1 - 20 of 103 Posts
i was snooping around the local honda dealership ...... and was able to talk to the sales guy when he wasnt busy....
honda sales guy said the cbr205r's bound for USA will be coming from the plant in Thailand....
isn't Thailand close to Japan?
the events goin on in Japan are getting worse and spreading, it could halt delivery of cbr250r's to USA

thats teh info i been waiting for. at this time it only makes sense that the quake in Japan will do such a thing....
tsunami warning for southern Thailand has been issued, i think the cbr250r plant in Thailand is in the southern region. anyone know exactly where the plant is?

Its really surprising how many sales people don't know where their inventory is coming from. It could be that or they just don't want any questions as to why the bike is coming from India/Thailand. I'm willing to bet good money its coming from Thailand.

my dealer said delivery for mid-april, but he's pressing for an early release approval. we'll see if thats actual fact or not. haven;t heard anything about a delay due to the disaster overseas

According to the 2011 Honda CBR 250R Press Kit......
"The CBR250R will be launched by Thai Honda in 2011 as a global model for export to a wide range of places, including the ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) countries, Japan, Europe, North America and Australia."

So are they trying to say they are going to supply all the CBR250's for the world?

All coming from Thailand is my understanding. This is a world release model, so they don't need to build them in other countries to meet different emissions standards. I think this is good news for us if we want to mod our bikes as they will all have to meet a common denominator of the most stringent requirements (ie California?) and therefore leave lots of room to play with and get more out of the bike while still having a vehicle that is better for the environment.

Sounds about in line with what my dealer told me.

Alright i guess its pretty much confirmed in may they shall arrive. Even though some factories in the states may shut down and mostly all honda plants of shut down, i guess its safe to assume that all parts off the cbr250r are made in thailand.

Tooled in Thai Honda
That is what I read. The CBR250R is a brand new design with a brand new designed engine. I doubt highly that all parts are not made in the Thai plant. I'm afraid though they underestimated the demand and there may be major shortages, a great fear indeed because I want mine so bad I can almost taste it.
