howard ashoul Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 Since I first time saw Kawasaki KSR (http://www.sudoma.net/ksr/) I always wanted it. And have for 3 years. But Im not sure if its still manufactured? I think it was replaced by Kawasaki Z125 and its not sold anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At 150cc it is small enough to get through the crap traffic like a scooter and fun enough to know you are on a real bike. Looking at the finger pointing the black stallion did it again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MartinL Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 19 hours ago, bramds said: So, tell me, what happens at the Stallions factory? It is just an empty building? The Stallions 400s, 250 Centaurs & 250 Buccaneers are sold worldwide under various names. It's well-known that the 400 is a Chinese copy of an old Honda engine. Similarly for the 250 Centaur - a copy of an old Suzuki GN250 engine. The Buccaneer is said to be a recent Italjet design. For those models, at least, I'd guess they're bought-in by Stallions and modified to a greater or lesser extent. Very little original manufacturing is likely to be involved. Don't know about the 150s but I'd bet the same applies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pee paub Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 My daughter's Stallions 150 was heavy, slow, and very often broken down. Definitely not cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thaiguzzi Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 No, unfortunately not. It may "look" ok parked up on it's sidestand, but i can assure you the first proper corner you come to, you will recquire an underpants change. Not only the rake angle on the forks/headstock, but even worse the tyres. Those tyres should not be fitted to anything with 2 wheels. Deathmasters. Square profile. 3 wheels - fine, absolutely perfect for a sidecar outfit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thaiguzzi Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Sorry. In my book if they don't work, they are not "cool". Art for art's sake does'nt cut it with me. Unrideable art (and i've seen a few) is not a proper motorcycle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody said you've got to do 200kph and get your knee down. I've ridden motorcycles for 40 years and i've never got my "knee down". I've also ridden plenty of "Choppas", lowriders et al, and custom Harleys that DID handle. You, obviously have never ridden a motorcycle with those type of tyres. I will tell you now, they have no place on a motorcycle that is actually meant to be ridden... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the topic was "cool" not "best handling". I thought the thread was about manufacture here by actual companies, not something you see at the local bike show built by Somchai. If thats were it is at now I can put up a heap of picks from the various Burapha Bike Weeks ive been to over the years, but that not really the spirit of this thread.
