With the new GS1250 we will just be paying for a lot  of unnecessary stuff that most people don't want and will not use just to comply to strict European emission laws.

And then there is the F650GS twin 800cc to confuse us even more....

I just love my 650 twin.  I have done some long trips on it and my wife finds it quite comfortable (same seat as the 800).  She is small and quite short though,  taller people do complain about the pillion seat

I am 1,85m  tall, bought my Givi screen more than a year ago.  It was one of the very first ones and I do have a problem that the handlebars touch the screen on full lock.  New ones have indents taking care of the problem.  I find the screen quite effective and ride with an open face helmet in...

I paid just over R500 for a K&N  filter at Hamman Autorad in Bellville when I had my 20 000 service done last month.  The K&N  is also good for life,  just have to be cleaned and recharged from time to time

I love my Bm 650 twin to bits..... and it has tubeless tyres!

What is this KTM thing you are all talking about.  'n New Yanmmie perhaps like Yamaha KTM or is it KZN? :lamer:

Hulle noem dit jeukgatsiekte.....  No cure for it.  One thing that really bugs me is tubed tyres on the 800.  Two flats on the 650 were fixed in a jiffy.  Thanks for the advice, maybe if I wait a bit and think some more the siekte will go away :patch:

Whith a shaftie like the GS why not load the back wheel onto  the hitch and leave the front wheel to carry the weight and do the running.  No wear on the gearbox no chain to remove and it might even improve your turning circle? ???

The best part is when you come short.  Jy stof jou broek af, pick the Vuka  up  like a bicycle and off you go again.  Marketing ploy or not ...it must have been fun ;D

Oh where are the days of carburettors, gravity feed petrol tanks, XT's, bloudraad and pliers..... New technology is brilliant, but only up to a point.

This can seriously f-up your knoblies!
