Out at the Nakon Chaisi track South of Bangers they have regular small bike racing, You get 30 of these 125's going at it with 30 Somchai riders and only one brain between the 30 of them, its fun to watch, 125's going in all directions.

I've heard that the fuel injected model dyno's at 20 hp with stock exhaust and airbox.

If you got another 2-4 hp flowing it up, wouldn't be too bad for a 127 kg bike.
The lil thing will likely get close to 100 mpg.

I heard that he killed himself because he knew Beulls were going to be invented. That's how fucking hard Steve McQueen was, and how determined he was that he didn't want see a bike as gay as a Beull!!

I've only owned one bike in Thailand.

A Kawasaki Zephyr 750. Lovely bike, but the radiator was far too small - being air cooled, overheating was a massive problem here . Sold it about 8 years ago as I'd had one too many close calls on it and knew it would kill me sooner or later.

Only in traffic it becomes a problem and have yet to see a bike that doesnt get hot sitting at a traffic light every 2 minutes. Australia, Oman are all hotter places and have had air cooled bike in both of them with out to much trouble. A good oil cooler is a good investment

I seem to remember burning the shit out of myself on an old Honda scrambler which had a similar exhaust setup.

Also the name "scrambler" doesn't hit me right. Probably because my brain is already "scrambled". I don't need no additional "scrambling" from some "scrambler"!

My virago is bad enough but if you lean around a sweeper and are going commando.. i am sure you could burn your balls on that exhaust.

Oil cooled and traffic lights suck.

Happy to report that finally the Kawasaki Big Bike showroom in Bangkok is accepting orders for the new 2008 Ninja 250R.

They will start delivering the new bikes in the next week Very Happy
