Get the vin number and phone Celeste at Honda Tygerberg and ask her to check the service history for you.

I rode it and it pulled strongly but noticed it has quite a bit of vibration at about 3000 rpm but didn’t know if that was normal. But I didn’t check the rest closely as I wasn’t really in the market at that price, so can’t offer a more informed opinion.

Anyway I have Long Covid and have lost 15kgs of muscle and only have a few hours of energy in each day, so I'm not about to do a lekker trans-Karoo ride. I need something light and well behaved. I have my equally-beloved 2008 Subaru Forester which is similar to the Vstrom in that it will take...

You are so right but then it would have cost closer to R100k instead of the bargain price of R63k OTR!

So, I ended up trading in my 10 year old NC for a brand new Strommertjie and am very happy. I named her Joy because the mellow yellow makes me happy. My first Joy ride was along the Atlantic coast.

I get it. A warranty is a form of insurance that is designed to drive you back to the dealership for services. I'm happy to pay R1,800 annually for the work that goes into checking the bike over, servicing it and for the overpriced oil. I am tempted to go it alone but also see on the FB forums...

Awesome thanks

Thanks! I can’t find the Warranty T&Cs in there. Also there must be a fuller description somewhere. Specific question, does it have to be serviced at a Suzuki dealer? My closest one is not close enough and has a history of overcharging me.

If it all works out, I’m buying this Dec 2023 baby with under 3000km with top box and Rockfox crash bars. Excellent condition. I enjoyed riding it very much, looking forward to exploring the power and torque peaks in the upper rev range What would a fair price be? How much do Suzuki charge...

Hi. I see this bike advertised by dealer. Has your friend sold it or is it just on show there? If sold, please update post. Thanks

Hi Christiaan Tempting with all those great upgrades. What does the maintenance schedule require at the next service and when is it due?

Hi Very nice bike. Is this the model n before the upgrade, without the oil cooler?

Hi Lars, I tested one of those, quite a thrilling ride. What's the service history, who does it in CT and what are parts availability and pricing like?
