Called in to Honda Big Wing, Chiang Mai today and they had this 500X Adventure in the showroom, all set up for serious touring.



300,000 baht.

I was told that they will have the NC 750 …



… and the CT1300 …



… in June.

That rim tape is expensive!

Looks like it's just got the crash bars which are 10K each and you need 2 sets. so that 20k before you start.
I'm still not convinced about them.
those panniers are quality kit though, probably 50K , bsacbob will know, I think he had them on his Versys. 10K for the screen maybe, it all adds up unfortunately.

3k for the tape

They didn't want to talk about a CRF450L Bob; apart from a 'maybe' (as before).

Yes, he said the boxes were 50,000 inc the racks.
Givi screen is 8,000 baht.

However, for what it's worth, I did find this comment on 'ThumperTalk'.

Well after my input the CRF450L is going into production!"

Interesting as there is a total gap in the market here for a larger size / more power super moto..

 

[bsacbob]

Write to Honda everyone knows that apart from them, all they want to push is super scoots
