A year or so ago I mentioned to my wife that I was thinking about buying a motorcycle. She said something along the lines of 'you can have me or a motorcyle!' and so I put my plans for a bike on the back burner.
Well, the honeymoon is over, the bloom is off the rose, etc etc... and this weekend I told my wife that I had chosen the mocy after all and would she like me to help her pack.
So, I'm now shopping around for cheap used bike. I've done a bit of research and have decided that I want one of the 150cc, water cooled, two stroke sport bikes that seem to be pretty common around here. I want a Thai made bike so that parts will be cheap and easy to find and local mechanics will know how to work on it. My budget is about 8K to 10K (I don't want to use any of my overseas money), so I will be buying used.
The choices seem to be:
Honda NSR 150
Yamaha TZM/VR 150
Kawasaki KRR/Victor/Serpico 150
Suzuki RG Gamma 150.
I already looked at a Suzuki RGV 150 and have pretty much crossed it off my list!
Does anyone here have experience with any of the bikes above?
