What kind of Motorcycle do you own.

**Jesus Jones** · 12-07-2016, 12:41 PM

Just under 39" if I recall.

2015 models 35

It's pretty high but I'm in hospital right now so I can't measure it, it's parked outside though

I have 2 of them actually, and my other one is a lot lower due to adjustable lowering links and stock rear shocks.

The pictured one has rear ohlins and it set high as the previous owner switched between motocross for himself and track with smaller mag wheels and road tyres for his shorter brother, who is my mechanic.

I'm 5'10" (178cm) and I can get the balls of both my feet on the ground. I'm 84kg so it comes down a bit when I jump on.

Remember when Gravesend Dave mentioned that he drove his motorcycle through Pattaya with 4 up.
He took a lot of condemnation from folks.
I've done that, 4 up on a Honda 125cc but on country roads.

hmm seems the KLX250 has a 34.8" seat height. I don't think that would be a big problem (175cm and 72kg) but gf may struggle a bit with it.......

**dirk diggler** · 13-07-2016, 04:18 PM

Best just to go for a test drive and see for yourself.

I just recently had my engine opened up because I sheared the gear shift rod off on the shifter. the mechanic told me my clutch was worn out so I changed that too. Oil change, service, rewired rear LEDs and general fine tuning all round, brakes, chain etc. Including picking the bike up from my shop about 15 clicks away.

Complete bill, 3,300 baht. Can't argue with that.

One week later and I need to replace the gear shifter (too fucked to reshape) and re-align the steering.

I've had 5 NSR 150 RRs over the years I've been here, It might be 2 stroke but it's fun to ride and KEEPS going. Total rebuild with piston, rings and crank bearings is about 5000 baht with labor included.

I only rebuilt one in all these years.

Every one I bought, I sold for more than I paid for it. I sold and bought 2 of them back and sold them again for more.

Yea NO ONE can ride the bike EXCEPT YOU > sounds good to me.

**Eliminator** · 13-07-2016, 10:44 PM

I do really like the bike, It's a fun quick bike to the market. They said (whoever THEY are)do away with 2 stroke bikes in the next 3 years.. 555, that must be over 8 years old.

155 KPH on a little bike is fun. getting there so FAST is MORE FUN.

Can't beat a 2 stoke off the LINE.

EXCEPT ELECTRICS.

I see Royal Enfield has opened a store in BKK. I doubt whether they are reliable enough for daily use though.....

I did forget ONE of them that I lost on. 555

I bought the bike and one of my wife's family wanted it and said they would use it. I said ok but if you sell it I want my money back for what I paid for it. They didn't use it and 2 weeks later it was SOLD.

Did I see ANY money back?

Royal Enfield opens Thailand?s first exclusive store in Bangkok | Bangkok Post: Auto

**charleyboy** · 07-08-2016, 11:03 AM

Had her cleaned yesterday. They did a fantastic job for 80baht.

Yes, I'm a soft coont and gave them a tip!

**Luigi** · 07-08-2016, 12:11 PM

Nice termignoni.

**Bettyboo** · 07-08-2016, 01:09 PM

80 baht, you cheap bastard... The bike looks nice, what one can see of it; looks like one of those little Honda or Kwakawaka thingies.

**Topper** · 07-08-2016, 07:22 PM

If I sat on that little thing, I'd have problems with the rear tire scraping the bottom of the seat....

2 tight little Italians sound better than 1.

**ChalkyDee** · 04-09-2016, 01:12 PM

Honda Moove, but only used on Sunday mornings.

I've seen too many deaths in my time here to be foolish enough to ride a m/c in the city during the week.

Seconded

Riding in Bangkok is OK riding on a single lane road in the country side close to the border.
Been run of the road many, when you have a buffalo flash his lights & get a bike that 320 Kgs to maneuver
like a honda wave, after I stop the bike, I turn the bike around & go knock on there side window, they
shit them self's that you have been able to catch them up very quickly.

**dirk diggler** · 06-09-2016, 04:15 PM

I sold my Harley and my ER6n so now I'm left with my Street Triple R and 2 CRFs. Also the MSX and 3 scooters for rental purposes.
