forget about honda. Honda japan think moving their production from china to india will solve their problem. They follow USA = go to hell.

So now, between made in China vs India, which one to take?

I don't know what are new ones coming, I am not interested in those big bikes except scooter. However, I am surely seeing stock being replenished very slooooowly at Big Wings. Compared to before there was zero movement on big bikes or CBU bikes. Also pretty definite about the ADV350 as they are beginning to compile list of takers.

Let’s just say I have faith in Honda Thailand to give the finger to BSH on request to custom build 250 from 330 for a really really small market, a trouble proven futile in the case of Forza… they cannot adopt the 250 from Forza cos that engine is already phased out. 

Fark SG lah not same comparison. 😬

If BSH die die want to sell it premium due to success of XADV750, there’s a good chance they may make it work with the ADV350 at just below the price point of a CB500X

Seriously, pricing of Modenas Kawasaki is causing a stir in the market.

Versys 650 going at 36k, same price as Honda CB500X.
Many will go for Versys.

If ADV350 goes at 35k, many will think many times over except rare fools like me that want only scooter.

I am only into santai santai makan angin sana sini not into zoom zoom broom broom riding.
Even on higher cc bike, I am going 80-90km/h.

Also not a person into style. Just want a scooter with high enough handlebar to clear my long legs and easy ride, with plenty storage under my arse.
Hahahaha... not hard core lah... blame my 183cm height with long legs.
Tested a lot of scooters only the ADV150/160 have handlebar that cleared my legs.

The 750 is too big not enough storage under my arse so not considering it.

Booked the Forza / Xmax for it's larger storage but both their handlebar will hit my legs on tight turns.

When heard rumors of ADV350.. I know my mind is made.

It's in the pipeline... but since it's a CBU model, arrival will be affected do to unresolved beurocracy in BSH...

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

price frenly in india; not in msia lol...

May 2024 also coming liao and Big Wing still selling kapchai... sad...

Rebels and CBR650 are trickling in, but not other models.

Some says the AP holder also play a part with BSH and not just Honda Thai / Jap.

I am still patiently waiting for ADV350 after giving up the Forza that arrived 1.5 years after booking

do you guys think boon siew honda will announce the 2024 cb/cbr650r at Malaysia Autoshow 2024?

the price... lol
this time sure got stock?

Ok la. At least launch smthing,

Hongleong ymh doesnt even bother....

so many questions about their pricing decision..

adv 350 - way too overpriced, might as well get zontes 350
nx500 - also overpriced, versys 650 is the better choice at this price
cb750 hornet - similar retail price with gsx 8s but suzuki have been giving 10k rebate for the past 6 months, making their bike price 40k.. also cb750 need add on quickshifter (no idea if it come default in our country)

arguably the hornet has more power compared to the suzuki, still the pricing is still not that good IMO

but maybe because 'H' tag they can do this?
im a believer that market disruption has happened with cheaper bikes (china) having the same if not better build quality.. with ready stocks

As a Honda fan - kinda insulted u compared us to "Cap epal" hahahha. (sorry Cap Epal fans)

for the price - Xadv is as above ..
for the NX500 - not too far off the CB500 it is replacing
for the transalps.... i think that pricing is kinda sweet spot for those wanting an alternative to the Africa twin (which is almost double the price)
kinda agree on the Hornet thou - with that price, have many more option

To your point of 30k below... then everyone will flock to this bike instead of Xmax or forza...
