This year's Bangkok Motorbike Birthday, the biggest motorcycle show in Southeast Asia, expects to offer 15 intercontinental brands exhibiting more than 200 bikes and bike products at CentralWorld from Feb 1-5.
Separately from the latest motorcycle models, apparel lines, parts and accessories and protective supplies for bikers will also be displayed.
"We expect more than 100,000 bike enthusiasts will call in the show, but bike sales will likely be moderate this year because of the massive floods forcing consumers to fork out on housing repair," said Mr Nattabool Trinattee, an executive with the organiser Amalgamm Instruction Ltd.
Bike shows made over 200 million baht in sales in 2011.
Featured exhibitors comprehend Harley-Davidson from the US, Triumph from the UK, KTM from Austria, Spider from Canada, MV Agusta from Italy, Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki, Kawazaki and Zero Engineering from Japan, SYM from Taiwan, Keeway from China, Nobility Enfield and Stella from India and Tiger from Thailand.
