The nsr 150s are very popluar in big asia cities with sml spaces like SGP and HK as few of my friends have them and when it first came out they were all sold out!!gree small cc bikes are made in asian places to save on costs , look at the NSR 150 that was out of the thailand factory but also sold at about $6K on the road
slowly the ZZR has crept up and is now near $9K on the road now thats just wrong
That is very correct. So is the Kawasaki 'KRR150 Kips' which I doubt anyone here will know about.hidepenny wrote:The nsr 150s are very popluar in big asia cities with sml spaces like SGP and HK as few of my friends have them and when it first came out they were all sold out!!
but i just don't understand how a 250cc can cost up to 9k in australia
You could find those Kips in Asia, ex Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam but in very very bad conditions coz they have no replacement parts.RG wrote:That is very correct.

Doesn't surprise me that they are made in Thailand, I was actually expecting it to happen earlier.
Alot of Toyota and Honda cars are made in Thailand too, and now they are rolling out cars that are made in India.

DId it also come with a complimentary ping pong ball?Johnnie5 wrote:Picked up a 06 model ZZR250 today
looking at the headstock and i see a sticker and it says
Made in Thailnd
WTF is going on there ?
No replacement parts? well it depends on where you are, if you are in the remote mountains in Thailand, of course there are no replacement parts.Tuckerbag wrote: You could find those Kips in Asia, ex Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam but in very very bad conditions coz they have no replacement parts.
Same thing, depends on which part of Asia, bikes in Malaysia cost 3 times more than in Singapore.Tuckerbag wrote:But in Asia a 120cc scooter costs like 2000 USD
