Good News For Honda Fans In Pattaya

[BSJ]

Went past the Bug Wing today and surprise surprise.........it isn't open yet........but from the look of it they could be within the fortnight coming.

[johng]

where is it exactly ?

[PoolHustler]

On sukhumvit road going from Pattaya Tai to Pattaya Klang about half way

[mania]

Yeah the ChiangMai one was the same way.

Looked like it was a long way off completion then....Boom All Done

That is typical though in Thailand it seems.

Many times I see a place just take off till complete

[loserlazer]

i think they use special construction tech as even building a small house here takes longer time.

Maybe pre fabric units?

[dec]

they already have most of their advertised big bikes (including 2 x fireblades) in the honda shop next to the unfinished place......ironically it is directly across the road from Kawasaki big bike shop..

I was told Mityon owned the old building that was there before.

Both shops Kawa and Honda are Mytion owned branches

[lemoncake]

Its few meters down from sukhumvit soi 46/3, just opposite side of Kawasaki Shop

[johng]

Ok great when its open I'll go and admire all the nice bikes I can't afford

I am sure they can arrange finance for you. Will you be giving them your left testicle .....or the right one?

and owned by the same people

[BSJ]

Not long to wait now. They have nice new chairs in the showroom to slip behind you when they tell you the price!!! The shopfitters have nearly finished. The bug day will be upon us soon.

Todays update: Bikes in the showroom! Looks like it's all happening at Bug Wing.

You should go to the opening it was a pretty good affair in Chiang Mai

Free drinks, Beer,coffee etc. Foods too but of course the Models is the main reason

Can you imagine what would happen if they had free food and drinks. The balloon chasers would have sukhumvit closed down.

Ha-ha.

Don't you think that the chairs are for special invited guests on the opening day (whenever that is??) with speeches and the whole 9 yard. If it's Miton owned the major might even be there and us balloon chasers have to go somewhere else

The Balloon Chasers are too lousy to spend money on petrol to ride to Bug Wing from Central Pattaya......or pay baht bus fare.....but they may just walk there, just to spite me, to eat the free food I want to eat! I am not interested in pretty girls......but I reserve the right to change my mind when I get there.

Went in last night and happened upon a chap that spoke decent English. Said to come back on Sunday the 3rd of March, 5pm for the galah opening.

[guzzi850m2]

Ahh I knew it, the major was there, he-he.

Quote: The target is to sell 500 bikes this year, holy cow that's about 2 pr day.

I wish them good luck with that, when I visited yesterday I was the only "customer" and I was only window shopping, having parked my mighty PCX150 on the empty customers bike parking.

Well at least it's a Honda, LOL.

Well I have nothing against Honda, but the bikes in the green and white showroom over the road seem more exciting! Yes, they spent a lot of money just for 500 bikes (estimate) a year.

Honda bigwing guys told me that only in bangkok they sold 1200 honda 500 series.

Ciang Mai bigwing sales does not count on this number they added by the way.

Pretty good i guess for 3 months of sale.

Well, I take my hat off to them. The order takers have been busy little bees.

[yankee99]

500, 1000 or 2000 its a joke for sales for a country this size. Expats could account for 1000bikes. Its no wonder the local market has no nice bikes.
