My Other Ride: Honda Tiger 2000 '97

This is my other ride, a Honda Tiger 2000 '97. It has 200cc carb'd single cylinder capacity and i think it produces around 17 HP. It is useful on those times when i feel lazy confronting Jakarta's traffic jams, allowing me to maneuver in tight spaces, or on those short distance cruises. I did some upgrades to it, some of them that i remember are:

1. Replaced tail light, rear body panels and passenger handlebar with latter 2003 model.

2. Replaced the standard spoke wheels with wider cast wheels that come with bigger front disk brake.
3. Replaced the battery with maintenance free type

For those who care, below are some specs i managed to gather:
* Length x Width x Height 1.990 x 742 x 1.035 mm
* Wheelbase 1.330 mm
* Lowest Ground Clearance 145 mm
* Weight 123 kg
* Diamond-type Chassis
* Front hydraulic disk brake, double piston
* Rear drum brake
* Telescopic front suspension
* Double adjustable rear shock breaker
* Fuel tank capacity 13 liters
* 4-stroke OHC air cooled
* Piston Diameter x Stroke 63,5 x 62,2 mm
* Cylinder Volume 196,9 cc
* Compression Ratio 9,0 : 1
* Max Power 16,4 PS / 8.500 RPM
* Max Torque 1,62 kgf.m / 6.500 RPM
* Oil Capacity 1 Liter
* Manual multiplated clutch
* 6 speed transmission system
* Gear Operating Pattern 1-N-2-3-4-5-6
* Electric and Pedal Starter
* 12 V - 7 Ah Battery
* ND X 24 FS - U9 / NGK DP8 EA-9 Spark Plug
* CDI-AC Ignition System, Magneto


I already planned some more upgrades to it. Once i finished The Dog project, i'll focus my next project on it. Some of the upgrades i have planned are replacing the front suspension with upsidedown type, rear disk brake and maybe some oil cooler + electric fan. I don't want to work on the engine since it's already powerful enough for daily cruise around Jakarta. Besides, i don't want to risk reliability and comfort by modding the engine. I'll have The Dog for those times when i feel the need for speed.

Here are some more pics..
Right now it's just sitting in my house in Jakarta, used only when i am back to Jakarta. I'm thinking of having it shipped to where i work currently. What do you think?
