stevehaigh Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 maybe that one - rumored new hypermotard with an 848 SF engine.... ok rumored, it's not really rumored, more like more and more "spy shots" are being released by Ducati... multi will only makes sense... they're already assembling the Diavel and the Monster 795 here... I want both of those bikes This has got to be the worst time ever to buy any imported bike with so many made in Thailand bikes in the pipeline. Ducati, Z800, Honda's CB/R/X500... I LOVE the look of this bike not me, it looks like a toy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mania Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 (edited) not me, it looks like a toy I think it is camera angle that gives it an odd look. Motards are not small or toy-ish at all. Also that wrap job to hide the bike does it no favors I never really cared for Motard styling but now that I live here I actually have warmed up to them & see them as probably being a very functional bike for Thailand.

mania Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 (edited) Well if anyone sees this one they will know as my drool was all over it Kidding aside the owner seemed like a nice gracious guy. He could see how taken I was with it. For me that bike is dripping with passion Edited November 1, 2012 by mania Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like having something hot between my legs.....LOL Have had great bikes in my life but never one of these. Out of my price range sad to say But if I hit the Thai lottery it will be mine ....well the Panigale These are pricey in the States but extra pricey here Edited November 1, 2012 by mania Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikster Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 (edited) I saw that too, plus two other Ducs parked next to it... I'd think there's more than 2 in the LoS... Paradorn has one... and it seems like it would be an obvious check box to tick off for any rich Thai. Must be the annual Ducati club outing in CM...

If so wish I had seen all 3 I guess your probably right about upping the ante to the tri color The 1199S goes for 1,698,000 THB The Tri Color is 200k more If your in that deep it probably doesn't matter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(you know who you are).... and not suitable for the bad Thai roads.... and Somchai can't fix it when it breaks, what are you thinking?? You're much better off with a Honda Phantom!

That new pretend one so I guess the owner is HiSo, which would explain the me-too-ness of the place. Forgot the name, it's on Soi 9 on the corner, London retro theme.

bbradsby Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 I'm still trying to figure out where all this 'burning balls/backsides/legs' commentary is coming from, unless you're a shorts & flippers squid. Then the right ankle could get a tad toasty. With proper gear or even with just jeans & shoes? Not a problem. I have owned several models of Duc superbikes with underseat exhausts, and have yet to burn anything or feel any appreciable heat. This is with LA rush hour, Central Valley, Mojave Desert and desert race track runs included... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikster Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 (edited) EICMA update: There's good news, and there's bad news. The good news: The bad news: Agghhhh my eyes, Ducati what have you done?? Both bikes are high end and come with a high end pricetag - $12k and $13.5k respectively. That means Thai prices will probably come in around 500 - 600k, using the Monster/Diavel pricing as a guideline. Available in two trim levels, the base 2013 Ducati Hypermotard comes with Kayaba 43mm USD forks that have 6.7″ of travel, while the Sachs rear shock has preload & rebound adjustments only with 5.9″ of travel. Meanwhile, the 2013 Ducati Hypermotard SP features fully adjustable 50mm Marzocchi forks with 7.3″ of travel, and an Öhlins rear shock with 6.9″ of travel. Both Hypermotards have Brembo monobloc M4-32 brakes, ride-by-wire throttle control, three riding modes (Race, Sport, & Wet), along with the Ducati Safety Package, which includes ABS brakes and Ducati Traction Control (DTC). The Hypermotard SP however comes with forged Marchesini wheels, a radial master cylinder, aluminum handlebars, and various carbon fiber pieces…and oh, a drop-dead sexy paint scheme.

snowflake Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 We can always hope... The diavel is only 799k so we can hope for something similar, maybe around 599-699k... Hope, PRAY, expect 899k to be pleasantly surprised... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yankee99 Posted November 13, 2012 Author Share Posted November 13, 2012 not seeing whether these are being assembled in Thailand - thus hugely affecting the price for us locals - anybody know?

bbradsby Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 uh, your sources are the rumor mill... could you possibly clarify that a bit? no worries. its understood that Ducati Thailand are very tight-lipped about upcoming model intros and pricing for locally-assembled bikes, as it immediately kills current sales at the extorted import pricing. Should be a Ducati Tonglor party announcement forthcoming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
