I was at Barcelona Motors today, and they had a couple cool cool bikes on display, including the new S1000R naked bike- it's 830K, and only the base model is available (which is disappointing)- the Sport and Dynamic packages (which give more riding modes and DDC suspension) aren't being offered in LOS this year (without those options I wouldn't be interested).

There wasn't an S1000RR on the floor, which was too bad as I wanted to check it out.

HP4 Standard:

S1000R:

The R nineT, which was very cool but pricey at 1,090,000 baht:

The ultimate adventure bike- R1200GS:

Nice pics thanks

Yes I saw that Naked in US too

While not a naked fan theirs does look beefy in a good way

Here is a nice RR with Anniie twisting it

There was also a small price bump (a little less than 2%) on most models from March, which probably reflects the weaker baht.

I like the R nine T wonder if motor is same as HP2. If i was going I would go to BKK Motorcycle not Barcelona.

S1000rr makes sense at 900 something k.

S1000r does not make sense for me though.

Cool bikes. Seen R nine T at motorshow. Looks cool really.

And never understand an adventure with a 260 kg bike!

Nice pics thanks

Wow. Nice twist

She has no protection though. I feel bad if she gets road rash. Especially the boobs

I see she has protection when she needs too

Girl is hotter than Bangkok in april

Looks like she just got a new RC8 too

I've always liked BMW's bike styling, unlike many of their weird looking cars.

I feel the term "Smokin' hot" can be used here

That R nine T is very cool but if I was going to spend1,090,000, I would take the New Monster 1200S with 145bhp. I do expect both bikes to be assembled in Thailand in the future which will lower the price by about a third.

BMW has made weird looking cars?

R nine T is definitely on my list in the years to come, esp. once they make it here. Such a beauty. I'm not normally into classic bikes but that one has a sort of classic/modern/timeless styling. You just know it'll still look good 20 years from now.

No doubt the red one provides more excitement ... 1200S in particular looks to be yet another just great bike, unlike the current 795/796. But I have a red one already...

Nothing wrong with the M795/796, the Monster after all is Ducati's biggest seller. Many people love the air cooled Desmo.

nothing to do with ducati... I wanted to get a BMW actually...

I actually looked into the BMW issue a bit more (I had an earlier thread regarding it as I'm also considering buying one)- it seems that most of the issues were minor and related to accessories, as BMW riders tend to treat their bikes like 'Malibu Barbies' and hang every possible thing they can off them- the repairs generally weren't major engine problems.

S1000r has a weird headlight! Is this an ongoing trend?

Its their signature most of their bikes do have and had asymmetric lights. On the S1000R it looks quite ok but then its the only nice bike they have

Well, despite the weird headlamp and the lack of features on the Thai version of S1000r, I hope they do well. It would be good if Ducati continues to gain strength in this market as well.

Me too, I love air cooled desmos......if they are 1100cc.

Sorry to bump an older thread,but after riding a mates R nine T a bit i have grown to like it a lot.

Trouble is i can have two XJR1300's for the same dollars, so whatever i will keep on XJR-ing

Really is a great all round bike.

Found this modded one on this site and is worth sharing,awesome looking bike.

Guy I used to ride with in Pattaya bought a S1000R or RR, can't remember.

Always on a truck going to BKK for electrical gremlins.

Finally sold it.
