    My Kove 450 Rally February 2024

    Found this nice video on YouTube, "Why Chinese Bikes Suddenly Became Good - The KOVE & CFMOTO Story" :

    Wanted Looking for post 2020 690 or 701

    Noted, but for my 5 cents worth, I just battle to find a fit for the 690/701. For adventure riding the tank is too small, for trail riding it has to compete with the 500, which is much lighter. It's not an enduro bike, too heavy.

    Martin, read BuRP's feedback on the Kove 450 after his recent travels, in the company of 690's and 701's.

    Mooses (Honda 300 Rally)

    Runner can do it, but mine was done at Just Bike Tyre in Midrand. Otherwise ask BuRP, he does his himself

    Mooses (Honda 300 Rally)

    I tried it, but no thanks. If you have a tyre tear, you've had it. Difficult to install and a nuisance as well, with constant leaks around the rim.

    Mooses (Honda 300 Rally)

    Interesting to note the various responses concerning mousses. My personal experience is that a well lubed mousse will last the life of at least 2 back tyres and 3 font tyres. I have mousses on my KTM 500 as well as my Kove 450 Rally. Last year in Kaokoland I have travelled at speeds between 130...

    Did a nice weekend outride (500 odd km's) in the West Coast region on my Kove 450 Rally. Lovely riding from my home in Langebaan. Really enjoying the bike.

    Looks good Bart. Just came back from a leisurely outride here in the West Coast area, bike runs well, but still need to play around with the suspension settings

    Oukloof - Above and Beyond

    Ons was daar in Februarie vanjaar, beslis 'n "moet ry" area. Ons het maar net 'n klein gedeelte gery, so ons gaan weer terug. Ons het in hierdie gastehuis gebly, op ons eie

    The Unforgiven Trail - and the legends that tamed it

    Daar is dit weereens bewys, as jy hard genoeg probeer, dan kan jy jouself oor einigiets oortuig, soos ek het 'n nuwe fiets (500) nodig!

    The Unforgiven Trail - and the legends that tamed it

    Talking tyre pressures; we had a mixture of tyres with mousses, tyres with tubes and tubeless tyres. There were no issues with the mousses, there were some punctures with those that had tubes and the one bike with tubeless tyres developed a slow leak on the front wheel. With the mix of very...
