690 / 701 is die antwoord! :D

The 15km highway turned me away from suggesting a Hero or Djebel or something like that.

The fact that Kawasaki sat or still sits on the old KLE 500 is still a missed opportunity. I guess a single can be a lot lighter but then I do feel you can't really get lighter and more performant than the KTM690/701 and the new Ducati Single and still have the same highway manners and 10 000km...

It will take a lot longer for you to outgrow the 390. Also if you are commuting on it etc the tubeless tyres are nice that you can plug it and forget it. Also nice is you can have traction control that will save your butt as a novice in the wet. The 390 is also fast enough for the highway. Had...

7 Helmet tests later and I'm back on the Arai Tour XD-4. The 5 is out now improves buffeting and is ECE22.06. but man it's expensive if you can find them haha. Scorpion, Shoei, Nexx, AGV, Nolan, Aero, Schubbert and finally again the Arai. Mostly fitment and build quality. The Shoei is great but...

Not the Norden but after I saw this the starry eyed sheen from the Duc faded a bit for me. Still an awesome bike. Tough but awesome choice to be making. Where do you ride mostly? Do you carry a lot of luggage? Norden is probably more useful and carries its weight lower - I rode an...

Had the Vstrom and the NC750....really tough call. Vstrom definitely a more fun when you get going and has more space for pillion. The Vtwin engine is smooth as silk and it can feel like different bikes depending how you are using it. Don't underestimate the DCT NC for fun up to 120kph. Even...

My limit in een dag was 670km op n 690. Toe skree my agterstewe vir verlossing. On the 1200GS I’ve done more - probably around 1000km or so in a day - a couch in comparison 😁

Owned many of the main brands ( BMW, KTM, Yamaha, Kawasaki, Honda) and a many different models within those brands and all of them were good for different reasons. I shop the model not the brand. My favourite of them all was the KTM 690 as it just did everything I needed in a bike at the time...

Model Y safety test

Hey Colin! Going well! You?

From a Can-Am Dealer meeting in Barcelona

😁 yeah very happy! We are really loving it here and appreciate every moment. I have some 2 wheels that I started taking off-road on trails… but you have to pedal. 😁 It scratches the off-road itch for now at least.

Well it’s got a 5 year warranty and an 8 year / 160k km warranty on the battery with an option to extend for 1 or 2 years. They garuntee no less than 30% degradation over that period. 30% is quite a lot I guess but stats on the net shows usually you get 8%- 13% or so. Mine after almost 3 years...

Yeah I guess if one removes warning labels we will have a lot less people, but also I guess these days these people don’t read anyway. For me though it makes a 12 hour straight through drive a breeze vs my old Audi A4 - also much more comfortable seats mind you. I wonder how many accidents...

So as an owner of a Tesla I can perhaps answer a some questions or explain some of the incorrect statements. It’s important to note that Autopilot and Enhanced Autopilot is basically a type of cruise control that brakes, and keeps speed turns and drives for you on the highways and when you...

Could be a really nice Tourer / Commuter. Some rumor has it that they MIGHT bring out a Tiger Sport Adventure with a 21" front and different suspension later. This falls in the group with the Tracer 7, Versys 650, Vstrom perhaps etc.

Something not mentioned before that  could maybe help -  it may be that you are griping too tightly and because you are "scared" of falling off might not be "loose" enough in your  elbows and shoulders. So next time you go  ride,  think.... "be loose!"

:biggrin:
