Is the XSR155 not officially sold domestically?
Riding it for 4 years straight means they're basically satisfied with its core performance.
Curious exactly what weak points get brought up for the 155cc class.
Thai-made gray imports always seem to come with some kind of hassle in exchange for the lower sticker price.
Gray imports probably struggle with parts supply and warranty coverage compared to official domestic sales.
An owner's account of weak points after 4 years of real riding is more trustworthy than any catalog spec.
The idea of turning a weak point into a strength through customizing sounds like an interesting read.
