Who in their right mind would pay this crazy price

[JimmyBoy]

First ive never had a big bike , so may be i'm missing some thing , ive just seen this Thai advert and I have to ask my self who in their right mind would pay this crazy price of 1,680,000 Baht (£ 34,000 / $ 53,000 ) for a second hand motor bike ?

They're about $20,000 new, unless it's the real super high end package, and then it can creep up to $30,000. If Thailand is like here (Philippines), there's about 100% duty. Even so, that price seems quite high.

[rickschoppers]

Ridiculous (the price, not you Davis)..............obviously overpriced no matter what upgrades it has.

The good point is that they are so slow and so heavy that you chances to die are lower !

slow and so heavy

but making a defeaning noise... typical american.

is that a definition

[FailSafe]

The bike doesn't appeal to me, but the advertisement says it has a green book and a lot of accessories- that price is in the ballpark for Thailand.

Rigger would know.

[Rigger]

TIT
They are around 1.5 to 1.6 mill new for that model and over 2 mil for the CVO I think last time I looked

[Rigger]

Looking at that it is a CVO so was 2 million baht new.
Don't like the paint but have seen some better looking CVOs in better colors.

Harley's are for fat old men who like wearing new leather.

..and using lots of acronyms instead of real words. BWTF

So which one is it, no balls or no money

1,680,000

Jesus. 1.6m for 16,000 baht's worth of tech.

[Rigger]

Thailand is expensive for any luxury items except beer and beaver.
I don't find that price to off putting, I would have about a million baht invested (spent) into each one of my bikes which to me is ok because I don't intend on selling either of them.
It really depends on your earning capacity
Two months oil hand salary = CVO Harley
Two months school teacher = Honda wave

Most the Harley haters on the net are people that don't ride anyway or they are broke ass cnuts that can't afford one and most have never ridden one.

[FailSafe]

Yeah, I have to agree- while I'm not a fan of HD, I don't rip on anyone for their choice of bike (tease, yes, but honestly denigrate, no)- I see the appeal, but I don't feel it (if I did I'd be riding one)- at least we're all on two wheels.

[Rigger]

For me the only compliant would be the cost of upgrading a Harley engine to get decent performance. A stock Harley doesn't do much for me but add cams, heads, full pipe and Fuel controller and you start to get some where.
Next toy for me is a night rod with apes and forward controls and decent set of pipes. That way I will have a quick handling cruiser with out having to sacrifice reliability or a shit load of money upgrading the engine.

[FailSafe]

What do you get out of that at the wheel- 110hp? You're still going to put money into the engine- you'd do it if you got 200hp bone-stock- you won't be able to help yourself- once dicking around with engine performance is in your blood, you're hooked.

I told myself I wasn't going to do anything to my bike- that lasted about 5 minutes...

[Rigger]

Of course you would do the cams pipe and intake would add a few more HP maybe even heads and build from there

[Exige]

Just don't buy Harley period.
If still you want to hanker after performance and ride big ass bikes.
Try the Victory motorcycles. They come with 106 cubic inch motors. Way bigger than any Harley you'll get from the local dealer in Bangkok. Which is mostly 96 cubic inch.

The one above is 110 cubic inch
But carry on

^ CVO/ Touring models are yes, but not all models are, as the Victory models. All 106.

Travelmate being a cock again....

Who in their right mind would pay this crazy price

Dunno......but I do know Eliminator would be up for a backy

Makes your last statement a load of crap
