And there you come back after a long time. Have not seen you around. Now I know what brings you back to the forum! |
Haha! Thanks. I wasn't able to be active for quite a while. And I wouldn't argue on who the main character is in this context. Indeed its the Kawi. Quote:

I am a big fan of the Z250, and the ninja 250 for their engine that time. I hope they improve on their sales and service in the coming days.
Answer to your first question is difficult to explain, for simple reasons such as body type, long ride experience etc. When I started my long rides on the D200 I had some serious problems with my backside after every 100th km. I decided to add a Towel on the saddle and that helped a bit. |
If Kawasaki cant justify the pricing or throw in a few more goodies with the bike then they can capitalize in the market. Until that happens, the market will be painted Orange!
Even I tried it with a towel. Helped a bit though. Quote:

- Gel seat insert; this one. Got my seat modified by a local seat upholsterer, with the aforementioned gel insert and some extra foam.
- On top of the seat (with the gel cushion) I used this air cushion seat-pad.

Wow, this is what I was looking for. Clear and neat information. Thank you. Will take your word for it. Quote:

Thanks and please do share your experiences. Ride safe! |
