My iron horse

Bike model: Honda Steed Springer 400cc

Colour: Maroon
Age: 14.5 years old
Top speed: 140km/h
Cruising speed: 90km/h
Fuel consumption: 21-27km/l
Fuel tank: 10 litres
Safe fuel range: 180km

Pros for me:
Familiar with bike, can troubleshoot
Tough and bullet proof engine
Low seat height
Comfortable and cool to ride
Can ride slow without overheating 
Left 6 months COE
Cheap if I need to abandon bike

Cons for me:
Engine consumes some oil (need to monitor and top up)
Heavy bike 230kg (already used to it)
Slow speed (good enough in Thailand)
Low ground clearance (can't go off-road)
Tubed tyres (treated with Slime)
Small fuel capacity (frequent fuel stops)
