I believe the price is so high at the moment because at the moment complete bikes are being imported from India and are therefore subject to the high import duty for luxury goods. Originally the bikes were supposed to arrive in CKD form and be assembled byTiger Motors, thereby avoiding the higher tax. The prices were going to be approx 130,000 bht for the 350 and 180,000 bht for the 500. If the importer and Tiger Motors can resurrect the planned arrangement we can expect to see the bikes marketed at the lower prices. Price in India for the 350 is 48350 baht and the 500 is 70000 baht, both plus on road charges. So you can see the huge taxes the Thai goverment is loading on these bikes. |

Now I am really confused. In February RE's imported from India were available for sale in Thailand - but at a high price. So presumably at this point they had passed the Thai emissions standards |

I like some "proof" of the “special” fuel injection system before I buy.....could very well be another scam-excuse to hike-up prices. TIT |

This is not about the Royal Enfield but about EFI (related to the topic). |

Sorry News but you wrong here. 350 Classic is 55193baht equivelant in India on the road. 500 Classic is 70306baht equivelant. I Indian and know what price is here. Also, according to RE marketing, RE distributor in Thailand did have agreement for Tiger to assemble RE bikes. I suggest you phone Khun Phariya at Tiger who will put you straight on these matter. Unfortunately you get your facts wrong. Tiger also had agreement with LML to assemble their Scooters but nothing started yet |
