How much do you charge to 'bok soi'? I will go for B20 as the ride looks like it would be a blast...

obsidian · 25-03-2006, 04:03 PM

nice. how did you happen to come across it?

poolcleaner · 25-03-2006, 04:04 PM

Fuck I'd like one of those!!!

ChiangMai noon · 25-03-2006, 04:43 PM

Bought it 2 weeks ago.
It was parked outside the Irish bar in chiang mai, (owner was hurrying back to England, so I got it for a measlie 45,000 baht).

Frisco Frankie diagnosed some of the issues it had and we took it down to his local mechanics who have got it running beautifully all for 700 baht.

I think that is the CBF model with the comfier seat.

It's a bloody CBR squirrell

NickA · 25-03-2006, 08:55 PM

I don't know much about motorbikes, but looking at the handlebars I'd guess that was a Honda CBR 400, weighs about 163 kg, has a 6-spedd constant mesh gearbox, gives about 50 bhp at 11,500 rpm with a twin spar aluminium chassis and telescopic forks at the front and monoshock suspension at the back.

Pink would have been nicer though!

friscofrankie · 25-03-2006, 08:55 PM

Pretty bike, But the fuckin' things too goddam small fer me. Got et all crouched up and compressed just to get up on 'er. Doubt I could get unfolded after the ride... Sounds sa-weet though.

I agree,hell my frame alone on my 900 is about 5' long but is comfortable to ride, between my bad knees and bad back, I would be hurting big time on that litlle 400. It being a CBR 400 does make it a bit better for getting off the line but I damn sure wouldn't want to ride it any distance. Hell it would take you forever to get ANYWHERE on that thing. Great for a little city cruiser but that's about it. You still couldn't kick it down and get outta any real shit with it.

mrsquirrel · 26-03-2006, 12:11 PM

You have the cb1 type seat fitted to it rather than the cbr racing seat setup.

Eliminator · 26-03-2006, 09:16 PM

you too cmn, you have a great bike for running around the city but that's about it. Your fuckin little bike would be gasping for air for any long run and I would think that you would have the brains to admit that. Your bike is nice but hell I wouldn't have the damn thing for anything but running around the city or my little town on. To me, it's just a better version of the honda steed (piece of shit CHOPPERRRRR) because it gives you that extra bump in the low range, other than that, i's just too damn SMALL.

ChiangMai noon · 26-03-2006, 09:19 PM

Not biting dear.

But that thing in your avatar surely couldn't do 170 kmh.
I bit.

Eliminator · 26-03-2006, 09:24 PM

No it won't do 170kph but it will do 145mph STOCK all day long.

ChiangMai noon · 26-03-2006, 09:31 PM

Until 3 weeks ago I was riding a CBR 150, toy version of my current bike.
last yeaR I drove it to Bangkok...2 years ago to Butterworth in malaysia.

From ChiangMai of course.
Petchabun several times.

Thing was sharpish and reliable.

2,000 km in 3 days.
But I am very tiny.

That' ain't fast.

Anyway. That bike is just right for CMN. He's not a big chap and he enjoys riding it. And, as it's a Honda it'll be reliable and cheap to look after.

Good choice mate (shit colour though).

Eliminator · 26-03-2006, 09:39 PM

No, I'm just giving CMN shit, it's a nice bike and if wants to ride that bugger to wherever, then more poower to him. I just don't feel safe on something like that and would be hurting for days if I did a 1 dayer on it.
