Hello from Pattaya, Thailand.

Hyper Thai

Welcome, have been riding the Hyper since last May here in Thailand.

You may want to try a couple of the locations in BKK, I still saw Hypers for sale and at the same old price. They still list on their web site.

I suspect if they are no longer making it here, the import taxes will make it non competitive. Taxes can add 30 - 40% to the price if imported in Thailand.

It was the great price that got my attention. Up until they started building here the prices were just out to lunch for any of the imported machines.

Hello everyone,

My name is Phillip, or as the Thai's say it 'Fileeep!' I am Australian but have been living in Thailand for nearly 8 years now and in that time Ducati has moved here to assemble their bikes.

I took the Strada for a test ride in Perth, Western Australia last month and just loved it....done deal...so I went into Ducati in Pattaya to order one....No hab! they have now stopped assembling the Strada here but still sell the Motard.

I am told, they are basically the same bike but the Motard is a bit taller in the seat and comes without the extras....

I am heading into Ducati for a test ride tomorrow...

The 2014 price for the Strada was 549,000 Thai baht and the 2015 price for the Motard is 449,000 Thai baht.

Had a look around for a second hand Strada but none around, they would be just a perfect bike for Thailand...I have been riding the Kawasaki Versys up north in Chiang Mai.....the roads there are just fantastic....

Anyone else been riding over here?

Cheers, fileeep!

Hi Phillip

I'm contemplating selling my Strada if you are interested.

I took delivery on 27/12/13 (however the bike was not actually registered until May 2014 as I had to what for Special Number - 'xxx 821')

The bike has a little under 11k kms, and has the following additions:-
