It is about rand and cent. Mike Hopkins motorcycles used to sell them, but the fact is that RE is a niche product. In SA the competition is fierce, so selling an underpowered and relatively heavy Indian adventure bike to the South African public that are spoilt for choice is difficult. Also...
Waar is daai mannetjie wat die popcorn eet - prentjie?
Ek wil werk, en jy trek my aandag af - al weer. Wel gedaan weereens, en dankie vir die mooi stories🤠
I had a bike shop owner as client with a R1150GS who fitted a Power Commander on his bike to make it go better. He had all the equipment and did such a good job that he sent the map to PC HQ. Problem was that the bike did not want to start with his map.
Thing is: many German engineers worked...
My eerste ou band "burnout" was met 'n 1983 Honda CX500, in my pa-hulle se motorhuis. Baie rook - ek was besonder suksesvol, maar daai merk het nog steeds op die garagevloer gesit toe hulle die huis baie jare later verkoop het.
Ek dink my pa het maar net sy kop geskud😏
Good news is that Acerbis makes bigger fuel tanks for the CRF250L. The 7.8l capacity is OK for city use, and fuel consumption not too bad (20-25km/l), meaning that you will see a 160km+ range on average.
The Acerbis tank is 12.5l, or 4.7l more than standard, which is great because you can see...
For the first time in a long time I have a 2nd hand BoosterPlug for sale. Came from a Kawasaki Z400, but will fit a range of bikes:
All MV Augusta that can take BoosterPlug
All Triumph Twins (AC and WC)
Kawasaki Nija 300, Ninja 400, Z400, ZX-6R (2009-), VN 900, Z1000 (20210-), ZX10R (2006-07)...
Die 300 se raam is anders. Rear subframe is vasgesweis.
MAAR die 300 se cockpit is groter. As jy 1.97m soos ek is waardeer jy dat die handlebars so bietjie meer vorentoe is.
Die 2017 CRF250L rev beter uit, verby 9000 rpm waar die 300L strem begin voel verby 7500 rpm. Klein verskilletjies, maar...
If you are a biker, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga is a must!
Bikes, wherever you look. Interesting that they used Harley Davidson and BMW as sponsor. I am sure there are a few dirt bikes in-between.
Here is an interesting article on the star of the movie: a radial engine beast...
Vanoggend is ek trots op my 5555 posts. Vir die gemiddelde WD neem dit nogal so 'n rukkie om hier uit te kom.
Dankie Wilddogs, vir 'n fantastiese forum en mense. WD verbreed jou verwysingsraamwerk en is 'n wonderlike plek om te wees.
I have a 22. Biggest change is plastics. Brilliant bike. And perhaps KTM connect where you would be able to see your phone gps on the screen.
Just get one.
PS. Know that the performance pack is free for the first 1500km, then you have to pay to retain quickshifter, speed control and rally mode.
