Title: Cheap Oz Honda
Post by: noworries on March 13, 2012, 10:04:53 PM
Honda in Oz are setting the cat amongst the pigeons with the launch of their CB125E bike at $2000. 125cc single-cylinder aircooled donk, disk on front and drum brake on rear, twin shocks on rear, about 135kg and comes with 12 months warranty. Not a bad looking bit of naked kit, really. Don't know where it's made. Going to be interesting to see how this goes as a bit of a learner/fun/ride 'er to work/knock-about bike. Going to rock second-hand prices, anyway :-)

I'll be excited to see people putting big bore kits  and making mini-fighters from them. You can laugh, but it'll happen.........

I see... 125 is $2000, 400 is $10,000. Hmmm... makes it harder to justify the $10k price when they bring out a bike for $2k.

A guy on Netrider is reporting a $2600 ride-away on the little Honda. Where's it built? South America? Anyone know?
