Single piston. Adjustment is ride height only. Gas reservoir really should have a Schrader valve on it but it doesn't. YSS mostly sell the good stuff for export only. That said this is probably about as good as you will get in Thailand.

Kyoto is great. I went there back in the 1990s. The strangest thing I saw was hundreds of bicycles parked at the station and none of them were locked.

Ah Yes. New York. My first experience was getting ripped off by a yellow cab driver from the airport. Strangely he was British as am I.

High end helmets I would go for Arai or Shoei but 20K or thereabouts. For less money I would choose Shark. Manufactured in Thailand but sold globally and certified internationally. I use Arai because I find them very comfortable which matters particularly on longer journeys. If you look at many of the cheaper Thai brands the buckle/locking mechanism is an obvious weakness. This really matters in a crash.

I have no doubt it is a better choice than a 250 kg (before you load it up) 'adventure' bike. Mostly I see adventure bikes here tackling the rigours of riding from one coffee shop to the next.

What if I want to return a used car?
In the jungle replied to Epidote's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
Most can. You can get an OBD2 scanner (fault code reader) for as little as a few hundred Baht on Lazada but a good shop would probably use something more capable. -

The ECU records fault codes. -
My problem with Chinese cars is this. Among the many other aggressive and problematic actions the Chinese government has taken they recently put a price on the heads of Hong Kong democracy activists who hold refugee status in the UK and other western countries. I have no wish to pay money that will help them grow stronger.
