forcebwithu Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 ^^^ Not impressed with CB's videos. Quite the opposite. He was a right insensitive A-hole during the height of the lockdown with people lining up for food on Beach Rd a couple hundred meters from where he was destroying a perfectly good motorbike as a publicity stunt. Another vid he was street racing a car on a soi on the darkside that had many side soi's and business entrances. Whooping it up, and all the time oblivious to the very dangerous situation he was creating for local traffic, including me who uses that soi on a regular basis for bike rides. And I see in this vid when Thailand has an ongoing problem with illegal street bikes he's basically glorifying those bikes. Add to the fact the race organizers had no concern for the safety of the riders as many were racing with no helmets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, destroying that bike was a waste. Some fast bikes in this^ vid...150cc running the 1/4 miles in 10 sec. That's quick (especially in flip-flops)! Safety goes to die in TH (imho). ... Saw this bike near the Chao Praya River 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lazarus Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 ^ I traded it for a K1200GT...faster but nowhere near as comfortable on a long ride... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
galenkia Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 (edited) Do like the big touring bikes, but I like something smaller and lighter for daily use. Though the Z800 is not exactly light at around 226 kilo's compared to other bikes in that category. Edited May 22, 2022 by galenkia 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a 1992 K100RS with touring bags etc - take them off and fly around Eastern Creek. Best of both worlds. The model I had was released in 1991 and was very advanced - Motronics, ABS, etc etc. I sure miss that bike. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

galenkia Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 (edited) Called Greenham Kawasaki in Newbury earlier about buying a brand new Z900. Guy told me that their years allocation is sold out. So much for people struggling financially 😉 Gonna give the legendary Stalker a call at his Grantham dealership.

Mate had one too - heaps of trouble, especially when it rained. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
