Yes, the mark ups are quite high and there's usually no control

Why ah? I actually like the CBR650R. Less committed like the supersports but more comfortable and with full fairing for better wind protection. I think it is one of those last sport tourers that emphasise on sporty looks (and where I can reach the ground) rather than the fake sport tourers these days that try to look like ADVs and are all too high for normal humans. It reminds me of my old FZ6R.

Ah yes, they're as different as chalk and cheese. Sport tourer and a dedicated sport bike. You're right, very different.

The 350 is coming? Well, this is an interesting development...let's see if it really happens.

Yup, but don't necessarily mean they will bring in lor...maybe syok sendiri just wanna tease the public only

Yes, you're right. Probably due to income levels, and bad roads and maybe lack of service centres (I did mention 'probably'), they prefer small capacity, single cylinder bikes. But Yamaha is seen to be getting back into the single game too with the upcoming SR400 https://www.yamaha-motor.co.th/bigbike/sr400-2023/overview
