Boon Siew?

I've seen the NM4 offered on Mudah some time back already. Wonder if anyone rides those. Would be nice to hear of their riding experience with those bikes. Possibly recond bikes though or parallel imported new. But if it comes in officially, it will surely be interesting.

As always, price is always the key factor to numbers. BSH can go low volume but high margin or lower the price and we get to see more on the road since this is a niche model. My guess is if they bring it in officially, it will be the former. Limit the bike to those who can afford it, keep the numbers exclusive and earn more per bike. Plus, owners who pay lots for that bike would theoretically have perhaps one or two other bikes to ride and less likely to complain if something goes wrong (but then, this is a Honda and my guess is things seldom go wrong).

The XADV is so cute! But, it is not a small bike. Managed to sit on it during the tear down of the event and the seat height is even taller than my 600.

Dominar 400, even though having 400cc, is not a quick nor fast bike. Performance can almost be matched by the Pulsar 200. Somehow, it seems that it was built more for a slow and steady (emphasis on slow) long distance ride. Was researching the Dominar with my bro and we decided to look for another bike altogether.

This is the American Supercub 125 that will be launched in USA. Very different from the Thai version. Wonder if they will be sold alongside in Thailand. And...if Malaysia were to get these retro models, which one would come or would BSH sell both. Knowing how conservative BSH is, they might not even make it here!

Thai version is slightly different compared to the Indonesia version. Thai version is lower spec and probably cheaper. IMHO, this bike, if it makes it here, will not be for the general mass kapchai market but for those looking for retro bikes and of the middle and upper income levels who want to relive their childhood but on a modern and technologically newer package.

Yup. I second your motion! But, let's see if BSH can surprise us or not. So far, they've been on a roll so, I think anything can happen now...or nothing at all

Wish I could upgrade to the CBR650R but unfortunately, can't move my bike off without needing to pay back the bank... The CBR650R looks like a real badass machine!

I kinda like it as the headlights are mounted low and not on top with the handles. It doesn't have the normal kapchai look which to me, is nice

The CL500's exhaust is in a funny position...could get scratches from people trying to push the passenger foot peg by foot and it is right where the passenger's calf will be. Wonder if they have a plastic protection cover for the muffler or not as it could turn out to be pretty hot

Looks a little long...

If the Hawk comes here, it would probably be around Africa Twin pricing? That is an ugly swingarm though...wonder which bike that swingarm belongs to anyway

You know BSH lor, everything also they want to price up high high...

Hawk 7...now that's something that I would like. Yes an NT750 would be nice too

And...they don't let people sit on the display bikes unlike other brands...
