    1250 GSA - What tires?

    I had Karoo Streets on My 1200 GSA. Hated them on the Karoo sand roads and hated them on wet tar. Just before Bloem there are lots of cracks that have been sealed (like a black spider web of lines). I happened to go through there just after rains. I was so close to loosing it as the bike would...

    1250 HP- Current stock all with Black rims

    You now can order either black or gold rims for the 2020. The 2019 only came with gold (im talking HP) Mate of mine hates my gold rims so ordered a 1250 with Black rims. I would seriously consider swapping my gold rims for black although I have not had any issues with the gold - its just a...

    Akrapovic test versus standard - 1250

    I forgot to mention both bikes have done around 13k kms. The point about the post is just the Akrapovic makes no difference really compared to standard no matter what it costs. As for cars, i dont doubt that cats can get blocked up but interestingly, i actually suggested, the removal of the...

    Akrapovic test versus standard - 1250

    Sorry I missing your point. Its not about affordability its about if it makes a difference and the only difference I can tell is its noisier. Also I was at Ferrari the other day and there was a guy there picking up his Ferrari, as it had just been serviced, and he was moaning about the cost of...

    Akrapovic test versus standard - 1250

    So a friend and I rode to CT and back on our 1250's. He has the dove grey and I have the HP. He has a full Akrapovic exhaust system without a catalytic converter and mine is 100% standard. What we found: - There is a slight acceleration advantage but this could be due to me being about 20kgs...

    Where has your bike taken you today?

    Back to Johannesburg from CT. Even did some dirt. Fuel consumption was shocking due to the really strong winds trying to kill us! https://youtu.be/OL7173HmBWY

    Do you still greet fellow bikers?

    Ive just arrived in Cape Town on the bike (from GP) Every single biker waved on the way down. As I came into CT from Gordon’s bay side I had two guys on GS’s pull up next to me give me the thumbs up and rode with me until they had to turn off from my route - near CT international airport...

    Do you still greet fellow bikers?

    Yes Ive started doing the same. Taxi drivers love it also. Call them Mageza Pompie and they love it and laugh. I do this so maybe, just hopefully they respect us more. Not that I find taxi drivers the worst on the roads. I often see a guy on a KTM (looks like a plastic but not sure what model)...

    Do you still greet fellow bikers?

    If you drive a Ford Ranger, do you great every Ford Ranger you see on the road? Answer surely No. So same for bike. If I drove a Ford Ranger I would be miserable and probably won’t greet anyone as I would be hiding and hoping no one recognized me 🤣🤣
