BigBikeBKK Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 apprently is is being offered at 112,000 with delivery in March At that price I may go for one The "R" or the "L"? I'm assuming "L" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnyF Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 The R would be about 250k and not road legal. 112k for the L (registered) sounds about right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRS1 Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Wonder if the internal gearing is going to remain the same as the cbr 250. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Familyonthemove Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 The R would be about 250k and not road legal. 112k for the L (registered) sounds about right. The 250R is 310,000 - at the Bangkok show today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madjbs Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 It's a shame they aren't going to release a proper off road trail bike like the CRF250x. Instead we are stuck either will a trail bike like the CRF250L/KLX250 or a full on motocross bike like the CRF250R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 250R is 310,000 - at the Bangkok show today Yeah a bit higher than I expected, it is a full on race ready motocross bike though, not far off the UK RRP so not that bad really. They're already available from places like DirtShop though so not really massive news being able to buy one of these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taninthai Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Hi thought you wanted a dtracker....lol cannot pre order in krabi yet no final release date yet just some time in march Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sydneycraig Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 And this is a new bike right, not replacing an old model... I think as I'm not going to be mostly on road would do nicely? Never been on trails but seems there are some good ones in Phuket so will have to give it a try! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackjones Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 I am looking forward to this bike being available but I am a little concerned how that wee cheeky scottish chap in Bangkok will cope with another rival to the Kawasakis. He is still quite upset about the CBR 250 actually being called a CBR and now this new model will be called a CRF but will have the engine from a CBR. Oh dear oh dear.

taninthai Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Yep same here was gonna get a klx 250 2 months ago then saw this Honda and decided to wait if you do more road riding than trails just change the tires but for me most use will be in jungle trails.....

wana Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 And yep I was on for a dtracker but this looks like it fits my needs and saves me a bit of beer money i have also heard it should be faster than a d-tracker as well,should be good for thailand potholes theres some terrible ones up in lam luk ka area that would suit a dirt bike better than a road bike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sydneycraig Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 How much are would it cost to get some road tyres fitted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motocrosser Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Looks like it will be sold with options for aftermarket bits. With the speculation of it being cheaper than a klx you could afford to make it loo like this straight from the showroom floor for a similar price? Would be great if you could get one looking like this one,for on the road and off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't really want to be dealing with the beach guys at pingpong!! theres loads of people renting d- trackers search for www.bangkok-motorbike-rentals.com ,bangkok-bikes-rentals.com or siam wheels.com if your in bangkok,siam-wheels is more like a members club than a shop though or you can go to pattaya and deal with the beach guys ,not all have d-trackers but some do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking into cams already. i dont think the dirt bike will outsell the cbr 250 and those sales were something like 400/ 1 sold comparing 250+ cc bikes with scooters but you can never be sure what will be a hit in a market like thailand ,apparently the honda nc 700 that everyone hates got more pre-orders at the bike festival than anything else amazing thailand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VocalNeal Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 apparently the honda nc 700 that everyone hates got more pre-orders at the bike festival than anything else Amazing thailand Probably because it was more expensive..... Edit: Or it is the pre-order speculative market. Like ordering a Porsche or Ferrari and then selling it on at a markup to someone who doesn't want to wait.
