karlos Posted January 21, 2013 Author Share Posted January 21, 2013 Have the new prices been announced for Honda too?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loserlazer Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Have the new prices been announced for Honda too?? Yeah. 210 k for cbr500, 214 k for cbx500 qnd 204k for cb500. 6000 thb increase only. It looks like honda is subsidizing some of that tax as kawa prices went up really high like 20 k on er6f?

karlos Posted January 21, 2013 Author Share Posted January 21, 2013 So the 650s have gone up by just over 8%? I thought the tax brackets were 10% and 20% for the larger of the three tiers, looks like Kawasaki took a 2% chunk of that tax on the chin also. I think your CBR500 was only hit with 5% tax, right? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my GT-N7100 using Thaivisa Connect App the new tax is incremental and the kawasakis got hit with 10% because being in the segement above 500cc but the hondas were only hit with 6% due to the engine being a 470cc kawasaki have also given a slight discount as the versys should have been 319k @10% added but they have knocked a few grand off it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffreyMcCollum Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I think Kawi will start having more problems moving bikes now there are other options and lower cost ones at that 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cbrer Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I think Kawi will start having more problems moving bikes now there are other options and lower cost ones at that Yup. Let's hope for a full-on product and price war over the coming years. AP Honda suddenly stepped up to the plate in 2010 and have handed Kawa their arse on a plate ever since. Even more so in the next year or two unless they manage to monumentally F-Up their national Big Wing enterprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess anything is possible but I am at the Kawasaki dealer a lot lately & they are sure not short of shoppers or folks signing waiting lists. Bikes & trucks here in Thailand are kind of odd as far as markets & reactions go. Edited January 21, 2013 by mania Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post nikster Posted January 21, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted January 21, 2013 (edited) The Kawa 650s still compare well with the 500 Hondas; they shouldn't be 80k more of course but on the other hand they're bigger bikes with more power so they can be more expensive. Let's hope Kawasaki answers Honda's all out assault there... the Z800 should be exciting, with that Kawa is starting to produce inline 4s in Thailand! You'd think they'd have trouble selling a Ninja 250 but by all accounts that's certainly not the case - I guess looking crazy awesome does help explain the 60k baht price difference to the CBR250... just saw one today on the road; I walked up to it to see what that hot bike was, and sure enough it was a red Ninjette. As far as I heard the previous excise tax was 3% so that explains why the price did not go up by a full 5 / 10%. In some ways this sucks, but on the positive side my Versys didn't lose much value over the past 2 years - it's still the exact same bike, cost 280k when I got it (there was a 5k hike the next year, I guess for the new colors) and now 313. Good to see the Monster 795 didn't go up too badly. But the Diavel - OUCH! 100k more that hurts. It wasn't cheap to begin with, a CKD model with 30% import tax. Lucky those who got a Diavel late last year... PS: The Z-1000 is a bit of an unlucky case because it's just over 1000 cc at 1043 cc.

loserlazer Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 (edited) Yeah kawa has no trouble on selling ninja250s. They still sell good and more with the new model. Kawa showrooms are always full. But 650 kawas might suffer a bit. Justification of 80k looks stronger on honda 500s objectively. Kawa will grow more eventually same as honda as the pioneer of big bikes in thailand. Thai people get richer, installments got smaller. And good for monster. Raise is small. Cool bike to have but poor for touring around still. I prefer to pay 150 k more and buy 210ish kg z1000 instead of 230 kg z800 if someone cares - unless they sell it for 370k baht. Who will produce the first 600 inline four supersport in Thailand? Please speed up! God knows the prices of triumphs and ktms right now!

True that....Folks are still waiting for the 2nd batch & I get compliments to no end. Felt kind of weird getting so many from the Street Fighter rider today. I wanted to say hey we can swap if you like Where was the one you saw parked? If it was in front of a coffee place on Changklan it was mine PS: I hope it is true about 4cyl bikes being made here.

yankee99 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 looking at these numbers i would doubt the z800 will be sub 400k. BTW i feel 69,000 baht richer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nikster Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Ok folks, looks like not all is as doom and gloom as it seems. A friend of mine was quoted 258k for an ER-6n out the door. Well below the 275 indicated above. Not a desperation sale either, there is a 2 month wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiNiro Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 I was at Ducati today & the guy said these are the new prices I don't recall the old prices so am not sure myself. But it is not cheap to ride a Panigale I noticed they neglected to add the Hypermotard and Multistrada to the updated price list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it is not cheap to ride a Panigale I noticed they neglected to add the Hypermotard and Multistrada to the updated price list. They're scheduled to be assembled in Thailand so I guess they're not bothering with selling them as imports right now. The dealer here insists a mini Multistrada is coming as well, a special asian market model akin to the monster, cheaper and smaller than the 1200.

candypants Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 What amazes me is the comparatively tiny cost differential between the KX 250 and 450. An extra 41k gets you 200 cc more engine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
