And, it was impossible to ship the bike to Indonesia on time on such a short notice.
The Shop
Can't comment on this weekend as I haven't got to the track yet but the idea we should keep it all in Europe is just selfish and denies other countries the opportunity to host these races. Especially countries whose motorbike sales dwarf 99% of the planet. I do agree that it would be great if more riders went or more Anzac riders were drafted in though. And I do think it's a good idea that the Indonesian riders have 3 separate classes
I've been to all of the Indonesian GPs so far ( it's very affordable for Australians - more should bloody well get off their arses and go) and each was well attended, and the Pankal Penang track was not bad - the big f**ck up with that the first time was that a bit of the track was at about water table height, so, when it pissed down, it ( the water) had nowhere to go.
Semarang is a pearler of a track. And, had a great, enthusiastic crowd.
No idea of the new track. Looks to be in front of a big complex of some type.
Indonesia has monumental Motorcycle sales. And, a lot of the public, love bikes, and are a damned sight more interested than most of 'We' are, in the established (shrinking) markets. Motocross races don't just sell Motocross bikes - they sell the Brand as a whole. Well, racing of all types, does just that. If it's ( racings) influence was just strictly on sales relating to it's particular 'side' of the sport/ participation, well, factories wouldn't bother.
All the factories support going to Indo, hell, have a squizz at the slogans on the Honda and Yamaha Road Race teams leathers and bikes - I think a few of the largest are in Indonesian.
I'm not going this year, as my Crazy Old Mum just came back from OS, and is very ill, and I'm the one to take care of her. There's a slim chance I might get to Semarang ( everything is paid for), but, family comes first, always.
ayearinmx - I only 'clocked' your pm a day ago. Thanks for the invo, I hope to take you up on it sometime. Though, I've had a bit of a 'nosh', curtesy of the big H, a few times now. I might get to a later Euro round or two, or China. Or, MXDN. But, getting away is a bit iffy at the moment, with family health issues, and my being on a few operations waiting lists , so, I might not get anywhere soon.
So normally we'd have around 25-28 riders if everyone was fit.
Pit Row
And, per unit, they would have a far higher percentage of profit to the sale, than large capacity , expensive motorcycles. And, especially, small run, rapid development MCs such as the modern MXer / Dirt Bike.
And, that higher percentage profit, being multiplied by the near 7 million motorcycles that the Indonesian market sells / buys each year, means Big Bucks, and, that Markets ( the third largest in the World, with sales growth, currently, of 15% annually) Huge importance to manufacturers. Motorcycle sales in Indonesia outsell cars, six to one. With reference to brlatm and his comments on Vietnam : approximately 3million bikes a year were sold in that country the last year. These sales stats come from the recent article on the health of the Industry in the bi-weekly magazine, Australian Motorcycle News, Vol 68, #25, 20th June - 3rd July.
You're on a computer to post here, so, you, or anyone else, can research sales breakdowns of Motorcycle Markets, If you choose to enlighten yourself.
I have no idea if it has or not.
My first instinct would say they will have a lower margin because i would expect the majority of those small bikes are in cost competition, not quality competition.
Put into your computer Yamaha Indonesia. You'll see just the tip of the iceberg of what's available in little bikes. From just the One manufacturer. I've charged around Indonesia (and Singapore) on a few big wheeled scooters, that were like, or perhaps were, the 'MX King 150'. Awesome little things - watercooled 150cc / 155cc 4ts, single shock rear, 17" wheels, good brakes : nothing to do with MX, but marketed using the MX moniker and 'MX coolness'. Then, check out the MT15- Naked style, 155cc FI with Variable Valve Actuation (and that motor is in a few of the more 'Scooter' type models) . I'd love one for a runabout around Sydney. I'd say it might just shit on the Bear Family Postie Bike.
To the event : some pictures of the venue , taken from the site so many hate - MXLarge. It's a 'pop up' track, right in front of a Hotel or Mall. And, not a bad looking track. No, it's no 'classic', it's on a Pala / Fox, WW Ranch level pretty much instantly though, and, it's about a zillion times better track than any SX track.
The Hotel / Mall, or whatthebloodyever it is, that the track is plonked down in front of:
Yup, it could be wet. It's South East Asia, boys and girls, you Melt down, then it Buckets down, then you Melt down again. And, at times, it repeats, ever and anon.
Really bummed I'm not there. Crossing all my fingers and toes that I can get to Semarang next week.
