    Gidday welcome aboard the MCM gravy train. You might be interested in my review of the 650TR I'm having a few mods done at the moment (taller & slightly wider screen), lengthening the side stand, and upgrading the headlights. Other mods will follow though these will wait for the time being.

    Looking forward to reading your thoughts on how you find the middle sized tourer.

    Hi bikerdoc read your article agree on points you cover, i did have the higher screen fitted at no cost option, but as you say could do with being wider and turned away from rider at top of screen. Look forward too reading more about the mods you are having done, any pics showing results and how they have improved your ownership experience of the bike.

    I think they do have the fundamentals of a good bike, as you mention they will have to raise their standards if they want to compete in a big way and overcome the stigma to indifferent quality of Chinese manufactured products... Without raising the price too much or they will have lost before they have even started competing outside of china.

    For me, no regrets so far, hope it remains that way through my ownership of the bike, that's all I expect, minimal problems and any I do have to be minor with a speedy resolution. If they can achieve that then they are on to a winner at these prices!

    What i really want now Is a colour coded top box :)
