Happy New Year guys

Just cruising today past a Yamaha Dealer & saw this bike sitting out front

Did a quick U turn to take a look....

Something new? 89,500 Baht

Looks cool, a bit steep on the price though. Maybe not, when compared to a cbr150

The Thais love them, see many around now, yes looks cool.

Too small for me.

90k baht is not bad at all for a 150cc bike, the scooters in same range is not much cheaper than that.

Yes I have not been following the bike market here the last year but saw this.

Reason I turned around is I was not sure of the brand & at first wondered what it was.

Because while not following I did know the main Japanese small street bikes were not giving USD Forks

I guess this naked Yamaha is now coming with 37mm USD's & I just saw an article saying Yamaha will

pass these onto their version 3 R-150 types also

Too small I agree for long open road rides but these 150/250/300 range are great for most things here IMHO

Get full sized brakes/tires/suspension for not much price difference over some scooter these days that come with wheelbarrow sized wheels 555
