do u want
performance? (ta150 2 stoke) cannot tour too much due to 2-stroke
elegance? (Shadow 200 or is it 125?) personal opinion
economical? (TA200) touring!!!
dirt cheap? (Dalim but dun cry when smth's spoilt)
for me, i chose a TA200.
top speed: 145km/hr
pick up speed: pretty good
corners: cant go really low but got sense of achievement from scrapping your footpegs.
petrol consumption: 300+km before hitting reserves. (after run in)
looks classy, one of the best performing cruisers in class 2b.
but remember to change the darn stock IRC tyres to metzler ones and brake pads to SBS street ones.
just my 2 cents worth -
i actually thought of getting TA200 but i find the seat abit low.is it possible for me to modify(raise) the height of the seat? how much will it cost? i'm looking for something like this actually....in terms of Looks only.
