See fotos below, and before anyone says anything, I am no way connected to these shops. Our PRD shop in Phuket, is almost directly opposite our BMW dealer, and I saw one of these 'magnificent machines' out on the pavement. Now reading their glossy brochure, here are the details: Ultimate Sports Tourer European Standards Advanced Technology 3 Year or 30,000 kms Full Warranty which includes: Free Oil and Maintenance Free Parts and Labour Not including Battery and Tyres 200cc, and all for the price of 68,000 baht. Mind you Thailand being Thailand, the girl in the shop said warranty on engine only (TIT) and I didnt read the brochure till I got home. (Actually read brochure whilst having lunch in KFC) So if 3 year full warranty, ride it for 2.5 years then get rid of it, (if it hasn't self destructed by then). We have 4 of these bikes in our showroom, here in Phuket. oh one more thing, dealers in: Bangkok Phuket Hat Yai Chiang Mai Khon Kean Korat Seems the Pattaya boyz have been forgotten. The bike is made by Gusto their slogan "Ride With Pride" Happy Lahu New Year to you all. _________________ Cheers T.J. I phoned the local gym and I asked if they could teach me how to do the splits. He said, 'How flexible are you?' I said, 'I can't make Tuesdays or Thursdays.'

Cheers, Daewoo No harm in looking.................. (especially as I will probably have to borrow the money off mortgage to buy next bike, so wont be rushing into anything yet) _________________ Cheers T.J.
