Neilly Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 133K is a good price, especially since they don't clog the showrooms. Down here in Songkhla / Hat Yai they're 138K. I'm waiting for the M! Should be out next month. Boss lady in Honda tried saying that they weren't making the 'L' anymore...total cr4p...enjoy the the 'M' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I paid 130k incl. all papers, insurance and transportation to my place 35Km away from Bowin 5 month ago. I have seen ads with CRF priced at 125 900 baht just after i bought mine. There was an ad on here for 126k a few pages back...called them and they said all gone. I live on Samui and we do tend to have to take it dry here price-wise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mania Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 I always thought given the price & the suspension it was a pretty good deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilly Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 I always thought given the price & the suspension it was a pretty good deal. My arse was a bit numb...but that is just due to lack of bike time. I used to do some long distance road/trails stuff in UK, no prob many moons ago, so will just take a bit of time to get used to it again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taninthai Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 (edited) ^ standard sizes front 90/90-21. Rear 120/80-18 it's not to clever to throw anything bigger on these bikes otherwise the tyre is to close to the plastic mud guard thing that protects the shock then all the mud and <deleted> gets all clogged up in there Funny how on the tyre wall it says for u.s. Only I didn't know they make tires for specific country's use only Edited March 11, 2013 by taninthai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuckamuck Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Take it easy for a while on pavement, especially on downhill corners, you will have to adjust to less traction. I had quite a few close calls when I switched to full knobbies. You will have a blast on the hill climbs though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taninthai Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 ^ yeah 3 months ago I bought a cheap set of full on motox tyres(Thai brand) ,anyway been so busy with work don't have time to go off road so for the last 3 months been using the bike for a run around on concrete only ,what a nightmare the full motox tyres are on the road hit 80 km/r and the front starts shaking it's head violently,these pirelli are designed for 70% off road 30% on road so a little improvement for me on the concrete between trails but yes thou have to be careful and aware that you are using knobbies on the concrete and then if it starts raining even more dangerous.

Have you tried them in deep soft sand yet? /T Nope just got the front one fitted yesterday not doing any off roaring for a week or so,soft deep sand is probably one of the hardest terrains to ride in and no matter what tyres you have it will be more about rider skill and technic you need to keep the power on and keep the front as light as possible which isn't to easy with the CRf.

Sure it is much about skills, but different tires will behave differently, I don't believe that front tires different designs are just made for marketing reasons?. I can be wrong though.

Yep that's the size I have ,delivery was same for me went to the depot in the town 15 k from me,I believe Charlie imports all the pirelli tyres for Thailand so your man in pattaya has probably got the tyre from them I'd go down have a friendly chat with your man and ask for little discount 2,500 bht would be ok.Oh and I payed 50 bht to have the tyre fitted.

taninthai Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Yeah in a way I wish I'd bought a 2nd hand bike then the sand and salt wouldn't bother me as much but I don't want to destroy a new bike I've seen what the sand and salt does to our Honda click that goes up and down the beach everyday for 5 years its not a pretty sight. Anyway only 6-8 weeks left at this location then time to move on ,one plus is the new place we move to should have road access soooooo I can get a road bike aswell ...........
