bramds Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 So this started yesterday, going until Sunday 1st. All the usual suspects are there, and also Ural and Indian. Urals are around 900K baht. Long live import tax. MV Agusta brought the new Dragster, yes the one with the spoked wheels, and it is only 1.29 million KTM didn't bring a lot, but there is the new RC200. Honda, same old, same old, and same for Kawasaki and Suzuki. Yamaha brought new colours of the FZ-09. Don't know if they had ABS, too many people there. No Harley or Triumph. Lots of shops, but same as other years. A lot of people there yesterday, so only had a quick look around. Will be going back on Saturday when they have the custom bikes weekend. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Ozgur Posted January 29, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted January 29, 2015 (edited) I went there yesterday and it was like a mini motorshow. Parking lot was as interesting as the displays and booths. The way those gangs made dramatic entries with continous throttle moves and shatter the air was cool to watch. Each rider must have felt like a celebrity once hundreds of amazed and wondering eyes were on them. I always like these kind of events. I hope there are more and more bikes sold in Thailand and we can have more opportunities like this, more riders, and more brands/models/accessories...

dave_boo Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 (edited) Got a good deal on some gear and there's some nice parallel twins. Don't think that actually falls into the "naked" category.... **edit** Did you see any gore tex boots in size 49? Probably wishful thinking that you would have noticed...but doesn't hurt to ask.
