i dono bout tax stuff,
mebe got indian export tax or smthing?
but produce in thai definitely hv some tax advantage when imported here. / south east asia

price of new ugly mt07 mebe  will increase when launched here, current price oredi 38k++,

If we are talking about the 50k current price, its a 20k difference,  it goes from "out of their god damn mind" to "wow this bike looks pretty good, cheaper than the big 4 too" range.

Yup, that's probably the strategy they are employing, to flood the market with bikes at a lower price. It is a cycle. More bikes in the market, more parts dealers will spring up and more independent mechanics will also start doing these bikes. But it has to start with the importer/distributor. If they want to just sell 2 or 3 bikes a month and shake legs for the rest of the month, that market share growth and the benefits that come with it wont come about. The product is fairly decent but the price was not commensurate with what the products offer...until now.

There are more exciting products on the way like the Meteor 350 as well as the cruiser based on the 650, oh plus the scram411 (which looks way better than the Himalayan it is based on). Those new ones will only get noticed if the current bikes are able to storm the beachhead and create inward growth into the market. Once the brand is established, then only slowly push up the prices. We need to understand also, that the distributor needs proceeds from the margin to be plowed back into providing better customer service.

I'm hoping that the new team really does justice for this brand. And, if you haven't heard the exhaust note of the 650 twin, you should 

If want to start cheaply, can consider the Meteor 350. The brown colour is really nice. At 27k plus (highest, cash price).

Yup, if looked at from a purely performance standpoint, it won't seem worth it but as a concept, perhaps it would work. RE is usually not about performance but more of the lifestyle and the riding experience it gives. Rarely about outright acceleration or speed as most reviewers have pointed out. As for me, I really like the Conti GT but too much hassle to let go of my SV for it. The Meteor seems nice for a cruiser though. Hmmm, there aren't any new branded cruisers with warranty for around the price right?

Nothing wrong with paying for style, IMHO. One thing I will never understand about many Malaysian riders is the scene of judging when products offered are not solely based on price-to-performance and trying to push other people toward that mindset. Overseas, this is not such a big deal and the 'tambah sikit dapat...' and 'baik beli...' crowds are almost non-existent - you can just buy whatever you like and are encouraged to do so. I really do wonder why this is the case. 

I myself am not a performance-based rider, so I applaud RE for bringing in these bikes at a lower price compared to before. If we want a wider variety of bikes in Malaysia, then we have to start accepting that riding is not all about paying the least amount of money for the biggest HP and torque figures that amount of money can buy.

In the end, if the person who bought the bike is happy with it, then just be glad for them. It's their money to spend. But on the other hand, do criticise them if they complain about pickup and topspeed AFTER buying one of these 'gaya' machines lah, since that is proof of uninformed purchase.

this wobble at low speed, can happens to any motorbike,

even my kapcai does it, but its over 10yo oredi,

many re owners reported this issue,
so the re parts wears out faster n causes this??

Yup, agreed. I think people don't mind the price but at least give it comparable spec (meaning better performance, maybe twin front discs, tubeless tyres and their tripper system) to the competition and better build quality.

20k expectation is quite unreasonable unless they have good cable with government and/or CKD facilities on our soil.

Also IINM you can't buy Versys 250 brand new anymore and the ones that were brought in by old Kawi distributors lack ABS that the Scram has, which may be a dealbreaker for some. Maybe if the rumors of the Suzuki V-Strom 250 SX are true, that will be the safer, Japanese-brand choice since it is fully equipped at the cost of reduced off-road capability.

macam macam ada...

motorbike owner's worst nightmare...

Looks real sweet! Just wondering when they will upgrade the instrumentation of the GT and Inter as per the Super Meteor and Shotgun. Hope they give those 2 slightly more updated instrumentation.

This bike somehow  doesn't feel as classic as the 350, 500
