I know that bigger engines can be found in every corner of the globe, but upon my arrival back here in the states among the thousands of other things I love about the land I call home I have recently added the relatively easy access to all the engine a soul could ever want!
So when you read this perhaps it would be appropriate to have a brief moment of silence to remember our riding brothers and sisters around the world who are less "cc-fortunate" than ourselves.

Having access to affordable big displacement bikes is just one more thing I like about living here. I also like taking a hot shower whenever I want and the ability to get a really cold beer anytime I please.

spend a couple years in korea:P<br><br>Post edited by: PLUMMEN, at: 2008/02/12 11:45
Haha I am in my second year here. While not nearly as crazy as china, or Thailand for driving conditions 125's are the rule not the exception here.
I had one last year, a korean build daelim 4 valve 1 cylinder 125. It was a fun little guy and even took me across Korea. This year i plan on getting my bike licenses here so i can register a larger ride (CB400 are popular among high class couriers however they are quite beat most times by the time they make it to resale).
I have spotted some ZREX's, but most of the imports are hondas. Hyosung makes a 250 twin and a 650 twin...both nice and super cheap to repair here.
Parts for the jap made bikes are not stocked here...so it can take months to get a bike fixed. Mechanics here are considered just higher than beggars, sooo when i got my last bike repaired the most i ever paid was $20. I put it down trying to hop the curb, 125's are allowed on the side walks...I tore up the brake lever, mirror, and rear break rear set. The repairs were done while i waited with a cup of coffee they insisted i have.
Good tools are hard to come by here, so the mechanics has made all their own tools...they looked ugly but i bet they wouldn't trade them for anything the snap on man could bring.
ok my rant is done....riding here is outstanding, and in Seoul 125cc is more than enough to thread your way through the traffic.
