I have searched, but do not see the answer to my question in previous threads… I have been riding Adventure bikes for the last 20 years. Tyre pressure has always been about 2.3 bar front and 2.8 at the back. On my dirt bikes I have been running about 2 bar front and back. I recently saw a...

Maybe this has been covered before, but I have not seen it 🥴 I was wondering… there are SOOO many scams on the internet, especially with people selling stuff and then never deliver the goods. Has happened to me (not WD or bike related) and many others. I have become very wary to buy anything...

Our family is having a big get together in December… 60th wedding anniversary etc. In-laws have a farm near Kalkrand / Maltahöhe. We are going by car, towing a bike trailer with dirt bikes (not road legal). The thinking is not to drive long distances for two consecutive days. My planned route is...

I have been riding for many years. I have this vision of getting myself and 9 year old each a small capacity plastic bike to teach to ride and for to spend quality time together. I am thinking a Hero XPulse 200 Rally for me and kiddies bike for him. Maybe Big Boy Junior 90… just to last him 2 or...

Here is my thinking… my grandson is 9. He just lives riding with me. I am thinking of getting a bike that he can ride himself… All the “normal” size bikes seat height is still too high for him, but probably in a year or two would be OK. Now I am thinking that maybe I can buy a normal size...

I am planning to buy a new bike. SWAMBO ok with it as long as I sell before I buy… unlike the previous two times. 🤪 2012 BMW R1200GSA. Just below 55,000 km on the clock. Full service history. BMW Topbox. BMW dealership replaced the clutch with fix of an oils leak when I got the bike with...

2006 BMW R1200GS with 99499 km on the clock. Asking R69,000 a little negotiable. Bke is in great condition for age and mileage. I have ridden it for 70,000km without a single problem. With lots of extras including: Tinted screen with deflector Trax Topbox and pannier set Additional custom made...

Question. Does the wheels with brake discs and all fittings from a 2007 GS fit into a 2012 GSA? If I have a set of each, can I fit one set with road and the other with offroad tyres and use both on the GSA?

Does any WDs ride or previously owned a K1300s? I know there used to be a member with forum name K1300S, but have not seen him for a long time. Is this bike that one can ride reasonable distances with two up? Luggage for occasional short trips is probably a problem, or is it not? Any...

I was at an auction for reposessed vehicles today. Some of the real expensive cars went for absolute bargains... ML63AMG valued at R1M went for R340k. BUT there was a 2008 GSA spotless with only 22k on the clock that I was after. I have been following similar bikes on the forum and these are...

Having read the thread about the reliability of bikes, I was wondering when and what would fail first on my 8 or 9 year old GS. Ibought the bike 2nd hand from fellow WD in PE a few years back and have put about 70,000 kilos on since bought. I've had no problems, but as I get closer to 100,000...

Hi again fellow WDs. A friend of mine is moving to Australia and wishes to take his bike over there. He has however heard that the prcess to get the bike legally registered and licensed. Is there somebody that can help or give advice on what to do... or is the best to sell your bike here and buy...

Good day again WDs, A colleague of mine is interested in buying a bike in Bloemfontein, but we are in Cape Town. Is there anybody with reasonable good knowledge of bikes that can give a reasonably informed opinion of what he/she sees that can go to the owner's place in Calvin Crescent, in the...

I am about to change tyres and invite dealers in the Western Cape to put forward their best prices to me via PM, or open forum if you want. I am not going to negotiate, but pick the best and go with that. Please provide price with balancing and fitment included. You should have stock, or can get...

Is it only different model names in Europe and USA respectively?

I am helping a friend. I have done the search and found a few threads about the battery for a 2003 model with ABS 1150 GS (not GSA). It still is not clear which battery actually fits without modifications to the terminal or the compartment. Also, which battery is best, or which ones to avoid. It...

Would it be possible to tranfer my TRAX panniers and topbox from a 2006 1200 GS to a 2003 1150GS?

I heard of an old gentleman that is selling an 1150GS from 2003, but was bought and basicall stood in the garage for the last 11 years. Now has less than 10k on the clock. What would be a fair price to offer him for the bike?

This thread is about your EXPERIENCE with the UVEX. If you do not own one, or have owned one in the past, or maybe have a very close relative or friend that owns one, I do not really want to hear your OPINION. OK, I have browsed the threads about helmets for a while and are still a bit...

Good day again WDs Does anyone know what is the situation with bike parking at CTIA? At some stage there were some bikes parked just outside the exit/entrance between the parking garage 1 and the terminal building. I do not see these any more. Also occasionally see bikes inside parked in full...
