At the moment, the production is not running at full capacity, as only 4,500 bikes will be produced here this year. In 2015, that number should double. The manufacturer has opened an official showroom in Pattaya.
After lunch, prepared by the Italian chef of the Centara Grand Mirage Beach Resort Pattaya Alberto Bruni, guests got down to talking business and shop.
