I must add, the judgement you get when trying to sell a bike that was actually used is a joke. People will ask why is the crashbars scratched, how much dirt you have done and why certain stuff like lights have been replaced with LED solid stuff which is rattle proof. Or where is the poopscoop. My GS's have been good deals but still I had to take at least a R10k knock each time as the adventure bike was actually used as an adventure bike and have done some kilos.

but replaced clutches, bent crashbars and scratched windscreens add character! It should come at a premium!

My CRF1000L just turned 1 year old and has recantly clicked over 16000km.

My GS is a 20 November 2015 model. Need to book the 40 000km service next week.

The reason I sold my 800 Adv was when I realised that I had not even seen it in 7 weeks, never mind ridden it. R140k standing collecting dust is not good financial sense. I peruse the for sale section here regularly looking at 800s, 660Zs, the new Africa Twin and so on. I even sat on the AT at Honda George recently. My heart beats faster, I envision lonely rides off into the sunset, see myself camping alongside the Orange River in the Richtersveld... Then reality kicks in and I realise that I just don't have the time to do these things.

I will probably soon buy an 800 or 660Z soon but will certainly not pay R80k or R100k for a bike to sit in my garage again. I get my biking fix from my little Bushlander that I ride every single day, it gives me a kick and I imagine myself off on an awesome adventure again. Sigh ..... $:-\$

Dit het beter gegaan toe my pa vir my gesorg het

Famous last words. I am eating humble pie.

Julle moet nie spot nie . Ekt n jaar gelede Tony the Boney se TR 650 ( Terra) gekoop . My seun met hom skool toe gery , seker so 2000km op hom gesit . Hy staan nou op 32000km . Het hom adverteer ....... niks soos in fokkolile..... Covid se almal . Ek voorspel dat daar in die volgende paar maande n hele paar bargains te koop gaan wees ....

The real problem lies with people not owning the right bikes for them.

If I had a GS1200 in my garage, I would also not feel like riding.

Overlooking the BMW jab, this is a real problem, a motorcycle, unlike your family saloon, should really make you feel like a youngster, wanting to ride more than anything else.

Once a bike make you feel like that, you'll be surprised to see how much time you can "make".

Dis seker waar wat jy "bedoel". Ek is bevoorreg om van alles en nog van die selfde soort in verskillende fabrkate in my garage te hê.......neeee, soms is daar net nie tyd om te ry wanner jy lus kry nie.....rerig waar

Ek het vanoggend weer ten minste 4 ure se ry ingesit, maar dis op n 300 so geen kilo tellery nie, en kan dus nie as "ry-afstand" gebruik word nie.

Wat bedoel jy met geen kilo tellery nie. Dit maak nie saak of jy met 'n 50cc help my trap ry of met 'n 1800 Harley tank nie dis 'n bike en dis fun.

Dit is, maar op die Xt of die 701 sou ek nou kon brag met n kilometer-lesing, die 300 het nie eers n uur-meter op nie.

Ek wens ek kon se net as dit by girls kom, maar ek kan darem nie so lieg nie.

Ek is deesdae bietjie van n mobile chicane.

Wens ek kon so bietjie gaan rondrits, ek mis dit iets vreesliks. Intussen toe diens ek maar die vrou se NC, my 500 en die 450, sodat ek darem bietjie nader aan die bikes voel. Was 'n fout, nou wil ek net meer gaan ry.

Self al lus vir n lekker ent ry, ek droom al van Hondewater.
