So die 800 (178kg droog) Kove weeg 20kg minder as die T7 (195kg dry), maar die CF Moto 450 (175kg dry) weeg ook 20kg minder as die T7? Waar sit die CF Moto se ekstra gewig dan? Is dit Chinese kilogramme? 🤷‍♂️

I had the same issue on my CRF300L - on long uphill sections or riding against the wind, it was a constant shifting between 5th and 6th gear. And then I remembered, it is only 286cc trying to hurl my 104kg body forward against many forces. 🤷‍♂️ These small bikes are awesome, but they don't like...

Very nice. Bajaj het ook n copy gemaak - ek het een vir so jaar gery. Baie fun gewees. Dink ek het R5500 vir n splinternuwe een betaal in 1998? Daar was n Engen garage in Durbanweg Durbanville wat die Bajaj's verkoop het.

These kinds of transactions take some mutual trust. I have sold a few bikes this way on this forum and never had any issues (that I am aware of). The finance house won't release the natis docs without settlement. The money owed is therefore paid directly to them. The rest (if any) needs to be...

Jong, amper te veel. Ek sal een of ander tyd review doen. Lekker old school bike waarmee ek proper conversations kan voer. 😎

Bel vir Berto, hy verkoop daai bike aan jou voor jy dit weet. Ek het die Bonneville ongesiens by hulle gekoop en hulle het haar af geship vir my. Baie happy met die aankoop.

Just to add some spice to the comparison, I wonder how the CF-Moto 450 would compare with the well-established, reliable Honda CB500X? Almost the same price, Honda a bit heavier (20kgs according to interwebz), power the same (more or less), Honda has 19 inch front where CF has 21 inch. My money...

I have had some pretty decent service from Bikeshop Rivonia and they have a nice selction: https://bikeshoprivonia.co.za/showroom/ I bought a bike or two from TEX in Geroge as well: https://texmotorcycles.co.za/ I got some pretty decent service from BikeBros as well, but that was quite some...

In that price range there should be multiple F800GS's available. They are competent, reliable, cheap to run, lots of accessories available and they still perform quite well.

Nog n groot issue is dat alle moderne bikes wat verkoop word in ZA, moet voldoen aan Euro emissions (trek ons nou al by Euro 5?). Die engines word leaner gestel vir minder emissions, wat maak dat hulle warmer loop, so goeie cooling raak al hoe belangriker.

Isn't there supposed to be a spacer between the opening of the clamp at the top so it does 'pinch' the canister? There should be some space for movement for the exhaust?

Not sure if you will have much choice...🤣

Never ridden any of the two, but based on what I have seen and read, it seems it is going to depend on usage. If I stayed on a farm and had to choose 1 to own for the next 10 years I would choose the Himalayan. If I had to choose one to do a quick ride or a weekend away and own it for say, two...

SNAP

Eish, reminds me of Alfa Romeo's Selespeed - those were hugely reliable...🤣

True, but Mitas is not the only/best option. For that 250, I would look at Pirelli MT21's and they are priced good as well. R1180 for the front R1930 for the rear

I like to use this as well.

It looks like you have already replaced the parts that matter. Does both hoses to/from radiator get hot? I think the easiest would be to take it to a radiator specialist and get them to do pressure test/dye test for head gasket and flush/clean the system. Then you can tick that box. What does...

I think all T7 riders will confirm it feels a bit dead, but once woken, it delivers. Ride one in anger and report back. 😎

Ek dink ons het eendag n kerel met n 750 Suzuki padfiets net anderkant Cederberg Wines ook gekry. Hy was net net stadiger as ek op my F800GS 🤣
