BigBikeBKK Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 (edited) Since this bike it appears is not for sale, if anyone is looking for a 2012 Z1000 there is a BRAND NEW one sitting in Pattaya Kawasaki. Why buy used for a few baht less when you can have NEW and all the warrantee for yourself - cost is 580,000.00 baht. There is also a NEW 2012 Versys, Yellow and Black color combination, 285,000.00 baht. Seems those two types of bikes are hard to find brand new at a dealer so get them while you can if your cashed up. I just rode from Chiangmai to Phitsanulok via Tak, yesterday -- 460 kilometers, rain all the way. Not fun, but if you're gonna ride, sometimes you're gonna get wet. I agree ,if youre afraid to get wet ,you should have bought a car or took the bus i ride in every type of weather <snip> I've ridden with TongueTied, he's an experienced biker, <snip> and I'm willing to bet he rides more kilometers in a month that you do in a year.

karlos Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 While your bike is very nice, and yes I do like that model. There are lots of options for naked sportsbikes now. What sets your z1000 apart from the many other Japanese and European nakeds and streefighters? There might be better bikes, but I have the Z so it is the best in my opinion!! I hope they bring out the ZX 14 next here would love one of those Monsters. You had me thinking for a moment there, i thought i had missed something in Kawasaki's line up, ZZR check! ZX14....... After a quick google i now understand North America refers to the ZZR1400 as the ZX14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that price includes green book it's a great price, if no green book that will cost you between 80k and 100k, plus who would service it, Kawasaki would not as the mechanics would not have been trained!! someone will know the truth, a few yrs back I enquired about an import and was told the price is so and so with 80k on top for registration!! Whats happened to these pages, why are they so wide, bloody annoying!!! grrrr Edited May 7, 2012 by kawapower Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My next bike will be from these guys, I just missed out on the 08 yellow/black CBR1000 they had in - someone put a deposit down on it the day before I viewed it - lovely bike.

SumetCycle Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 If you buy a used bike the green book will be included in the price. However, I've heard that if you buy new, you are on the hook for emission testing and the green book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kawapower Posted May 7, 2012 Author Share Posted May 7, 2012 So the ZX 14 from Red Baron is a used bike? if you live in Bangkok it's fine but if you live elsewhere who will maintain it? I will definately be interested in a new one if Kawasaki start to stock them next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would guess 2012 KAWAZAKI ZX14R means brand new, I live nearly 4 hours from Bangkok but still bought my bike there due to there reputation as being one of the best in Thailand which I'm sure would be backed up by majority of members.

karlos Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 The new GSXR600 they had passed all it's emissions, they even told me they can't sell it to me when i was dreaming of owning it due to it not having the relevant papers and green book, as soon as it had the book and papers it sold quickly. Also all of their other NEW bikes i have enquired about have all had greenbooks included in the price. It was reassuring to be told about the GSXR600, the fact they couldn't sell it confirms that they follow the correct procedures for these full powered imported bikes.
