Kawazaki 636

[blackpanda]

A friend told me that the new ZX6R was coming to Thailand for 300,000.

Is that true?

[JonnyF]

Impossible for 300k.

If it came it would be around double that price.

[taninthai]

a friend also told me thailand is land off smiles... , i suppose there is a possibility it will come one day but i think its safe to say it wont be 300k

[mania]

heheh we can dream !

Superbike Thailand December 2012 issue had a test of the

2013 636 & listed price at 450k baht basic model

& 490k baht for the KIBS/ABS model

But I do wonder at that price as it is equal to $16,773. USD

The retail I believe in the US is around $12,000

So maybe they will import it but at close to 450k-490k Baht

[loserlazer]

bike gods, c'mon, i can die for a kawa zx6r.

i hope that is true.

But, if they make it in Thailand i scare they might not make it well.

Remember, z1000 is made of aluminum but thai made z8 is made of steel and lots of other things that make me scare.

And, just forget 300k. A er6f is close to 300k now so if they import it here, it might cost around 500k and if they make ti here at least 400k which is OK

Still, kawa lets be it man and i will be the first one to buy if not more than 500 k

I assume those prices are for track bikes i.e unregistered.

The ZX10R was sold by Kawasaki for 670,000 if my memory serves me correctly, that was 2-3 years ago before the recent price hikes due to government taxation.

Honda sells the CBR1000RR for 870k (give or take a few baht). I dont see a ZX636 being less than 600k if it's registered for road use. I'd love to be wrong though.

Yeah my Thai reading is nowhere near good enough to read the whole article.

So when they mention prices like that I am not sure what they are talking about.

Since it is not available here are they quoting nearest country or??

But, surely if they brought it in I think it might kill sales to any of

their other upper end sport bikes.

At a claimed hp at 13,500 rpm + the KTRC traction control system, big piston forks, etc.

I think many perf minded riders would go straight for it. If they could afford it

385.000b would be about the same as the current UK price. So if built here or on a trade tariff. Possible

[loserlazer]

But if it is imported from Japan - i think it is produced only in Japan - , it costs less and after 2015 tariff rates are dropping on trade between Thailand and Japan.

USA price is around 350 k so if imported, we can see ti here like 500 k - 550 k.

If made in Thailand definitely less than 450 k.

Many people i am sure are dreaming about a zx6r here right now, i am sure and will buy it right away

Bike gods, please help us.

Troll post.

That original picture in post #1 is funny

It has a Kawasaki Ultra 300 Jetski hiding in the back

at first sight I though it was some giant sport bike

[Beardog]

That would be to much to ask. An inline 4 in Thailand period. Looks like a 600,000 baht bike if it was here. They would at least have to jack it up super high like Honda & maybe then some more just cause it is a real inline 4 instead of the 2 banger

It's a V twin mate not an inline 4..... well according to this.....

However having listened to this.......sounds very much in-line four to me????

Now confused

Been doing some internet research and Wiki confirms an in-line 4....so <deleted> to Bikez.com for giving false info!!!

Maybe we see it on this motor show!

C'mon kawa, you can bring it!

[Rickster]

If anyone is interested, I know where there is a 2006 (last of the 636cc before cease production and cont with 599cc) Kwak ZX-6r 636 in brand new condition, obviously imported (unrestricted spec) but hardly ridden since import, with about 7000km's i believe. Colour is like a champagne silver and has all legal docs inc green book, awesome looking bike and in Phuket. Price is 325,000B and the number coincidently is 636!!!

Just for the record, this isn't my bike

Edited March 22, 2013 by Rickster

7 years is old , 325 k is too much for it and phuket is far away.

any pics maybe?

[mania]

The 2006 Zx6R in Silver

[loserlazer]

looks cool and i like the pipes under seat but to get a 7 years old bike from Phuket sounds risky to me.

Absolutely not the same bike, this bike has been in a showroom for the last few years, owner sells bikes not rents them!!!

MCW but closed weekend and cannot look inside as shutters are down. I actually went this morning to take a photo for the thread but as i said closed....

The bike is identical to the one pictured in post #18

Hmmm as a bike shop I guess a trade in might be acceptable too?

In normal circumstances i would say yes, but this shop very rarely takes in part ex's....

[bbradsby]

MCW is run by great people - ask for Toine. I am happy to share that they have gone beyond the call of duty for me recently. I did see that kawi there BTW, and it looked pretty nice.

Bike was introduced at the BKK motor show. No info on price yet. Imported? Not imported?

There's a thread over at GT-Rider on it. It's on display at the BKK motor show. That doesn't mean it's made here, actually it doesn't even mean that Kawasaki will sell it here. I remember they had the ZX6R on display a couple of years ago and when I asked about pricing etc. the salesman said it would be on sale at around 600,000 baht in a couple of months time. It never happened.

Hope this one is officially sold by Kawasaki at less than 600k. Lovely bike.
