I have been looking at some of the ride reports on YouTube for the 1250GS.  The one guys did a roll on from 30km/h to 100km/h between a 1200GSA and the ney 1250 and there was around a 4 second difference,. One could say that the GSA is quite a bit heavier say loose a second. Most of the feedback...

Just saw an article on News 24 via my phone that a 20 year old biker was killed in Tygervalley road this morning. The photo is not that clear where it was. A car was involved as well. Condolences to the family. I saw on Zelda's Facebook  page on Sunday that there was a hit an run outside...

This morning on my way to work on the N1 to Cape Town I came across a biker who was taken out by a car again. This happens quite a lot here on the N1  in the mornings on my daily commute. The guy who got taken out was standing on the phone and noticed the scratches and light blood on his hands...

What do you guys think of this colour scheme, I so love it. Would like my new GS 1250 in these colours! Mooi!

Afternoon all, I have heard from a reliable source that BMW are bringing out a new 1250 GS early in 2019. I have seen some photos on the internet. I try and replace my bike every 3 or 4 years due to my mileage as I commute every day and find I get the best trade in around this period. I was...

My colleague mentioned to me today that there was a bike accident between Durban road and Jip De Jager  direction Cape Town on Friday morning. She says she saw the bike and it was mangled but could see nothing else. It happened quite early in the morning so I assume between 6 and 7.30am. I tried...

I was quite surprised to not see something on WD re the bike festival at Kyalami this weekend. How was it? Any interesting news or happenings? Us Capies missed out on this.

My bike went in today for an annual service at 15 000km. I got a call to say that the back and front break pads need replacing. The cost is horrific, front pads R2573.96(2 sets) and the back R1319.00. Total R3893.93. This is crazy! I also question why do I need to replace both front and back...

Very, very scary riding home now from work in this wind and rain, crazy. One of the worst I have had to date. People still drive like schmucks. Will try and post photos later as I need to reduce the size. Travel safe guys.

Hi Guys , I am looking for a BMW 650 for my son in the R35k/R38k price range. I don't want a Funduro but the Dakar after this. I saw one on Gumtree now a 2000 model with 18500km and in good condition for R42K, pricing too high as I spoke to a mate at Donford. Trade is R25700 and retail is...

My wife phoned me this morning to check if I am ok as a biker went down on the N1 towards Cape Town, does anybody know what happened and if the person was injured? She heard it on KFM.

I buckled my rim quite badly a few weeks ago on a ride to Sutherland, I took it to some dude in Stikland and they could not get it right. I was then at the GS trophy trials and met Ruan who was part of the SA team that came second in the last GS trophy. He told me he has a guy that will fix the...
