  1. I installed both Garmin City Navigator NT Thailand 2013.30 and Garmin City Navigator Southeast Asia NT 2013.20 in Mapsource recently. There are some problems with both of these. The Garmin City Navigator NT Thailand 2013.30 is dual language Thai & English, however in Mapsource most labels are in Thai. Some have Thai and English, many do not. That is no problem for those of you who read Thai, but not so great for me.

    The Garmin City Navigator Southeast Asia NT 2013.20 is a big step backwards from the Garmin Street Map series. This new version shows much less detail than before and some of it is just plain wrong. I don't see rivers and streams or smaller sois. Estuary shorelines are often missing or in the wrong place. If I were to work with it longer, I'm sure to find many other defects.

    So, for me, I'm going to stick with the older version Thailand Street Map 2012.40.

    It must depend on which version you install. My Garmin City Navigator NT Thailand 2013.30 has both English and Thai. When it is in English, there are no Thai labels at all on my 255W. I just checked it again to be sure. I don't have a way to bring it up in the Mapsource program, however in the Basecamp program, it also shows up in English.

    I did another check and I cannot get the map to show any Thai labels at all. I remember the first version I installed would only show Thai. That does me no good. I found a so-called dual version which seems to only show English labels. That works for me.

  2. Interesting article on Wikipedia about the XR750. They say:

    "Riders on XR-750s have won 29 of the 37 AMA Grand National Championships from 1972 to 2008 inclusive. Besides having more wins than any other bike in AMA racing, it has been called the "most successful race bike of all time."

    Also, notice in the XR-750 pictures that the bike has no brakes! That's how they ran them in the AMA Grand National series.

    Forget about the XR(TT) models over the years?

  4. Supermoto style, monoshock rear end, led tail light, oil cooler, upside-down forks. Handles well. The riding position is great. I don't like leaning over forward like on the CBR. The CRF has a very skinny seat that looks like it wouldn't be comfortable for very long and is over twice the price of the TXM200. Incredibly easy valve adjustment. I do my own service. I've had nearly 40 different motorcycles in my day and at least half of those were Kawasakis. You can't beat the price on the Keeways for the quality of the bike that you get. Lot's of Chinese bike haters on the forum but the people that actually own the Keeways haven't complained about the bikes.
