Seems youwere right Quirrel, I am riding a CBRF.

Saw a nice looking CBR today at a local dealer.
97 CBR 400, yellow and black, perfect looking condition, nice sounding engine. 60,000 baht with plates.
Sorely tempted. Could rent it out at 800 baht a day.

I ride a Honda VFR 800 VTEC, it has adequate speed and acceleration, comfortable on a 8 hour trip. It suits an old codger. Actually would like a Harley but I am not gay enough to qualify.

Ride a '98 Honda Transalp 400 and '98 Harley Heritage.

Would love a Triumph Bonneville too but ain't got the space.

CMN, you keep looking at these SMALL bikes that are small crotch rockets. These bikes are not a joy to ride any real distance and this is all I was saying that was WRONG with your CBRF 400. I gather that you are doing a ride trip for tourist to do for your biz and I for one wouldn't want to do any long ride on something this small or shaped like this bike for a long haul. I think you can find some bigger more comfortable rides around for sale that wouldn't be too far outta your budget. I saw a Kawi 750 Eliminator on a Thai website some while back that was going for only 30K Baht. There's a Yamaha 750 down the road from me that is going cheap but you would have to restore it a bit. Hell, if I had some extra dough, I would pick it up for myself but I'm too busy with my 900 right now. Get bikes that people will be comfortable riding for more than an hour or two at one time. up2u, just my 2 bahts worth.

The previous owner of my bike was about 6.2 and about 100 kilos, he seemed to have no problem going to places like ChiangRai and Mae hong son on it.
So I disagree.
Again.

REmember back about 20+ years ago, My friend got himself a brand new ninja. Came over to my place proud as proud could be. Now I was used to 90+ extremely radical hogs all done up witn noweightium and unobtainium and nothing extra to slow me down, he's right proud, throws me the keys.
"boutthis time i'm thinkin' "FOOL!!! do you have any idea what i'm gonna do with this thing??"
I got all folded up nice 'n neat, took off on that tiny crotch rocket. Gotta tell ya, even though it was a itty bitty 600cc motor I had a helluva lot fun on the thing. The way she cut a line through my favorite esses and accelerated up to reline like there weren't no load atall, Nice bike. Nothing I'd personally buy, but 's long as he was willing to let me abuse the one he had I was lovin' it. Now, knees being a highly stressed moving part of a 6'2" frame, don't think i could get unfolded after gettin' on one for very long.
Bike like that up here in the hills, I kinda envy you the fun you're gonna have. Damn near every road leadin out of town is just endless twisties.
Now if they only made 'em in adult sizes...

peterpan, besides the user name you use, I would think those TEARDROP mirrors and all the extra chrome on your bike kinda puts you in catagory and if not that then the one would be you if you think that about Harley riders.

CMN

Stick with the F model - its is a lot comfier for you and your missus.

The CBR hardcore one is a fucker to ride.

Have a look into fitting some renthal bars and risere to get a street bike riding position.

Then let's see some pics of this VFR 800 and see how much bling or lack there of you have on your bike. I have an old Kawi 900 that I'm getting chrome work done on for 2 reasons, 1st, it looks better and 2nd, because it's less maintenence than polishing aluminium all the time. Ride what you wanna ride and don't go spouting BS about people that ride a certain bike. Do you think your friend is gay because he rides a chopper (choppah, your word)? How stupid is that?

I am planning on selling my CBR soon, I think if I was to buy another bike it would be a naked standard. Something like a Triumph Speed Triple or a Honda 919. An MV Brutal would be sweet but the price is also brutal. Other options would be a sport tourer like the VFR already mentioned or perhaps an adventure tourer like the BMW, KTM or Buell Ulysses (sp?).

Personally I would never buy a cruiser but if I did it would have a V4 engine like the magna and V-max.
