I spot an oxymoron somewhere.....
Nee ek kyk as ek belangstelling in n bike het soos Dirtwarp. Ek het self n Rally gehad so daai seisoen en die CRF 250L geniet. Selfde sal wees met die Tenere. Die Himalayan is nie n bike wat ek sal koop nie so het net hier en daar gekyk. Haar CB500X travels ook heeltemal n skip gegee. Die Kove sal ook interssant gewees het.
Expected soon in the News....
WANTED by Sidetrack: an antique Noraly-Replica Yamaha Tenere!
PS: Dan2Stroke het eene, nogals mooi ook, maar glo swaar hy sal die een laat gaan, behalwe natuurlik as jy stewig gaan hoes
Jammer syt nie die vorige model gevat nie, die een NET na die 34L, maar ook met die happy knoppie
Soos dit vir my lyk is die bike waarmee sy ry n 1VJ model maw die model net na die 34L. Met kick en happy button. Die dubbel hooflig model na hom was die 3AJ en die het net happy button gehad.

Interessant dat hulle die standaard voorsuspensie gehou het. Ek is seker daar is aan die suspensie gewerk, maar die tradisionele konfigurasie is seker meer betroubaar as die moderne Upside Down modelle.

Ek het al 'n pad gestap met vergassers. IMHO is brandstofinspuiting net baie meer betroubaar as vergassers.

Double the cc, huge tank, Yamaha reliability
Completely rebuilt (except the frame)
Going to be a good season
Wonder where the Odo and rev counter are?
Seker sy sal n ekstra petrol filter op sit vir lande met dodgy petrol

These stats might become an issue.

And I am not sure that this joke will make old bones. This bicycle bell is not loud enough for the speeds travelled, and the round piece will eventually work loose and get lost.

My seun het ons CRF230F verdrink op die Philadelphia funduro. Ek moes eers modderwater uit die vergasser was voor die fiets weer behoorlik sou loop. EFI is nie 'n probleem nie.
Front brake line will also need to be in a rigid sleeving otherwise it will kink, some work left on that bike.
Ja en hulle kan blykbaar baat by 'n boosterplug!

A plastic tank would have worked much better to reduce COG. Those big metal tanks are heavy!

I see Motogadget indicators, maybe they fitted a complete M-unit and gauge
Still lighter than almost all modern bikes that size

I didnt see this coming, when she test rode the 450L she said it was way too powerfull for her, so she got something taller and more powerful
