I popped in to Droomers to have a look.

They are on the floor at Droomers now. PDI completed, but they cannot register and license them, because the NATIS certificates have not arrived yet. No ETA on that as yet. The wait continues. I was hoping to take the new bike on our 4 day ride to Die Hel which starts tomorrow, but that will...

Really, Chelsea Droomer informed us today (those who bought one from the 1st shipment), that they expect them only next week.

The deal Droomers was doing, is R20k fully refundable deposit to secure a unit. The dealer in George, worked on a 50% pre-order deposit. Dealers only need to pay CFmoto SA when the bikes are despatched from Jhb. No real cashflow risk. The limited numbers available locally are due to...

Its not a small importer. They have been operating in SA for decades already. See powersports.co.za and cfmoto.co.za Same company.

That is just for Cape Town. Other dealers around the country also getting stock with the same shipments. Why so few? Because the factory cannot keep up with huge demand worldwide. In New Zealand for example, they have already pre-sold every unit arriving for the next 9 months.

Holts Amti-Mist on the inside (R50 from Midas) and either C-Thru or RainX on the outside.

I went to look at the bike brought in for homologartion, today at Droomers CT. Very impressed. Rode a little turn around the carpark. Extremely light clutch with a nice wide friction zone. Neutral is easy to find, both from 1st as well as from 2nd. Throttle has a smooth, predictable onset from...

I would like to order a complete set please, with the Anti-vibration option. Please send bank details. WhatsApp 0824148448 Delivery via PUDO to MBT Parow.

First shipment sold out. Expected Oct/Nov. They are extending the pre-order deal on the second shipment, expected about a month after the first shipment. Pricing depends on what extras you pre-order, e.g. panniers and racks, etc.

This shows that CFMoto is making great effort to meet, or exceed Western expectations. Because of the type of riding I do, I want a workshop manual, preferably in PDF format that I can carry on my phone in the bundu, on my iPad in the workshop and on my PC in my office. My previous bike (don’t...

The parts catalogue is also very well presented

I have just read the workshop manual, cover yo cover. No surprises there. For reference, the piston diagram.

Paid my deposit on a 450MT today. Ordered a grey model with the high fender. Surprised that it is an extra 2.5k when ordered from the factory. In other countries, its extra only if ordered separately, no extra charge if the bike is ordered with high fender.

I have the Rhinowalk set of four bags. 2 x 20 liter, 1 x 30 liter, 1 x 10 liter. The bags are OK, but the straps are really crap. The metal flat-hooks bend open then fall out of their loops. I have to take a few spares along and replace them on a ride. They are cut from flimsy aluminium...

Thanks for the update and the warning. We shall take it very easy on that stretch. I have seen that road with knee-deep ruts across it in the dips. Its time they installed culverts in the dips that regularly wash away.

We will be visiting Ann and Christo on Tuesday night. We were there last weekend, just before the big rains. Looking for feedback on the following dirt roads, from anyone who used these roads over this weekend: Anysberg Reserve Prinsrivier Road (From Montegu/Ouberg to Ladismith) Witteberge Road...

Dirt Road Cafe is wel toe. Die plaas is verkoop en hulle moes uittrek. Hulle soek ‘n ander perseel om te huur.

Google Maps will get you to a destination, but not to navigate a complex route of your own design. And works best where you have a mobile signal. To ride rural area with no signal, you must pre-download the map for that area for offline usage. Its just not suitable for adv riding. The Zumo is...
