Honda CTX700NE

[2wheels]

Big Wing Chiang Mai advised me today that this bike will be available from them 'in three months'.
It will be fully imported in 'Pearl Fadeless White' or 'Matt Gunpowder Metalic Black' (no red).

There will be two models;

CTX700NE (6 speed normal clutch change) for 349,000 baht.

The CTX700NDE (automatic two multiple wet clutches) for 406,000 baht (both include VAT).

This will give an idea of what the Thai bikes are like.

I was ridden the NC-700 from the same line last year for 2 days. It was a real pleasure, very easy to handle and a nice ride. It was very funny to see which work other bikers has to do on a parking ground or when rolling backwards. The NC does it like an light enduro. I can imagine, it could be the only Big Bike for me as a real Small Bike freak.

Thanks Harry; interesting comments.

Honda's definitely killing it with their pricing.

A very good price for a top spec imported bike, this is how much triumph should be selling the bonnie for

They'll never be successful with their New Concept if they're as fugly as the bike above...

Only the S looks decent; the X would be my choice because of better suspension but it looks like a penguin too far from the shore.

I'm all for practicality and the idea behind these bikes but the CTX is for nerds.

Apparently orders are now being taken, for delivery mid-year.

Yesterday they advised me … order with a 40% deposit now and delivery from Japan takes 3 months.
