I also have been watching youtube videos of this bike all day. I think I am going to have to pull the trigger on this one soon.

Nice to see Rigger and Nedley on the thread as it is nice to hear comments from people with actual hands on M/C experience.
Well I know a lot do have M/C hands on exp, but I mean over 125cc step thru stuff.

I started on a 1938 Scout in about 1947 and had a couple new Hogs and a couple of Triumphs and beezers and some other small cube limeys and my last new was a 1995 FXWG and my last Hog in the states was a late 83 FLH with the cased chain and a new Evo that I bought out of Milwaukee and built up, Then I gave up and started rebuild older sleds and street rods and now I have a Honda Air Blade that I never ride.and would not waste the money for a HOG here as this is a shithole country to ride in as far as I am concerned because you dare not ever look away from traffic or they got ya baby, so If riding was that important to me I would move back home as 1 head on with a sled and living thru it was just plenty for me.

What biker gangs you hang with? I see that you lived in Oregon. I still live 3 blocks away from the old Gypsie Jokers club house. What do you know?

blackgang

None really in Portland, but have a lot of friends in Outsiders, want I should have Squeeze come over and dislocate your head and put you in orthopedic shirts?
I hear he is back active again.
Know some dudes with Bro Speed.,, Jokers too, but as I didn't drink or do drugs I never hung with the clubs, but my last marriage there in Oregon was attended by a bunch from Outsiders and was quite a todo over in a rental big log house in Vancouver, was also attended by 2 active OSP and 2 OLCC, quite a mix Huh.

So how much does a new XR1200 sell for here in Thailandia?
