Another 10k "review".

I went to have a look at the bike this afternoon and I'm very impressed. Fit, finish, overall style, everything is on point. As pointed out by virtually all reviewers the cockpit is a bit cramped, but you have the higher seat that solves that issue. Other than that I couldn't find anything...

The more I'm seeing if this bike, the more excited I get. Might very well have to retire the cockroach. Other than the slightly cramped seating position, which is fixed with the rally seat, I'm not finding anything not to like.

Thanks. Thought as much.

Awesome. After they allowing anyone to walk in off the top take it for a spin? On a sidenote, how's the seated ergo's? I'm also 1.78m tall.

Ja, OSMAnd sucks at routing, hence the use of Brouter. I also add extra waypoints, but generally only two or three is needed to get a very good route. The example I posted above has no extra waypoints and still routed via the Darling railroad track. Just using OSMAnd's routing skips that...

I'm aware of the setting, but by the OSMAnd developer's own admission it will stick to larger gravel roads. With Brouter you can get it to even follow footpaths.

I've been using OSMAnd for a couple of years and prefer it for the options it gives you. Like most apps it will mostly try to keep you on paved roads, but there is a solution. Have a look at Brouter. Originally developed as a standalone routing app for mountain biking, but you can tweak it to...

First review of the 450MT that I would trust.

Where's the Thumper Bash being held?

Looked like a KTM 640 to me

Ja, I guess my phrasing was a bit wrong. Wanted to know if anybody knew about this and whether it's worth it. You've answered most of my "questions". Thanks

Is anybody aware of this? Tried searching, but couldn't find any info. Adventure Bike Fest

As a weight watcher I'm definitely not going to argue about that. Still, the crap is something the market wants.

The problem with comparing this bike to the KTM or Honda is that those bikes are race bikes. Small tank, no (or limited) lights, highly strung, and not made for road use. To get them adventurised will cost you and by then you're probably looking at well over R200k. This bike is a small ADV and...

Some sort of mountain goat.

CF-Moto has been around for quite some time, 1986 I believe. They've also been in SA for a while, but this will be the first bike of theirs. Been quads and SxS tool now. They have dealers listed across the country, so I think parts availability would be quite good.

I've watched a couple of "reviews" from the launch of this bike in the Philippines and it does look tempting. 190kg wet weight is a bit much, but this is a parallel twin with quite a bit of extras. Really keen to take this for a spin.

I've been using the PC version for about 3 years and so far it is very good. Like KiLRoy said, the peak has a bit of a buzz to it at speed, but otherwise no complaints.

What, and spoil the fun of having a project that suits unfinished in your garage for a couple of years until you sell it for parts.
