yankee99 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 I looked at the cbr1000 too. Its going to get taxed also which could put it in the 900k range. In its thai/restricted form it doesnt really have any more power then the z1000. I am getting older and for daily use and comfort the z1000 wins hands down. The tax probably wouldnt have stopped me as i wanted a legal bike. I ordered it before the motorexpo and it was here in less then a month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sup3r1or Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 It doesnt really matter, because my wifes uncle will buy it full whack and I will have to pay him month by month, however he wants to know how much is financing so he can calculate how much I will need to pay. If your wife's uncle pays it in full, then why do you need to know the intrest rate? You should work it out between yourselves how and how much you will pay back. Nothing to do with Honda anymore. Lol in thailand everyone wants to make a penny in profit mate even uncles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taninthai Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 I need to come to reserve the bike, however I need to bloody know how much money to bring yet he doesnt say. Most bike shops will accept 5k baht Of course you may leave more & some will accept 3k But I am sure if you take 5k you will be fine if you want to reserve a bike The shop is probably getting loads of phone calls aday about this bike ,just go down the shop with a stack of 1000 bht notes and your get all your questions answered.

cbrer Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Hmm, not sure if I care... Still a sexy bike, but if it lands at high 600k there is a cbr1000... Yes, but the CBR1000 will go up 20% if classed as 1000cc, and perhaps 10% if classed as 999cc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The CBR 1000 is easy enough to derestrict with an aftermarket exhaust, full spec velocity stacks, and an ECM piggyback. It is pricey though and it will be interesting to see if it gets the 10 or 20 percent tax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You already own the CBR 1000 so there is nothing for you to worry about unless they tax you when you have to renew the registration. It's still interesting to see how much the CBR 1000 will cost next year. Any news?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"That's 800 baht for the annual road tax sir. Oh yeah, and an extra 160,000 baht in government tax. Cash please." No that is not going to happen, ever. No need to scare people like Loser Lazer who freaked out over an extra 6k tax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbrer Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Must be cool just buying a bike and then suddenly the value of it going up by 160,000 baht over night. If the CBR1000 does get classed in the 20% bracket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bramds Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 The Ducati guy in Siam Paragon told me the Monster 795 will be "500,000 baht up". As if their bikes weren't expensive enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One on baht sold for 350k. Barely used. Snap it up lads. Might be some good deals on nearly new bikes with owners who don't know the price and value is just about to inflate.

I'm surprised by the complete lack of ride reports and info from the Thai sites. Guys have posted pics of them picking up their bikes weeks ago. And that's it. No info on top speed. No onboard videos. Nothing. With the CBR150 and 250 you had Thai guys tearing down the motorway at 4am with 85psi in their tires to see how fast they could take them.

But really the 1st idea is totally do-able Ducati surely could offer a rebate & cut their end a bit at least Same for the other big bike makers The 2nd idea I know sounds good but you never know TIT I mean it makes sense but that does not always seem to matter.
