    1300 GS BeeMwee.

    I was just thinking about the power of "the net" the other day, and how it implicates our lives. RE the reception of an upgraded Bee Em Vee model. It is mostly a description of the goal posts have been moved. Every time. I have even witnessed a local review of the GS310, where it scored a...

    BMW 1250 Specials!!

    Ah but you are fooled mnr. Most customers comment on a new model that they dont smaak it and it is not worth the premium over the old model. Even after lengthy test rides. Then you bump into them 6 months later on the new model. The comment now has changed to the new model is so much better, it...

    KTM 690 - give it to me straight

    Who am I? A guy who has spent the last two and a half years riding a KTM 690 around the world. It was not an adventure bike when I bought it. But with some work, it has taken me to hell and back. After 120,000km and 42 countries, she is still going strong. My bike and all my camping gear is...

    Hou onmiddelik op om te vertel wat aangaan by Stb Donford. Oom Dan gaan daar opdaag as n sogenaamde fanboy en die clucth glip storie spin na die tyd.

    KTM 690 - give it to me straight

    Well put, and agree. liedjies om die kampvuur was/is tongue in cheek of course. You dont need a fat budget or 2 pages spec sheet monster to go riding, just the wish to ride/adventure. I recall meeting a guy in Die Hel a couple of years ago, on his CX500. I am sure he was having as much fun as...

    Seriously, this is a very nice incentive if you are within this market segment. Especially in these difficult times. BMW is playing the market so well; you need to be rolling new wheels out the showroom floor if you want to be successful.

    My precise thought too. I have ZERO percent interest. Will never understand the hype of the land crawling MSC Sinfonia.

    KTM 690 - give it to me straight

    It is not a get on and go bike like the japs. Get involved and do maintenance, simple stuff like cleaning your tank and strainer plus filter. Cost you time and sweat only. Had a 09 690 and a 2016 701. Lekka bikes. If you always going to doubt it when riding, it will not be a good switch. Then...

    Does anybody know this 701?

    Was my bike, paar mnde terug verkoop. Geen idee of dit nog aan dieselfde ou behoort nie, of die toestand van dit nie. Ek self tob nooit oor sulke goed nie. Na die 701 het ek n bike gesien wat ek in belangstel in oos londen, die ou gebel, gese hou die bike terug vir n dag, in die bakkie...

    En neem aan dus die spesiale matjie waarop jy saans opkrul in die fetal position en saggies huil oor die geld wat daai 2 outjies jou kos om aan die gang te hou. Only kidding, bikes is baie mooi.

    Off topic, maar ek wou jou nog heeltyd vra oor jou keuses met jou plastics. Heel duidelik jy verkies die 4 strokers bo die 2`s, maar wil graag hoor wat jy al gery het, wat jy van hou (en wat jy nie van hou nie). Jy is welkom om n PM te stuur, maar dit is n genuine request.
