Slabo, thanks for your honest impressions on the Shinray, I always try and listen to people when they are honest, even if it's not what I would love to hear. I expect I would have some kind of issues with any bike, my R65 always had something or another that could use some fixing. I've never even sat on a chain driven bike, LOL.

I'm pretty happy to see that your basically my height exactly and are OK with the bikes height, as this has been my biggest concern. As per the availability of after market or scratch parts I did not consider that it would be very hard, but come to think of it, I also haven't seen the first decent screwdriver since Ive been here.

I'll try and also post some pics of the R65 also with this post.
