    Kove 450 RALLY vs CFMoto 450MT

    Heavy means you have to work harder in the technical sections. Heavy means more tiring to pick up.

    Sold 2005 BMW R 1150 GSA - 52k km

    Now fit a BoosterPlug Pistol. It will go even better and be the perfect partner to that aftermarket pipe to bring balance to the force☺.

    Itchy Boots - New Season

    That is what makes a good season. Some challenges along the way, and the story of how it was surmounted. Go Noraly!

    Itchy Boots - New Season

    One concern would be the 30+ year old plastics. Polished up to look nice? They become brittle and won't withstand the punishment as well as new plastic. One would have to see whether the front fender tool bag mod works. Some mudguards don't like the weight of a tool bag, and fitting a metal...

    Itchy Boots - New Season

    Just looking at the prepping and modding, the Kove 450 Rally is the bike she should really have gone for. I am sure that she learnt a lot since her first CRF250L where she bought the bike 2nd hand in SA, and there she went. The CRF300 Rally was out of the box - she did not even work on the...

    Kove 450 RALLY vs CFMoto 450MT

    Not so. CB500X has 19" front, and no ground clearance. It is a sports road bike. Kove is a full fledged Dakar bike; CF moto is a capable wannabe. CB500X is a city commuter that has been taken on gravel because the journalist had to, CF Moto can actually go off the beaten track, it is just a bit...

    Kove 450 RALLY vs CFMoto 450MT

    Thanks BuRP. Tell us. What are your findings (I saw your Kove thread, you might be partial☺)? Which one is the most comfortable on tar, travelling at speed to your destination? Cruising speed, engine buzz? And when you hit the dirt, what then? Can the CF moto be taken seriously? Is the Kove...

    Kove 450 RALLY vs CFMoto 450MT

    Has anyone compared and ridden these two back to back? Both are adventure bikes, but that is where the similarities end: CFMoto 450 is a parallel twin with low 820mm seat, a relatively heavy (175kg dry) 195kg wet @ R125-140K 2024’s lowest-priced adventure lightweight High-spec chassis and...

    CFMoto in SA

    What is interesting though, is that for adventure riders the scenery has suddenly changed. Before it was the great Japanese four and the European Four. Suddenly there are at least two, three quality Chinese contenders entering the market at the 450 Dakar point. This is going to upset the...

    Lumeo matress, any good?

    Tentco is very good. Not as light as the lightest, but it lasts.

    Why every Honda CRF1000 should have a BoosterPlug

    I can think that with all modern engines and Euro5 regulations fueling upgrades are needed. Unfortunately from 2021, Euro 5 regulations legislates built in electronic nannies, causing bikes to run in limp mode or leave you standing on the side of the road (Ducati). From 2025 even stricter...
