A pic of the bike I used on my Feb 2011 2 week credit card tour of continental Malaysia. I took the bags and accessories and my favourite seat, then purchased the bike in a Carrefours department store in Kuala Lumpur for 450RM ($148 US). I was surprised how well it went, once I got it set up to suit my preferences (although that took 850k). The only items not to perform acceptably were the no-name chinese tyres. (Don't inflate them to the 65 psi pressure stated on the sidewall, the belts just break. Stay at 35 psi, you'll go a lot further). The best part was, as I did not successfully find a buyer for the bike before returning home, I disassembled it and took it home in a soft case, well within airline dimensions and managing 22.5kg and 6 kg for baggage and carry-on weights.
Now I'm planning to tour Indonesia next time I get some holidays, I'll take this bike again, maybe with one or two component changes for weight and reliability.
