    Bike sales up - guess who is buying

    Die groeiende gewildheid van afleweringsdienste sedert die Covid-pandemie het tot 'n stewige herstel in die plaaslike verkoopsyfers van klein motorfietse gelei, maar dis steeds net sowat 40% van die rekordsyfer van 1981 (84000 motorfietse verkoop in daai jaar), het die Association of Motorcycle...

    No CRF250F for SA?

    Totally different bike. You cannot do with a CRF300L what you do with a CRF230F or CRF250F. F is for trails... I have ridden Funduros and gnarly Transkei trails with the CRF230F, weighing 100kg. The CRF300L would not have survived.

    Itchy Boots - New Season

    Getting the same bike twice in a row is so boring, but then she had two Himalayans in a row. CRF300 Rally with seriously upgraded suspension would be a no brainer. Reliability is a key issue here, and the previous 300 did 80K with minimum issues.

    Itchy Boots - New Season

    The new Himalayan, at 198kg wet plus 30kg luggage - 40kg heavier than a CRF300L. 230kg is a lot of weight to lift. With 29kW - almost the same as the CRF300. She is smarter than that.

    Itchy Boots - New Season

    Weight is a real issue for her - picking up a bike. And she has tasted the benefits of a good suspension. Not sure if the Himalayan ticks all the boxes?

    Grip change?

    One setting higher, it has to work through the extra rubber, but it still works well. I have ridden many a Sutherland winter morning with these. No problem.

    No CRF250F for SA?

    Why is the Honda CRF250F not sold in SA? Many a high performance and costly high maintenance dirt bike do the rounds, but if I look at the diehard nature of the CRF230F, the low cost of ownership and the popularity of the CRF230F, I cannot understand why the CRF250F is not available in SA. I...

    Anyone here gone from a LC GS1200/1250 to a T7

    I have ridden both. They are two different kettles of fish. Big heavy 1200 with 19" front and pods restricting leg movement vs lighter 700 with 21" front and more offroad bias. T7 feels a bit dead compared to the 1200, but it is lighter and serves a different purpose. T7 felt a bit agricultural...

    Grip change?

    I fitted Grip Up grip protectors. Much easier, and friendly on the hands. I have stock.

    Electric vehicles. Wow. Just wow!

    Terwyl ons nou 'n ekspert het: Moet 'n mens 'n elektriese kar eers warm ry voor jy hom "floor"? Jy verkort bv. 'n ICE se lewe deur hom te trap voor hy warm is. Sekere Italiaanse modelle beperk rpm totdat die enjn warm is. Is dit waar van 'n elektriese kar ook?

    F900GS: who ever thought that BMW would build a KTM challenger?

    Who ever thought that BWM would build a bike worthy of comparing to a KTM 890 Adv R?
