sup3r1or Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Going to Chiang Mai this weekend to buy one. Still not sure about the color. Like black but way too hot for that in Thailand, also like red one which I think I will go for. never was a fan of white color but dam_n that red blue white looks good. Too bad the dirt will stick to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, the seat, grips and side panels are black no matter what. Those are the only parts you come into contact with so choose whatever colour IMO. I think the black looks really good.

snowflake Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Go and have your war another place... I for one is happy that the review came up... gives me a little more details to think about... Went to 167kmph before the corner (must be some poke to it)... I am sure that the bike magazine (fast bikes) I bought in Amsterdam on Monday had a review about the CBR500R... not bad at all, BUT it is a budget bike so if you feel like you need the best of the best (Stay away)... It is made for beginners and return riders that does not need the full CBR speed... I will check at home tonight and might even post a link or type it up for you guys... I still need to see the CB500X in real life.. (Z1000 here I come)... PS, a Thai claiming that both feet on the ground sounds like a very VERY low bike for me...!!!

sup3r1or Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Really kind of pissed off with Honda BigWing Chiang Mai. My wife called them today and ask for info about prices and financing, was told will send her an email in 10 mins. Nothing arrived, so 5 hours later i called and spoke to the manager, who wasnt helpful at all. We have too many customers cannot do anything now, told me the first batch of 500r will arrive next week but they do not know how many. I need to come to reserve the bike, however I need to bloody know how much money to bring yet he doesnt say. The only thing he said financing is at 9% now which is much more than 5.5 I have seen back in the end of December. 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. Have a feeling though that it will take a month or more to get hands on one, since he said that is the first batch arriving next week since opening and it will be less than 10.

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.

When the new CBR150's came out in 2010 (the250 version hadn't been announced yet) I went from dealer to dealer with 80k in cash, each dealer had 3 or 4 sitting on the floor. 'Cannot. Sell already. Owner wait for lucky day to pick-up'. Fortunately the CBR250 was announced so I waited the few weeks and had every Thai dealer in the area knowing that I was going to arrive with 100k+ cash the morning they first hit the dealers. That got me one. Just. Edited January 2, 2013 by cbrer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to change from my Ninja... If not z1000, then what?? The government added a tax to all motorcycles. 1000cc seem to be around 20%. Kawasaki will decide the final selling price and may absorb some of the additional cost. imho the z1000 is still the best value for the hp.
