Can anyone update me on the possibility of some bikes "arriving" for sale in Thailand that don't attract huge duty, Kawasaki have dont ok with the Ninja 250 but what about the 500cc plus market, any models and dates known? |

Or you could wait just two weeks and see if Kawasaki does start selling the ER-6n here. 600cc and built here...good enough? Expect a price of around 280k (registered). |

I would not expect Kawasaki to introduce the ER-6n soon, surely not before March, into Thailand, matter of fact I would find it interesting to see how they will survive the global economic crisis. |

I rode the ER-6n at the Kawasaki showroom yesterday! Should be on sale in a week or two. Price...about 225K. |

I believe that the 225,000 Baht price for the Kawasaki ER-6n is without the registration cost. So the price on the road in Thailand at least if you want to ride legal, is still 280,000 Baht. |

Price includes registration. This is an official, dealer (manufacturer) sold, Thai made bike. Richard, don't confuse this with an import. It's a nice deal. But don't all hurry to get one, because I want mine soon! |

Maybe I got the words wrong, but I put my money down today anyway, and the only extras on top of the 225K, are about 600B for compulsory insurance and less than 1000B for the plate. Sorted. |

Well, it's still just one bike, but based on what I have read on another forum, these will be selling like hot cakes. If this bike is not your choice, the next thing is the Fazer 600 at twice the price. It's a start for sure but there's a long way to go before the market changes too much. I hope Honda will notice what is happening and bring some affordable models in; then we will start to have a choice. But I don't think many tears will be shed if some of those 'bigbike" shops start to struggle. We would be best rid of one or two of them. |

Does anyone know if they sell the F model of this bike ? |

Not in Thailand and I don't think they have plans to do so at the moment. But the naked version is very striking, I've had mine for 2 days and it's getting a lot of attention. |

Update to that last post. They are planning to have the ER6f in Thailand in about August and may be showing it at the motor show at BITEC in April. |
