Know of someone who increased front sprocket with 1 tooth and cruises at 100km easy or slower and gets 45km/l

If looking at 2nd hand DR's what are their main problems to lookout for? Oldest model to look at and max kms?

Budget... ahh yes. Such a lovely little bugger. Self employed and first bike combined pushes me towards the xr125. Can get a 2011 xr125 with 1100km for R10k. That's pretty good me thinks!👍::)

Good point Kilroy, I am 29. I do like the DR200/250 and especially the Djebel. Those bikes from the 90's are solid as a rock right, mostly mechanical and Die Hard's!?

 :laughing4:   :imaposer: I think if I pick up a good deal I'll take the 125cc and ride it for a year or so to build skill and confidence? Have bailed from a motorcycle twice in my life, both on the same trip in South Sudan. Hopefully the 125cc will be forgiving and not get me into too big of...

Going up to George tomorrow 10June or Wednesday 11June to collect a bike. Will have some room to take something up for a dog. Just note it will be on the back of a pick up so might get wet.

Sounds like 2T is more rough and power but 4T better for longer trips, which I would like to do. Weigh about 76kg. So 125 should suffice?

No reason, just had these two bikes offered to me at good price. And maybe just to teach myself the basics.

Like you guys said, no one can really fault the xr125 as it is what it is and still fun. Any thoughts RE the Yamaha DT 125 (2T) ?

Kort n bietjie hulp en advies... I am looking at getting my first bike for commuting and also doing weekend trips with friends. I have been looking at the xr125l of late and read mostly good reviews on WD. I am also considering a 2T and have looked at a Yamaha DT125. Any advise would be...

Was looking for some advice on the forum RE: 2T vs 4T and came across this gem, laughed my ass off for you guys! :imaposer: Would like to appologise for hacking this thread but it looks like you are the right guys to ask these questions and the thread looks sort of done!? My question, hopefully...

I have never worked on a bike before so have no idea what it will take to complete... bought it with intention to fix and learn but as I said my unforseen studies will take priority. Sorry you had to sink 25k. Also, not sure anyone can judge the mechanical state of a bike from these pictures...

Lieflikke bike daai!

Really... nothing better to comment on?

BUMP! Selling the bike separately now. Honda xl 500s 1982, needs attention but engine runs. R5000

The Bike going for R5500 alone

Hi Nomad. PM me if you are still looking for a xl500.

Talked to my friend this morning from SAPS. Told him the story, gave the engine # and two minutes later told me the "Blitzpatrollie" is en route! They pitch at the house and turns out another SAPS squad actually arrested him yesterday. Apparently the SAPS has a special team scouring the...

Thx motomike. I take it Dux is someone on the forum... or is it a bike shop?

So I thought I'd stick this question in here, rather than start a new thread on the same thing. I recently bought a xl500s 82 which is running, but not like a boss. I want to get it at least in a roadworthy condition so I can start with the deregistration and afterwords maybe make her pretty...
