money do you want to spend? (in thai baht)
RED21 Posted June 24, 2011 Posted June 24, 2011 I saw a couple of Honda Steeds for sale at the Honda dealership months ago, but someone told me they were refurbished not brand new.
katabeachbum Posted June 24, 2011 Posted June 24, 2011 SO ARE ALL THE 400CC CRUISER/CHOPPERS IMPORTED FROM JAPAN yepp, they are made to fit japanese tax and Insurance limit of 400cc. In most other markets yammy is 650 and honda 750
thaicbr Posted June 24, 2011 Posted June 24, 2011 SO ARE ALL THE 400CC CRUISER/CHOPPERS IMPORTED FROM JAPAN Kawasaki have a 900cc at 485,000b
katabeachbum Posted June 24, 2011 Posted June 24, 2011 SO ARE ALL THE 400CC CRUISER/CHOPPERS IMPORTED FROM JAPAN Kawasaki have a 900cc at 485,000b and there is Lifan 250 at 90k/ baht, which is actually a yammy 250 vstar copy. Inbetween all cruisers are grey imports at silly prices
PaulD Posted June 24, 2011 Posted June 24, 2011 SO ARE ALL THE 400CC CRUISER/CHOPPERS IMPORTED FROM JAPAN Kawasaki have a 900cc at 485,000b and there is Lifan 250 at 90k/ baht, which is actually a yammy 250 vstar copy. Inbetween all cruisers are grey imports at silly prices My Lifan 250 cruiser was 78K (this year) including green book, license, and basic insurance here in Chiang Mai, though I u'stand they cost 82 in other places. However, they only put out 18HP, which while better than a Phantom or Boss, is not a lot. Although Chinese, I've found no fault with mine so far. Goes an actual 120 (GPS and speedometer!) and that's it. Price is low in part because they are assembled here, avoiding many taxes. Low seat and center of gravity, nice second third and forth gears, 33k/l for me. There's a thread or two you can search.
BSJ Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 The Mityon shop at the Cnr of Pattaya Tai and 3rd Rd (Pattaya) have some.....Chinese looking (brand unknown to me), cruiserish type motorcycles with studded seats and leather panniers in the showroom. Seeing your not fussy, maybe you could make enquiries...........

Sorry, my memory failed me on Lifan price. 90k was the price for a Phantom 200 7 years ago Lifan 250 cruiser at 78k baht is simply great value for money
