That is indeed an awsome bike. KTRC, Powerbands and that horisontal back-link suspension. It only ads another 20 kg to the weight of a 650 - but doubles the HP to about 145 HP. :thumb:

Re: Why do YOU think the Thais are such bad drivers?

A recent example... Some would probable argue that it is the (presumably thai driven) pickup that drives irresponsible and others (probably most) will blame the farang bike for speeding.
