 Hong Kong defends currency - Aug. 18, 1997
NEW YORK (CNNfn) - Hong Kong's dollar, the only major southeast Asian currency yet to be devalued, is unlikely to be floated anytime soon -- at least if Joseph Yam has anything to say about it.
     Yam, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority's chief executive, said Sunday he would "burn" any currency speculators who try to attack the HK dollar in the same way other regional currencies have been attacked.
     Despite those strengths, Hong Kong's Yam said he will remain ever vigilant, telling would-be speculators to "beware."

I'm looking for something better than the DR250R electric start I have because I like riding and I'm past the days of having time to work on the motors too often so I don't want to hear you got to put in new piston and rings at 5,000 miles and stuff like that.
The new versions of these Yams with electric start and road gear are about to hit our shores and I wondered if they are worth buying and if they are capable of being pulled out of the garage every week without too many maintenance hassles.
Hey it might finally change my views and get me on the other brand as I have waited too long for Honda to bring out a decent 250 electric start.
