comfortability is there but jus hv to keep yr body nearer to the tank

but i scare buy a problematic AT.... maybe can ask u n gandalf go with me if i am getting one AT early next year...

 

[Jahre Viking]

no probs... nuthin much to check actuali... maybe the outlook of the engine.. no oil leaks.. n white smoke out from exhaust.. if u tried sittin on one b4? juz for ur info.. itz not light.. n quite high..( actuali e highest among e big trallies)

[smokin]

spoofy and grandalf, have you guys heard anyone had rear suspension problems before??

[Jahre Viking]

hmm... suspension... so far hv 2 frenz changed theirs liao bcos of leakage..their ats' previous onwers r above 100kgs!! n moreover their bikes were oredi 3-4yrs old when they bought over. another fren(60-70kgs) had e same problem onli after 7-8yrs of hardcore tourin(cambodia etc) my opinion is tat rear suspension is a bit soft for such a heavy bike...

[Pizzaboy]

Compare between AT & Vera1000 which is a better machine to get?

Guys any comments?

[Jahre Viking]

vara is mre road friendly, smooth n powerful. it belongs to e same class as TDM, V-strom... whereas AT belongs to triumph tiger, GS etc. It's more rugged as you can c its design n parts r mre rigid n tough.. n it has proven its durabilty for e last >10yrs!!!

I think that it is the only the problem i've found out. other than that it's a good bike. heard from a biker while in JB that his AT was bought only for a few months and have to change to a ohlins suspension. coz the stock one leaked. well he weigh around 90 to 100kg range. and me too. i'll have to consider about the suspension problems liao.
