my main concern is.... suspension not yet settle... 2ups... might be bit er..... scary......

mine settled.

cstay66 · October 31, 2008

i think this loop only takes us half day. 2 hrs up to mersing , 2hrs to ayer hitam and 2 hrs back .

So wats the actual plan ? detour to Endau rompin ?

abang, no need to rest aarrh? i not iron butt leh.

cstay66 · October 31, 2008

i thought of a more relaxed ride compared to the last time we go through karak in 1 day....

maybe spend more time at mersing (air papan).... and finish off with seafood somewhere near pendas...or maybe kulai nasi lemak...

cstay66 · October 31, 2008

alternative would be not heading up to mersing but down to Sedili? There's some plantation roads for us to ride thru and maybe makan at penggerang

wow something new. :thumb:

Woah - I thought DL650 has better f/c when cruising at about 140kph... did not realize it has a worse f/c than e.g. Hayabusa.

So the 650 Strom is for slow speeds of 120kph-kind of touring?

For the record, 650 always have better FC than Hayabusa, or the 1K model when at the petrol stop. 650 always pump lesser than busa or 1k.

normally 150kph for about 200km range is 3-4l lesser than 1k and at full speed 180, was about 1l -2l less than 1k.

More good news huh...

So a Strom650 is good touring at slower speeds (120kph); comfort riding; and doing tight twisties (like those in Fraser's Hill?)... while it has storage-capabilities.

Still exploring what other good points of a Strom650.

I'm currently using a Hayabusa for touring... have been to several places such as Cameron and Fraser's Hill. It is a great speed-tourer. Handles well on Cameron bends, but not so favorable at Fraser Hill's submit-twisties. Storage is virtually not there and riding posture would require high speeds to be comfy.

crusing speed on nsh with all three boxes loaded,you can reach a comfortable 150kmh,depending on your weight.

I did not go to Sungai Kenaboi / Gerick instead I went with the 4x4 ppl to Taman Negara Selai.

Selai, Endau-Rompin Johor National Park (commonly referred to as just Selai) is the western gateway to Johorâ€™s famed Endau-Rompin Johor National Park. Selai is located in the district of Segamat, and has been officially opened to the public since Jan 2003. (Selai is not to be confused with Peta, Endau-Rompin Johor National Park, which is the more established entry point on the eastern gateway to the Endau-Rompin recreational area.)

What is Selai really about? To merely describe Selai as a lowland tropical rainforest is to oversimplify the facts. Selai is the most rugged and untamed of Johorâ€™s national parks. And yet it personifies all the beauty and complexity of a Malaysian rainforest. Selaiâ€™s true appeal lies in this very contradiction. For this is a place that is as brooding as it is enchanting, as forbidding as it is beautiful a veritable gem of an untamed wilderness.

This is a good ride.. hardpack logging roads all the way in and the campsite has toilet facilities!! i was told it was one of the most equipped one.

Anyone keen to explore and do a camping trip?
