Hi, im just looking around, good to know this bike its apreciated, so great resources in here, im from Ecuador and believe me this bike its so popular here, all the police force use it, same for Brazil and Argentina, so there are hundreds or thousands in here, that means a lot of parts and authorized Honda shops, and dealers, im trying to find a bike that suits my budget and aspirations, maybe a Tornado will do, good journey. If you plan buying an used one beware of possible stolen ones, ask the seller to go to ¨Comision de Transito¨ and, pay someone outside (a tramitador or maybe some officer with will to help you) a few bucks (10 – 20) to check chasis and schmaline numbers to match those in the registration (matricula), Quito and Guayaquil are the biggest cities, Cuenca also have a lot of ridding culture and very probably you will be able to check registration there too. another advice, be ware of being around with too much money, thieves sees tourist and know some of them usually carry big money, so be care night and day, dont stay in sollitary places until night, Im from Guayaquil and if you like i can help set you up in you come here for a reasonable fee, whatsap 593 980 861 946.
