I'm a happy man coz can use for another 100000km means more adventure ride to come......Yahoo!!!!!

[chrislayer]

u sent to 123 huh?

[Varas]

Guys, had a refill today... with the big tank . .. 44l sipey song hhahaa

 

After ride was okay.. whole bikes feels stable! mayb due to the extra weight. Overall pull was still good , but notice abit more on the throttle to get the bike firing out at traffic stops. Normal touring speed of 140km/h could be achieved without much problem, infact still the same as per with normal tank..

[Trex]

chris> i send it KnT

To all VARA bros, sad to announce I'm letting go my Vara to bikeshop. As such, may have accessories to let go like Technoflex suspension, Arrow pipes, etc. Will post up the list of accessories and prices soon.
