    Congrats. Great choice. My first street bike was a 1983 CB 650 Night Hawk. A lot has changed since then but I will always remember my rides on that bike. The 1988 Yamaha V-Max that replaced it was a world of difference as was the 1998 Yamaha YZF-R1 that replaced the V-Max. As I grew too old and fat for the R1, I replaced it with a Honda Shadow ACE 1100. It has been hard to go back back down in the power and torque from the high displacement engines but a necessity here. I can't justify dropping the money for a 900 cc plus bike in Thailand. I've wanted the MT-09 for a while but it will never happen. In the mean time my Mio 125 fits the bill just fine. Small, cheap, and good on gas. I don't worry about where I park it or who knocks it over. When I want the big bike experience, I rent one for a week.

    A lot has happened since I posted this. Thousands of km's and a lot of fun.
    I'm a simple man in many ways and expect this life to be all I have to enjoy :)

    Been riding a Kawasaki Vulcan S for a while and been very happy with that. But I on saturday I went to Khon Kaen and got what I wanted for a long time.
    Yamaha MT-10. Got everything I want and I clocked in 560km already and loved all of them. So the Vulcan got to go :grin:

    I think I would need a little more than a few mods @skeeters ;-) . But a tempting offer I must push out of my mind here :grin:
