Hi Stig. How are you going Amigo ? Well, the pony's got nearly 17000 klms ( about 10500 miles ) on her now, and yes, she has been a very reliable bike. As I've said all along throughout the whole Great Little Pony thread - she takes me where all the bigger bikes are going ! I know some people must be sick of hearing me say that, but it damn well true !! I always go on decent rides on her most weekends .. coastal runs and out through them thare hills and out in the countryside. Did you know that Kymco have been around since the early sixties and were in cahoots with Honda for a long time ? And apparently, they still make parts for other major brand motorcycles as well ! Look into their history , you may find it interesting. In fact The Honda VT250 Custom, which I think was released as the Honda 250 Magna over your way are the same bike as the Venox ! Check this out ... if these aren't the same bike ol mate, I'll eat my hat ..
