Sometimes the universe works in mysterious ways.
I have been saving up to try and get back up to a mid range motorcyle again. A successful sale of my Benelli TNT300 here on this group, left me with some cash and a bit more saved up, but not enough to buy a new Honda CB500F which I had decided was my next bike.
So yesterday I was on my way to view for a second time a 2 year old one that I could afford, although it would need new tyres etc to bring up to spec.
Got a message in the morning, to delay viewing time by 30 minutes, no problem, but having a bit more time decided to pop in to Big Wing to just confirm to me that the F was the one for me, rather than the more popular X.
Main reason for posting this was because many report a less than positive experience with Big Wing. So I looked at both bikes, Khun Tan approached and agreed I could sit on the bikes, he then informed me that the motor show promotion on these bikes finished on Monday 30th.
Promotion:
10,000 baht voucher to purchase accessories
PT card for petrol or oil with 5,000 baht credit on it.
Free First class insurance. Registration and tax included
100 baht petrol voucher at Niyom Panich shop
Free Sena Bluetooth communication system. Cost 11,500 baht at Lazada. This I am prepared to sell, as the box contains 1 and you need 2 to communicate. Good for tour groups I guess, but I do not like the distraction when riding.
Added up this is a really good discount on the purchase price of 210,000 baht.
But needed to be done by Monday at the latest and I did not have enough money.
We have Niyom Leasing said Khun Tan, only 3.75% per annum.
I had enough documents with me to convince him that I was credit worthy and long and short, he arranged for a visit to the main shop near the airport and signed me up. A red bike was in stock and reserved on 5000 baht deposit. They told me they would check me out and contact me on Monday. 1 hour later I was in Central Festival and a phone call informed me all approved and could collect the bike today. Which with a bit of logistics, getting my PCX back home and taking a Yellow bus to town for 20 baht from Doi Saket. I did.
Bike well prepared, even tyre pressures correct to the book, so a very happy and unexpected experience. If any one else wants to take advantage of the promotion, better get down there tomorrow, but maybe depending on Sales to date Honda might extend the offer. So a Big Thumbs up for Big Wing, for the buying experience. As for ongoing service, we will see.
