JonnyF Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Yep, looks like a cross between the KSR and the older style Honda monkey bikes like the Gorilla. Probably quite a cool little bike with 125cc and FI but I prefer the more moto-styled look of the KSR or the little KLX150 myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loserlazer Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Nice bike for gf. It looks ok and has a full manual clutch unlike ksr which has honda wave style semi auto 4 speeder and underpowered 110 cc engine with carb i guess? Hope we can see interesting bikes like that in Thailand.

wantan Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Such bikes would be interesting if they would be build in real size, not as toy or for dwarfs [img]http://static.thaivisa.com/forum//public/style_emoticons/default/wink.png[/img] A simple aircooled moped with good power would be nice. But OK, its a Honda, people will buy it anyway [img]http://static.thaivisa.com/forum//public/style_emoticons/default/smile.png[/img] 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a fun little 'pit bike', 'monkey bike' or whatever you want to call it. It's meant to be a 'toy', if you take yourself extremely seriously or need something to make yourself feel like a 'big man' then this probably isn't the bike for you [img]http://static.thaivisa.com/forum//public/style_emoticons/default/whistling.gif[/img] [img]http://static.thaivisa.com/forum//public/style_emoticons/default/laugh.png[/img] 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wantan Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 No need to feel big for me, i am big. This is why such toy isn't interesting for most farang. Any member here owning and riding such toy?

I met and had lunch with a KSR group ride in Khao Yai a few months ago, if you met some of the guys enjoying that ride then I'm pretty sure you would keep your opinions where they belong, behind your keyboard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Let's see; Honda sold more >151cc bikes than everyone else did regardless of displacement except Suzuki and Yamaha. Having said that Yamaha had 1/3 of the sales that Honda had and Suzuki had 5%. Think what would happen for Honda's profits if they could squeeze competitors like that out of the market? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darhut Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Wantan I think what people are trying to get across to you is Honda do make bikes like this in "real size" xr , cr etc . This new bike is to compete in the growing popularity of minatures and at a fraction of the cost of a "real size" bike. Would be fun around the farm.

macknife Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 I have a so called 'bigger' bike, but I also have a KSR and man it is fun to ride, esp' around the dirt roads up country. Looks good too. But I'm just 70kgs and clearly Wantan isn't. If that new honda is coming out it will sell ok i think, but the KSR looks better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taninthai Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 (edited) In the uk I saw a guy smack straight into the Back of a lorry on one of these little bikes ,he was only going slow so it wasnt too bad the bike didn't actually touch the lorry it was more the guys chest and arms smacking into the lorry kinda put me of these little bikes.

[/quote] ride any bike into a metal truck that weighs a few tonnes and the results arent going to be pretty this bike will be better than the ksr for at least 1 reason ,fully manual clutch Although i will also be too tall to ever get comfortable on a bike like that i can see how people could have great fun on it and if i were a teenager again or 40kg lighter ,i would want one 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Said it made her look sexy to custoners. Now got a beautiful house and loads of land in Khon Khaen. In a country where loads of ladies ride bikes, isn't a female version of male penis extensions a good idea?

nikster Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 (edited) It's a sweet looking ride, and a hair taller than a KSR. I am considering getting one actually... To me it looks way better than a KSR, at least stock. And it has a clutch! Clear winner in my book. wantan you need to get out of the house more, I see girls on KSRs everywhere. Daily. They look hot on those bikes and I guess they know it Edited February 25, 2013 by nikster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SumetCycle Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Thanks. The swingarm is 3,900 and the Ohlins shock is 2,500. Dropping even more weight today by adding a tidy tail. I'll post a pic when it is done. I rode it home last night. What a fun ride, even through traffic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
