35th Bangkok Motor Show

Another year, another Motorshow in the books. This year gave us some pretty exciting new bikes, such as the mighty new SR400 with fuel injection, the massive Monster and the surprisingly cool BMW 9T.

We at the Omega Racer team managed to go there on the last day and really enjoyed this sea of bikes, cars and girls of course. We did miss some manufacturers, such as MV Agusta (I really wanted to see the F3 and the Rivale...love em) and the Thai brands 'Tiger' and 'Stallions'. Also, no Chinese/Korean/Taiwanese brands this year, apart from Benelli, which is 'Italian' on the surface, but very Chinese underneath.

Enjoy the show.

New in Thailand is the 3 wheeler Yamaha, Tricity

Personally, I miss the classic lines of the old bikes.

BMW R25 if I remember correctly

The new Yamaha R15

Much better in red

Eye candies on Yamaha's futuristic stand.

R1...doesn't excite me one bit.

Now, this gets my juices flowing! MT09

YESSSSSS!!!!! SR400, 265.000Baht

Yamaha 50th anniversary edition, 285.000Baht

Apart from the slightly messy looking fuel injector and slightly bigger side covers to house the fuel pump, the SR remains a beacon of classic styling in a sea of modern 'transformer-like' offerings.

Let's go my dear...

Kawasaki Ninja650

Hugely popular ER6n

Z1000...what is it going to transform into?

Z250

 Suzuki came back with its iconic and very powerful Raider 150R

Inazuma 250...might be a good bike, but stylistically a fail I think

The many faces of the VanVan
Muffler FAIL!

I like the smooth lines of the Gladius, but for that price there are better options out there

Very nice in black and red

 The ubiquitous Honda Wave...number 1 bike in Thailand

Excellent value for money...Honda CB650R

 From the sick minds of Honda's R&D comes this...this...thing

No gears, no fun?

What the hell is this? A giant sleeping pill, that's what it is!

 ZZZZzzzzzz

Oh yeah, Harley was there as well...

Shin Ping Zing, that's 'Benelli' in Chinese. Believe it.

The new Monster looked really big to me

Hello Honda...are you looking?

ART!

Wasn't very impressed with the finish of the exhaust

Eye candy bonus for ya...

Nice ass nr. 1

Nice ass nr.2,
 and Ben's having some fun

 

 Nice ass nr.3

How can you go from a total design disaster...

to an instant classic like the 9T?

 It fits me like a glove. Pity for the crazy price tag of 1.1 million Baht

 Yamaha Bolt

 Much better like this...
