Familyonthemove Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 ^ Guess its a real photo, maybe even an official Honda photo. Not sure if Photoshop or not, but its showing the originalHonda CB500X Accessories Ah, yes ... I'd not seen that site. With full luggage, centre stand, crash bar, hand guards and dual purpose tyres - you'd get a nice middle-weight adventure bike - for much less than the the cost of a BMW 650 GS single in Thailand.

karlos Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 tried a month ago but they say it is not officially released yet! But, why not, i try again one more time tomorrow.

cbrer Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Best trying that at a Big Wing. As regular dealers almost certainly aren't going to be selling them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drift Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Best trying that at a Big Wing. As regular dealers almost certainly aren't going to be selling them.

taninthai Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Yep I reckon if your friendly with your local dealer you can get your name down now, today November 20 I reckon these bikes are gonna appear just before or right after new year so your only talking 5-7 weeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks man. I tried it before though but did not work at bigwing still yours was a wake up call! Went to bigwing today. Talked with one staff there. It was a different staff from my previous visit a month and half ago. He told me that they will definitely start to book the bikes at the motor show starting from 29th of November. He told me that they will start to hand bikes for the first customers a couple of days after motorshow like 11th or 12th of December:D He also told me that it will only be sold in bigwings and nowhere else. But i think maybe after some time they might accept some big volume seller big dealers to sell some as it will take time for them to reach all over thailand as bigwing but who knows Honda? After a long talk he let me write my name on a list and promised me big like he will put me on top at motorshow so i can get my bike right away. I dont need to worry etc. And came down and check and praise the mods on my cbr250:p He refused to get a deposit bc he claimed like his boss - boss of bigwing -have not fully set/decide the prices yet. how come? I hope we dont get a sting from price side! I ll see him on 29th of November afternoon at motorshow and check one more. It sounds too good to be true a little:D but we live with our hopes, right?

Or did he just write your name on a post-it note? :-) why are you asking my friend? to contribute here or just sh.t around? As we all know Thais say anything to agree. Perhaps he's asking because he wants to know if they are taking the details of interested parties on an official Big Wing list. I'm sure you're on an official Honda list with phone number and email and Big Wing will phone you as soon as there's more info. Though it seems he pretended to write your name on a scrap of paper to keep you happy. Good luck with it, hopefully it will all be smooth sailing and look forward to hearing about your new bike.

loserlazer Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 (edited) yeah cbrer. I know your concerns but you guys do not need to say that though as i live her for 5,5 years and know Thai people a little man, please Still, the sales guy yesterday was looking serious at bigwing. I hope it will go smooth as you never know Thailand:) But t least i went there and tried and my chances of getting the bike might be higher than guys sitting on their asses in front of the computer and sh.ttign around i am sure Edited November 24, 2012 by loserlazer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You say you wrote your name on a list. How long was this list? Was it in a book that said Honda500 waiting list? Were you given a receipt? What does it say on the receipt? I know you say you didn't pay any deposit, so were you given anything to say that you are now on the waiting list for the new 500? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loserlazer Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 (edited) i was the first one on that list written cbr500 on top:) And receipt? man please read the post first. The price is not decided and they do not take any bookings officially. But, you do not understand i guess. Dont be a typical farang like, where is the receipt? where is teh guarantee ? blah blah blah. I think you still have not realize like a receipt or list , these does not mean anything most of the time in Thailand man. In Thailand it is not about lists and it is never a guarantee here, it is all about showing yourself before and establishing a communication with the guys to create awareness there to raise your chance.

cbrer Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 i was the first one on that list written cbr500 on top:) So he wrote 'CBR500' on a piece of paper and then your name under it? In Thailand it is not about lists and it is never a guarantee here, it is all about showing yourself before and establishing a communication with the guys to create awareness there to raise your chance. That is all.gotcha? Actually, and I speak from experience with trying to book and buy the CBR250R as it was being released, it's all about getting to the dealer with the amount in cash as soon as it arrives. This takes preference over the pieces of paper that they lost and forgot a few weeks previously. As soon as there's news of them being delivered, be at the door before they open with the cash amount and all your docs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taninthai Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Well when I booked my crf 6 months before release and before honda even had a release date I didnt pay any deposit did not get any receipt and dud not see my name on any paper,and yet I had the first one in my province and probably one of the first 10 in the country,it's all about getting friendly with your dealer and I dont mean the sales staff it's got to be the manager .

And your dealer experience is worthless in this case as you got your bike from an oridary honda one not bigwing and i m sure they will start booking before the delivery. No need for empty talk cbrer. Instead of talking empty just do something and post, contribute here. At least i try and post my experience here, right? And what you are you doing? Talking empty on it man! C'mon.
