Thailand Motor Show 2012

Yamaha showed an adventure scooter concept at the Thai Motor Show in Bangkok this week - a ruggedized scooter with higher quality and longer travel suspension, extra luggage facility with provision for much more, and a vastly strengthened frame.

The strength of the world's emerging economies was on display at the opening of the Thai Motor Show today when the country was underwater for much of the last year. Almost every major manufacturer had something on show we haven't seen before.
