Bikes at the 2014 Motor Expo (Bangkok)

[2wheels]

In walking order.



The 'Zero Emission' UDA-EV



Lots of interest around the massive Tenere 1200.
I was informed (misinformed?) that the XT660 will not become available in Thailand due to 'cost against competitors'.
A representative cited the CB500X as the 'competitor' to the XT660.



There was a huge amount of interest in the smaller Vulcan.
NB chain drive.
Two colours; black or white.
285,000 baht (which, I believe, is slightly more than the equivalent in USA).







More later, need sustenance and it's painfully slow WiFi here at the Mariya 'Boutique' Hotel.

Any more info on the Ducati in the first pic ?

 

[2wheels]

Hello Bill.
Afraid not.
It was just standing there looking handsome as, with no-one in attendance and no info on bike.

 

[2wheels]

The Kawasaki Z300.





The KLR650?
No such bike!


The KTM Duke T for 245,000 baht.

[2wheels]

Sorry guys but because of an inadequate WiFi service and disinterested staff here at the Mariya 'Boutique' Hotel the rest of this report will need to be done tomorrow. pillow

Seems to be a custom made bike - more info in Thai here: http://www.autospinn.com/2014/10/%E0%B9%80%E0%B8%9B%E0%B8%B4%E0%B8%94%E0%B9%81%E0%B8%A5%E0%B9%89%E0%B8%A7-libero-moto-%E0%B8%95%E0%B8%B1%E0%B8%A7%E0%B9%81%E0%B8%97%E0%B8%99%E0%B8%88%E0%B8%B3%E0%B8%AB%E0%B8%99%E0%B9%88%E0%B8%B2/

 

[bill]

Thanks LR. Googling the name of the customiser in your link led me to their FB page

Looks like its a custom Ducati Monster 795 by Libero Moto Motorcycle Studio in Bangkok

Lots of lifestyle accessories on their FB page, expect they'll have fun with the new Scrambler.

 

[CraigBKK]

I like that Duke T too. Looks Scrambereque, nice and light too!

 

[2wheels]

The Honda 'Alien' (NM4) was on show.









The Anniversary Goldwing.
Yours for only 1,320,000 baht.





No-one at the Honda stand knew anything (seemingly) about the CRF1000L.

 

[2wheels]

MV Agusta was there.



BMW were a 'no show', (update: I missed them and apparently BMW are there) as was Harley Davidson.
I was hoping to ask some-one at HD about the Street 500/750 but ..........

 

[2wheels]

The Honda CB1100.







We all have our dreams.

 

[2wheels]

There was a huge amount of interest at the Triumph stand, probably due to their more friendly prices.
Although the Scrambler price doesn't seem too friendly.
Nor does the seating arrangement for the pillion's right leg!







The Thruxton.









(Had to cover all angles here)

 

[2wheels]

A V-Strom set up for touring.



I was told that this accessory package adds 52,000 baht to the basic price.

The oil filter is a recognized vulnerability, so Suzuki have this shield for it.

 

[2wheels]

The Ducati Scrambler. Nice.










The Expo is on until the 10th.
I have a few spare entry tickets for anyone who needs one. (pm me)

 

[LivinLOS]

I like that Duke T too. Looks Scrambereque, nice and light too!

As a nice duke 200 customs sure. But the lack of front fender would be nasty in wet season..

 

[2wheels]

OK, now to fix this 'attachments' nonsense. (tonight when I have a better WiFi connection!)

 

[bikesncats]

The Ducati Scrambler. Nice

Sorry but I have to disagree....looks like a badly missed imitation of the Moto Morini Scrambler

 

[Forest]

No-one at the Honda stand knew anything (seemingly) about the CRF1000L.[/QUOTE]
Meaning no word of 'true adventure'? Turn off yawning

 

[oldbloke]

No Aprilia presence??

 

[2wheels]

No Aprilia presence??

Correct.

 

[2wheels]

OK, now back in civilization and photos are now visible.

It's a good show. Doors open at 11am and it's a good idea to get there early because the crowd build-up after lunch is considerable.
Another good idea is to take liquids into the hall because you wont be able to purchase any in the hall.

 

[steaminjungle]

The Honda Alien might look better once it comes out of its packing case.

Planning on going this Friday. Haven't seen anyone sitting on the display bikes, is it not allowed?

 

[2wheels]

About 50/50 allowed and not allowed Craig.

 

[2wheels]

Oh, at the Yamaha stand I asked about the FJ-09 and if it will be coming to Thailand.
"Maybe next year."

 

[Forest]

[h=3]anything at Honda about the 2015 VFR800X Crossrunner?[/h]

 

[2wheels]

anything at Honda about the 2015 VFR800X Crossrunner?

Not that I noticed; maybe Craig can check on that when he visits.

 

[CraigBKK]

No worries, will do.

 

[2wheels]

And this one too please Craig.



Suzuki's S40 Boulevard.

I asked recently at CMai Suzuki and was told 'maybe in New Year', but forgot to ask at the Expo.

 

[2wheels]

I've inserted a bit of background info re that Duke T.

 

[WarProfiteer]

Thanks for sharing these and doing the write up... great stuff!

 

[2wheels]

Thanks for sharing these and doing the write up

My pleasure (well, apart from the woeful WiFi at the Mariya 'Boutique' Hotel!

As an aside, there were hundreds of people signing contracts for new cars.
If this goes on for 11-12 days the industry will be very pleased indeed.







I think (and hope) Triumph will have made a 'killing' too.

 

[CraigBKK]

As an aside, there were hundreds of people signing contracts for new cars.

And setting themselves and their families up for potential credit problems in the future

 

[bigntall]

Anything of interest for us Dirty bike fanciers?

Yamaha just released a lovely WR250 and 250 FX dirt bikes for 2015. If anyone has a chance at the Yamaha reps could someone ask if they will be brought in?

Also a tip of the hat to the posters documenting the show, thank you.

 

[2wheels]

Anything of interest for us Dirty bike fanciers?

Another report shows that the Yamaha YZ250 is on show. :MG

 

[brake034]

Seems the 2015 Kawa Dtrackers will have a new fresh look with blacked out engine, my wife showed me a posting in her Facebook about it.....

The KLX will keep the alu colour engine.

[KTMphil]

A great show. Looks like there's complete documentation of all the new bikes that were at the show, what could be left?
