Having owned a G650x and a 990R (for comparison purposes) whilst the X served a purpose, the suspension was a massive let-down and strikes it off my list as a legend bike. I'd love to have tried one with a properly sorted fork and conventional shock.

Haha, he has too many already - share some with the rest of us @Noneking :ROFLMAO:

Second this. Very happy with my set.

Slight hijack - I'd love to know what it's like riding a dirt bike that's equipped with all that tech. Launch control and quick shifter must make for a amazing experience off the line. GLWTS

This. Enduro is a great discipline: challenging enough to quiet the mind, gets you to amazing places, great exercise, more than enough skills to develop to be stimulating and also has a fantastic community. Whatever you choose mate, wishing you all the best 💪

Love this bike!!!

Howzit Dogs, Any recommendations on a good independent KTM specialist in JHB who can do some routine maintenance on my 990? I used Offroad Cycles before and would again but don't have the time to take bike there and all the associated logistics. Cheers, Lim

I've tried many brands. Leatt is the longest lasting, most comfortable, and offers best protection The only tradeoff with hard armour is protection vs ventilation. Personally I'd rather sweat then hurt. Everything else is school fees!

There's a ton of info on the Clothing and Equipment section. Search function is your friend. (y) They all fit under pants.

Nice one dude. Keen to hear your thoughts on the new bike and what the riding scene is like there. Many happy miles!

A bike with a plate? That's more rare than a biker behaving like a chop.

To the OP: There are a few really smart replies to your question, and far too many fucking stupid ones. I don't care what you carry, but if you carry it you better be prepared to use it and have an intimate and practiced knowledge how to use it. CQC or any self-defence training will tell...

Gerrit - great to hear, thanks for the details. There's a vast market on the forum - post some more details, I for one would like to support a local business and by the sounds of it your gear is great. I'll be in touch.

Good to know, I'll definitely check it out 👍👍

"Offer minimum necessary protection... Classified as light duty protective jacket..." Looks very lekker, but I think Rally gear has a very different purpose to ADV gear. For one, I definitely fall off more than any Rally rider 🤣. I'd rather ride with something that has the best possible...
