Dutchbike Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 I like it's simple, back to basic look, A bit of a revival of the Kawasaki GTO/Yamaha RXZ workhorses. What's the price? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nickymaster Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 (edited) Maybe it costs 39,900 (with kick starter) http://www.checkraka.com/price/motorcycle-15-157/%E0%B8%8B%E0%B8%B9%E0%B8%8B%E0%B8%B9%E0%B8%81%E0%B8%B4-Suzuki-GD110-HU-Standard-%E0%B8%9B%E0%B8%B5-2015-1443520/ Edited February 6, 2015 by Nickymaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ll2 Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 (edited) a no frills bike. but these can go forever with basic maintenance. hope honda also releases the new 2015 cb125f here too. i like cheap, basic, no frills but effective bikes coming from japanese.

Dutchbike Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 It's been a long time since Suzuki had a bike like that. This A100 model I still sometimes see, mostly ridden by elderly Thai man who problaly bought them brand new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taichiplanet Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 (edited) looks like a nice retro to run around town. i'm guessing it is made in the Philippines, cost there is about equivilent to THB 36K (PHP 49K). Seems to be using a carbie, and the 4 speed semi-auto (clutchless) gearbox puts me off. Edited February 6, 2015 by taichiplanet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you look at the pics at the checkraka link You will see a clutch lever so I doubt it is semi-auto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were being ridden by teenagers though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dutchbike Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 ^ Good to see that Thai teenagers restore a bit of Thai bike heritage. The A100's I spot are mostly falling apart, held together with duct tape put keep on going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The A100's I spot are mostly falling apart, held together with duct tape put keep on going. There seems to be quite a few of the classics in the area. Agree that it's pretty cool; when I was their age (many, many years ago) it was El Caminos for whatever reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnyF Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 I like it, been toying with the idea of a little cafe racer but didn't fancy a Stallion Centaur - this would be a pretty good starting point I reckon. Only 100cc though, hmmmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ttakata Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 I used to spend a lot of time in Yaowarat where similar looking bikes (though 2 strokes) are seen delivering goods all about and wondered why is no one selling new workhorses? Question answered, good for Suzuki. Although it's not the type of bike I would buy; this is good for Thailand so cheap deliveries can continue to happen.

guzzi850m2 Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Front drum brake, <deleted>! I don't like that at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_boo Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Front drum brake, <deleted>! I don't like that at all. It's a 112cc bike...and seeing boardmembers (myself included) are quite...hefty...I doubt it will get going to a point that more than a drum brake is required.

taichiplanet Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 my mistake about the clutch, i saw the see-saw lever and assumed clutchless. Seems at the Thai launch they had some Cafe Racer versions at 7:16 on the vid; not sure if official or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
