A friend have a Honda CBF 1000 for sale. Is that something for you?

Okay, I'll bite.  What is the definition of a "big bike" here, because those are all 600cc or under.

Hi,
Sorry.  The CBF1000 is not for me. But thanks for asking.

I have seen Thais use the term "big bike" for 250cc and up.  Everything bellow that is just "motorbike".
But please correct me if I'm wrong

  Just a bit of culture shock on my part.  Where I came from, "big bike" needed at least 4 digits in the engine size.  I rode a 600 cc Kawasaki Ninja myself back there, and hated selling it when I moved here.  We called those sport bikes.

You're right, given the size of bikes here, anything over 200 cc is "big."

I think that in Thailand, anything can be defined as a sports bike.
