loserlazer Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 I am at honda dealer now and have seen the new honda sh150i today. Looks better than pcx for sure but it is 100,000 thb! I am not sure if they give the givi bow and ermax windshield with the bike. Although it looks european style, still it is expensive.

MrJ Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 I have learned that the first few hundred bikes get free box and windshield - anyhow 100k, I think better opt for the Forza 300Cc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loserlazer Posted June 14, 2013 Author Share Posted June 14, 2013 Nice windshield and box though. If you want to buy them alone, i am sure they cost around 10 k at least. Sent from my GT-N7100 using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VocalNeal Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 (edited) I have learned that the first few hundred bikes get free box and windshield - anyhow 100k, I think better opt for the Forza 300Cc Or wait for the SH300? The Forza engine is based on or is the SH300. The SH150i engine has different characteristics than the PCX. Figures are always bandied about but from what I can ascertain SH has almost 2 HP more? 15.5 vs 13.6. What I can say for sure is that the after-market variators are different.

nikster Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 (edited) Wow. Honda just keeps pumping them out, this is amazing. Now they are selling the EU models here... 100k .... probably still cheaper than the same bike in Europe?! Looks a lot nicer than the PCX which frankly is not hard... In the newspaper ad there is a white sh150 with a white top box. Looks much better than the black ones in the pix.

Popular Post Salapoo Posted June 19, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted June 19, 2013 Wow, 100k. If someone had said that this is 'a cheap Chinese scooter that costs 30k' I'd have found it more believable. Strange styling and design for an expensive Honda. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salapoo Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 btw, how much do new CBR150s cost nowadays? I think they were 90k last time I asked at a dealer. Must be close to 100k by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loserlazer Posted June 19, 2013 Author Share Posted June 19, 2013 enkei rims and good tires. looking good quality as well way more than pcx. I am sure the quality of the materials are better too. But i think the same engine as pcx150. As it is written the same ESP thing on the bike. it looks nice from sides as well. If pcx 150 is around 85 k i think this bike is OK for a 100 k - 105 k and sure it will sell- and i am sure it gets cheaper soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonnyF Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 This kind of looks like Honda's equivalent of the Nouvo Elegance. Not sure why it's nearly twice as expensive though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macknife Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 I've seen it in the flesh. I can't imagine why anyone would buy it over the PCX at that price. In fact, it could be cheaper and I would still prefer a PCX. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that mean part of the inflated price is due to import tax? Or is it part of the ASEAN free trade agreement? Paying a premium for a German or Italian bike is one thing, but for a Vietnamese bike?

Not sure what it is though. I'll see if I can find out. To me everything on the bike looks to be of higher quality than the average Thai scooter, including the PCX. Even the paint job on the Sh150 looks like something off an expensive big bike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VocalNeal Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 I was just thinking if the SH might be a hard sell here as it looks to the uninitiated and at a glance like a Scoopy. Who is going to pay 100,000 to ride a large Scoopy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wantan Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 I was just thinking if the SH might be a hard sell here as it looks to the uninitiated and at a glance like a Scoopy. Who is going to pay 100,000 to ride a large Scoopy. Maybe larger people? But its a new model. Maybe the price will go down after a while. I like the SH more than the baby dinosaur look of the PCX.

VocalNeal Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 I was surfing a Spanish site and found that there SH is listed as Scoopy SH. All of then from 125,150 and 300. Just saying. Oh and for sure few people in the world are getting smaller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Drucker Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 While some of you seem to prefer the PCX-style frame, this is exactly what I was waiting for in Thailand. A large wheel (16") step-through with a 150cc engine. These are great for carrying extra baggage at your feet when you are out shopping and bought a bit too much to carry back! I'd deck one out with a windshield and a box. A great bike for in town, and the occasional haul into the country. I saw these SH-150i's in Vietnam last year, and priced them out at around $6,000 USD (180,000 baht) over there! So the price is reasonable in comparison. Also, these sold for one year in the States at a list price of around $4,450. So again, in comparison it's a good price compared to other markets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B1ade Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Does this mean they'll be another scooter model along side all the PCXs parking in the 'big bike' parking areas, blocking all the spaces for actual big bikes, it gets my goat.

B1ade Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 At jungceylon and central in Phuket, both main malls here have areas only for big bikes, totally separate from scooter parking areas, big bikes simply can't get into those areas due to narrow lanes and cramped parking, nothing to do with arrogance. most of the time i have to park my ducati out on the street and it's already been damaged twice by people who park next to it and dont give a shit, because the PCXs have all the spaces that should be reserved only for big bikes, just saying! PCXs have cost me a repair bill haha, get it?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
