thaicbr Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 Hilli. Looks good. Better without the biturbo sticker. What do you think of the K-sped rearsets? I wasn't that impressed with the demo bike ones at the Central bike week. Did they lock tight your one's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rearssets are quite ok pulled them hard and nearly no movement, so i got them as i been there already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ukjamie Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 Went to Lad Prao 64 and Lat Prow 44 Honda stealers today! Lad Prao 64 had 1 red/silver ABS and wanted an astonishing 145k Lad Prao 44 (much nicer dealership) had Grey/Silver and Red/Silver ABS for 130k (NO free helmet or jacket or roadside). Would not discount as they said this was the price they are getting for exporting them! Im not in any hurry so im going to wait. My target price is 120k for ABS with 2 yrs theft and plate/tag ..........I would like a free HJC with that too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taichiplanet Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 Motorcycle USA does a CBR250R Vs Ninja 250R. Nothing new but interesting to see the comments. They dis the ABS to the point (in the video) of calling it dangerous and don't recommend it even for new riders! Ninja wins 3-1 Though the comparison video is sponsored by Kawasaki! http://www.motorcycle-usa.com/9/9134/Motorcycle-Article/Honda-CBR250R-vs-Kawasaki-Ninja-250R.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
appropriate Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 ...I would like a free HJC with that too! Good helmet that HJC. Unfortunately they were only with the first 1000 bikes sold. The platinum package with roadside assistance was a promotion for bikes bought before Dec 31st. Only heard of one customer who got it after this date, and that was by a week or so. It's a good job you're not in a hurry... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kelboy Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 its a good bike but when you must payover 130000 its time to spend a bit more and get a better bike 100000 and 115000 abs was a good price for this bike but now they can go <deleted>> themselfs. i was going to buy the abs but i'll wait 6 month and get a 650 kw for just over 100000 more and all the trimmings and a SET PRICE OK TIT BUT ITS MY MONEY they have one shop we have HUNDREDS. if you go to BK and get a DW and next week the price has gone up you go some where else ie MD. OH PS the colours are slill shit. also why buy a bike and have to change things on it if you dont like IT dont get IT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiffer, cant comment on the after service stuff at Honda LP 44 as I currently ride a Yamaha and it was my first trip there! All I can say is the set up looked much better and more official at Lad Proa 44, they have a big AC showroom and had about 6 CBR 250's on display. Its actually on LP road next to Soi 44. They told me they have another location at Mo Chit and supply bikes to the smaller sub dealers so they appear to be a big operation. I'll probably take my bike there for service as it will be my local dealer..... I live at Huay Kwang. Gonna give JR motors a call this week to get their price. They still have the non ABS advertised for 100k......... so hopefully the ABS will be cheaper there than 130k. Noticed this on the JR motors web site, looks like some kind of power box! Can anyone translate it properly (not google)?? http://www.jrmotor.com/index.php?lay=boardshow&ac=webboard_show&No=1294037&WBntype=3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thaicbr Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Why paint the fairing bits when you can vinyl them...then you can go back to standard if ya want as well.. If you went to the Central bike show and looked at the Moth/club517 bike all the orange was vinyl and looked great.. Most nearly all the Auto vinyl shops can do the job.. But hey up to you.

Hili Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Had a trip to Ssattahip today not felt much improvement of speed nor acceleration with the new pipe. Could someone post the speeds of each gear at 7k rpm so i can compare, forgot when i was on stock pipe. Big improvement are the rearsets much better shifting and foot position.
