Hello all, I am new to the board and a new owner of a RX135I in thailand. I grew up in the USA and riden only off road japanese bikes from 100-300cc mostly 2 strokes. I was a bit dissapointed not being able to find a big bike here at a reasonable price. (Maybe its a good thing, im not used to riding with cars all around either.) To get somthing new here over 200cc's is outrageous. There is isnt much choice here for something with power and good for everyday running around on in heavy traffic. I found this bike to be more modern than the Wave 125 and better manuvering and passenger hauling than the cbr150. If it wold take off quicker in 1st gear, I would say it would be the best all around performance enhanced bike made in thailand. Passing power, easy handling, looks and fuel ecconomy are superb. BTW I don't care much about fuel ecconomy. Im used to filling up a 4x4 truck in the US with gasoline, about $50 a week now or 2000 baht.
