Anyone here on TV going next month? I'm actually thinking of braving it with the music reported and camping the night with another guava mate. See you there, spot the guava time.

I will go, but with the current situation, I'm not sure they will do it. Need to find out...

EDIT: Just checked their FB page and there aren't any updates yet. Let's hope for the best.

180k! Well, respect for that!

I had the 200ST and liked it very much too.

Because the people who bought them at the inflated price can't face losing so much money now that they want to sell. I think they just can't face the truth that their bikes are now worth half (or less) than what they paid a few years ago.

What a sad waste. :-(

I know him. His last name is Phart...

Mr Brain Phart

Been in Thailand 10 years, but always looking forward for my annual 5-week holiday back home in the North Italian Alps. If I could afford to go twice a year, I definitely would. I have family and great friends there, the place is beautiful with lots of mountains and nature. Food is a mix of German and Italian and I love it. I have a big bike there (a 1981 Moto Guzzi G5) which is perfect for travelling with my wife. She loves to go there too.
If I could do my job there, I would be really hard pressed if I had to choose between Thailand and Italy. Both have their + and -.

So, they adopt the boy and this scumbag is free to torture him. For how long? What about the wife? She didn't say anything...an accomplice? What about child protection, being adopted? What about the neighbours? What about teachers and school mates? How can this go unnoticed for so long?!?

Milage is not that much, and not the decisive factor.

It's all about how well it was looked after during those 30k km. Only you can judge.

Inspect the bike carefully. Listen to the owner closely. I'm sure you will find out if it's worth it or not.

Oops. I must apologise.

I was looking at your bike and wondering how well maintained it looked compared to mine. The rear looked different too...

Until I realised that they are different bikes! Mine is a CELA not a Tena!! I believe the Tena was the successor of the CELA and the precursor of the Sonic? Is that right?

PS: Thanks for the oil tip Bung...will do.

I noticed that the carb is leaking a little, so that's next on my list. Should I refurbish the old one or buy a new one?

If the measurements are the same and the bikes weight about the same, then I wouldn't see a problem.

Found the problem. Oil tank rubber connection defective. Fixing right now. Back on the road soon!

I have one. Been sitting still for a few months and just discovered a massive oil spill.

Great little bike though.

If it has the correct paperwork (green book with all taxes paid), then I don't see the problem.

I would wonder about the commercial sense, since vintage European bikes are usually more expensive here than in Europe.

The very first time I sat on a moped, my first moped. Dad had bought it from his friend. They were there teaching me what to do. I rode the first few meters in the parking lot. Came closer to the parking barrier, panicked and ended up hanging on the barrier, while the bike continued underneath it. Great entertainment for them, most embarrassing for me.

Thanks for this very insightful review.

Once would have been enough though. Hahaha

A picture would help. ..

As Dilligad said, safe yourself the trouble and endless headaches with the authorities, because in the end you'll have spent a lot of money and will ride an unregistered bike, which can be impounded at any time. It's just not worth it.

Lots of info on the subject on this forum.

Come back soon then, what are you waiting for?!? ?

I think it was around 120km/h.

I had the 200ST 10 years ago. It had the clutch cover like the left engine in your pictures.

I have a 2009 ER650n with under 10k on the odo. It's a good bike, excellent value for money, I like it but I don't love it. Thinking of getting a Street Twin or W800 if it becomes available.

I just can't stand modern bikes with all that plastic and futuristic designs. I would make an exception for the MV F3 though....sex on wheels!

I want to know too!

I believe it's an oil catch can to collect the oil mist. It connects to the crankcase as far as I know.
