We get Elephant Hawk Moths in our garden.
I try to remove them when they are caterpillars as they love Fuchsia,s, and will strip the plant bare in a couple of days, hence we have very few Fuchsia,s left.
It would hold no fears for me owning another Chinky.......but iam not saying I would not say thank you for either of the Japanese bikes, but I do like a twin.
Being a cheapskate (poor)....cost has alway been a factor for me........that's why I own a Dacia!.
Several guys said my WK650Tr would disintegrate within a couple of years......after 5 years it still looked good, a few bits of corrosion.....nothing fell off or broke.
Only reason it's off the road (new owner) now is because of some dodgy Italian electrics.....can't blame the Chinks for that.
In the UK they should be be fitted on the left......thought it would be the other way round for Spain and other countries that drive/ride on the right.
