Was chatting to a friend in the bike industry this morning who told me that from the end of this year there would be no more new KLR's, DR's or XR's coming into South Africa. This is because of homologation issues that the South african authorities have with these models. Apparently there are a number of other models that are also affected, including the XT660 (not the Tenere) as well as quite a few of the chinese brands.

So if you are in the market for a new 650 class bike, you better make a plan to get one soon, because after the current stocks have been sold there will not be any more coming into the country after the end of 2013.

Sad news as far as I am concerned.
