You are correct Soren. It is the same bike.

If all you want is a bike. Other than that it really isn't explainable. You either get it or you don't in either direction.

I understand John's concerns very well. Heritage is more than a tank badge to me. I do not believe anybody who buys a Thailand bike has bought a 2nd rate machine though.

I try to aggravate one person a day. Today may be your day.
