There's several listings, one post here lists some not all and not in the way I would. Insurance company base their charges in the west on what the bike is etc, dunno about Thailand. Motorcycle mags is always what I am use to with there assessment on what catergory the bike is. As I've said I like the history of bikes and what catergory it is in, I respect bikers who have a bike they prefer, even though i dislike or would even want their type of bike. We are all different and as bikers have a choice and a person liking of what we have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No offence K but all seems kinda silly. papa prefers red or black or both. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Damrongsak Posted October 29, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 29, 2020 (edited) There seems to be a real dearth of small, easily managed trail bikes (road legal "dual-sport") and economical trials bikes. I still miss the Suzuki TS125 I had in Thailand 1977/78. I was 5' 6" and weighed 115 pounds. I'm not a big bike guy.

Several years before I went to Thailand, I had a brief stint as a mechanic at a Suzuki dealership in the U.S. I rather like the brand. Wish I'd had the 185cc version. According to Wiki, "The TS185 is lighter than the 125 by a few pounds, and has nearly the power of the 250 but with a much more free revving motor." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suzuki_TS_series 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was allowed to borrow one on the condition if I break it I fix it and I didn't take it off the property. Got good at fixing them! And in the end 860 acres just got to small so my older brother and I started riding the dirt tracks around the district...but after a while dad found out and we got the severest punishment for our indiscretion...no using the bikes for 6 months. Dad had to stop riding at 75 years of age...I am 68 in a few weeks and on course to still be riding when I am 80! ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only needed the Bantam to pass the test then I took the 'L' plates off my Panther. I got asked when will I stop riding motorbikes by people who had given up because they thought they were to old.
