Around R40 000. So that I have cash to kit myself as well. At the moment looking at forum member's Dakar - Leo1 (it's in the smalls section). But as I said, my car still has to sell... I'm average height (1.77m) and weigh just above 80kg (I think). I'll be doing mostly commuting at first, but...

That's the type of problems I need in my life!

Yes please! The odd weekend adventure now and again is obviously the drive behind this plan...

Thanks Ganjora - The information and advice that I'm gathering/gathered is 99% from this forum. So I am open to suggestions, but my choice is also related to the available bikes on the used market at the time of the sale of my car. I don't want to finance the bike then sell the car.

Thanks again for all the replies! I know there is not that perception about bikers being scum, didn't mean it that way! Just wanted to get a feeling about it! It is not that I want to buy the bike just to save some money, I really do want one and it is a lot more fun in my opinion. But I did...

Thanks guys this really is helpful!! I think I should do it. Now I just hope that the car sells this week, have someone that sounds serious about it. Yes the topbox is a must and those easy overs do look quite easy. Will definitely keep you updated with what's happening. Thanks again!

Hi guys I am at a kind of a cross road at the moment. Considering selling my car and buying a bike to commute with. To give background: I am married and my wife has a car, so going on holiday or driving around on weekends to do shopping or whatever, we'll still be sorted. Furthermore, I am a...

Hi Leon, can you please send me your number if the bike is still for sale? Zero84threezero6nine83six. Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk

Nevermind - I passed. Centurion still written tests, by the way.

Die dag as iemand my kar koop, ry ek Harties toe en betaal die bike. Maar dit vat nou bietjie lank...

Hi I am writing my learners on wednesday, 18 September. In centurion, so I believe it's the computerised tests. What K53 book should I buy? I see at CNA there are a few, but all the Q&A in it are from the old tests, which I have allready! Thanks

That is a beautiful bike yes and would love to buy it... A bit above budget though! Thanks, I'll keep my eyes open in the small ad section...

Good evening gentleman. I'm new here, starting to look around for a bike - hopefully I'll be a dog in one or two months. Probably a Dakar if one is available by then.
