34th Bangkok Motor Show

Here we are, another year, another Motor Show. Of course yours truly couldn't miss it, so I went the very first day to check it out and bring you all the new bikes available in Thailand. I'll throw in some free eye-candy to sweeten the experience even more.


Let's start with Yamaha







The Yamaha Sark 135i has been voted "bike of the year", for its class of course. Will it be our next family bike? hmmm






Weird looking electrobike from this company...


this one's not too bad

WTF?

UDA motor??

please note the very handy hand brake
 Now off to Kawasaki...

D-Tracker 250...looking good


in motard version

Z1000....holy moly
 A pleasant surprise came with this new model, the Z250. Absolutely stunning in my opinion.





Ninja 250

Z250 in black
 I love the new frame and swingarm of the ER6-n, but the tank and the headlight are a bit too futuristic for my classic taste.
ER6-n 
Versys 650


Z250 again


Now is Suzuki's time. They decided it was a good time to hop on the 250cc bandwagon, but look what they came up with! The Inazuma 250. A complete design FAIL. A hotch potch of classic lines with some modern bits.  waaaacchhh






Benelli is back, well...kind of. Now they're Chinese actually and is distributed together with Keeway and SYM.


 

The Keeway TX200 got some good reviews from Thai riders

Keeway RK...also not bad

Benelli 600, made in China and assembled in Thailand


eeehhh, HELLO! Benelli was established in Pesaro in 1911!
the big brother, 898 (?), made in Italy, assembled in Thailand

it looked decent enough




what is it with those modern UGLY front lights?!? ER6n, Honda MSX, Inazuma 250 just to name a few

you thought I forgot the eye candy?


Honda
CRF 250
