    Upgrading a little CRF125f

    I find my little CRF230 very, very helpful and practical on the farm, but she is getting on in years. Would love if Honda would bring them back,….they are now a CRF250f, with fuel injection. I would buy one again. Other day had a look at the CRF125f and its just to small, but I think the motor...

    Kawasaki Mule

    Looking at some other treads here its obvious that qauds aint very popular. Im contemplating one for the farm, the biggest thing that put me off them is the horrendous fuel consumption they seem to suffer from? They are worse than a Hilux. Somebody told me the Mule is better, but I struggle to...

    Kawasaki KLX300R

    There are so many nice bikes that would be well suited to our local conditions taht we dont get in SA. The Kawa KLX300 is surely one of them. I think this would be the ideal farm bike. It seem to be capable of doing slow work and good torque. Why dont they bring it to us? This is like a very...

    Since these motors are very high revving machines, why dont more manufactures not use synthetic oils in them? Most dealerships wil simply use Shell Helix or similar. Know of Honda dealers that do. Surely an oil like Shell Helix Ultra will be the best to use. Especially in the HONDA Crfs where...
