Pattaya46 Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Uh? A strange and expensive bike Not for me, but if they sell that, there must be a market for it..? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ktm jeff Posted June 2, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 2, 2020 I dont know who , or where , this bike is made , but Ryuka released their version last year. This Honda looks very similar. But costs nearly twice the price. 60 to 70K would be about right. The Ryuka has more aggressive tires , and looks to be more off-road capable. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post JonnyF Posted June 2, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 2, 2020 Looks OK, but expensive. If you want a "go anywhere" type of bike then a KLX150 would be better and it's 6,000 cheaper as well. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktm jeff Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 I like the looks. Funky. It is lower than the KLX 150 , and so will appeal to some but it has more style than function. Honda is just trading on the old CT name from years ago. They were a dual range transmission bike. Sadly Honda nowadays are just trading on past glories.

alx123 Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Ah so Honda decided to put ABS on a funny looking moped instead of their more popular 125-150cc scooters/motorbikes? Make sense. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Issanman Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 (edited) The price seems very high, but it does come with fuel injection, ABS, LED lighting, and legendary Honda Cub toughness. it seems they left out the dual-range transmission of the original CT90. The Honda pipe is tucked-in just fine, compared to the Ryuka copy. Edited June 3, 2020 by Issanman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea to be honest, could be 46k baht, this is in Thai and translated by Google. I find it more and more difficult to use Thai Google translation, it seem to get worse and not better, I think it's the Thai slang that they use. Some official and formal texts are translated quite well... ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricTh Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 I think Honda Scoopy is much nicer but I wish to have a more powerful version of Scoopy but with same design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Denis Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 So that Honda CT125 costs exactly the same as what I payed for my full-option new PCX two years ago. That's crazy! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope you are sitting down. 95,900 Baht for the red one and 108,900 Baht for the kaki one. Yes , they look the same bike to me , so who knows why ity 108,900. These prices are crazy. A bike that would have sold as a fun/funky town/shopping bike is now off everyones list. I have no idea whats going on at Honda nowadays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now the price seems to be between 96K and 109K. Go figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eisfeld Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 Honda continues with their "Cub House" small cc bike marketing strategy. So far, I think it failed. The extremely overpriced Monkey didn't sell at all. I see none on the streets, really none at all. The Supercub? Very very rarely. And those Cub House showrooms? Empty whenever I looked into one. Honda is trying with this strategy to become more of a fashion and style brand. But that's not what Honda as a brand means to most. It means well priced, well built and reliable vehicles with huge dealer network and easy to get parts. I wonder how long they will pursue this path or if it'll actually work at some point. Maybe all these bikes are just failing because they are single seaters? They make them look like utilitarian bikes but why not include at least an easily attachable pillion seat? Ah, I don't get it... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
