Service intervals are the same on both models, 1,000km first service and thereafter 5,000km between. South Africa will get only the 60HP roadworthy model but if somebody wants the 48HP model it is easy enough to get.

Are these bikes going to dealers or bought by individuals ?

I'm no tech funding but it looks like a good quality build?

Question: It looks like 2 separate radiators each with their own fan, I suppose that they work together. But can they work separate? If one got damage for example..

After watching this video I really like this bike. Seems to have a lot of thought gone into it's lay-out, and that frame is quite something.

17 liters of fuel is also quite useable.

Agree, impressive and practical design.

Background music fooking irritating

What an awesome vid, you really get to see the thought that went into it, and how cool is that airfilter!

Heck this thing is growing on me...

What’s the power2weight? What does it weigh?

Just to get an idea how strong it will feel...

R142k before the rand dipped, could be 10k more now.

SE is 0.5

AJP is 0.38

Both on Dry Weight

So about 0.15 power to weight

Perhaps they use the 93/93/CEE standard in Europe to calculate the weight.

90% of the full tank. 17l * 0.9 = 15.31l (1.351l = 1kg) then 11.3 kg + 155kg = 166kg approximatively

Hopefully one day the Japanese will have the sense to build something like this. I really hope AJP sells these by the thousands, they deserve it.

Horror!! Check how the steering head bearing gets greased. No wonder that almost every manufacturer head bearings kak prematurely.

True - the grease should be 'smacked in' using palm of hand till overflowing.

Also the reason why some take a new bike virtually to pieces on delivery and regrease and tighten everything.

My Yamaha XT600's head bearings show zero signs of wear, at 100 000kms, and I am sure they were greased like that..

It's the quality of bearing that make them last or fail prematurely. That is enough grease, and two turns of the handlebars has the entire roller surface coated.

Isnt grease suppose to be black!?

Grease comes in various colours marine grease is normally blue. What you probably didnt see in the video is the assembler pack the bearing before fitting it..
