Hello everbody!

My name is Rafael, but you can call me Raph. I'm from Brazil, and I really adore motorcycles. Today, my bike hasn't got a very power, it's a Yamaha YBR 125 that I use just for go to work, but I hope to buy a Suzuki GS 500 next year and travel a lot. Here, the price of a good bike is very expansive. The GS500E (naked version, with body kit doesn't have here...) costs R$20,000. It's very expansive if you compare with the prices in USA, where it's a half of the price.

Well, I hope to find many friends here, of all parts of the world, and change tips too much about bikes, racing techniques and more. If you have any question about motorcycle in Brazil, I'll do everything to help you.

Thank's a lot!

Hell, that's £5,500 in real money. :shock:
That's damned expensive by UK standards.
Hope everything isn't that expensive in Brasil.
Welcome aboard.

Yeah, that's about $10,800 here, with a list price of $6,099 on the bike, a hell of a difference...
