angryfarang Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Just dropped in to the local Honda dealer here on Samui to ask about the price of the CBR250 ABS. New price they told me - 140,000 Baht. Is this right? I'm looking for a run around until I can get the 975 in June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SumetCycle Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 That sounds a bit high to me. If you look around, some dealers have them for as low as 115/120K. Perhaps you should try some dealers on the mainland. You can also find good second hand ones for around 80k. Did they offer any extras with that price? Best of luck.

angryfarang Posted February 28, 2012 Author Share Posted February 28, 2012 I thought they went for around 120k. I guess this is Samui and I believe there's a shortage of them at the moment due to the floods. I'll use my girl's scooter for now and look out for a second hand one. No extras for 140k. I should get my girl to call to ask in Thai about the price, it would probably be 120k for her... lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaicbr Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 samui is notorious for overcharging. get the Gf to call the surat thani dealer. and just ride it over on the ferry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guzzi850m2 Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Sorry guys, it's already gone. I will assume you got it, congts. on that, very cheap, you saved a lot of money compared to a new. I know its none of my business but why a bike like that on Samui? An Auto will do just fine on the Island in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angryfarang Posted February 29, 2012 Author Share Posted February 29, 2012 I hate scooters, they feel like toys. I like a proper bike with gears. 250 is a perfect size for Samui. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow - is that the going rate? That's an absolute steal. I'm all heart . I think the price is right for me to sell quickly, like within an hour lol. I certainly didn't pay top price for it, actually bought at Honda RRP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
