Good luck with the move. I have been north of Auckland for the past 5 years. If you have questions, fire away, though it looks like you are pretty sorted anyway.

Has anybody here ridden one? What are your impressions. I have an option to buy a 2016 one with 1300 kms on the clock. It is the limited edition scrambler. Bear in mind that our dirt roads are way better than those in SA so comments about suspension travel and not having 21 inch front wheels are...

JMOL if there are any caps left over please keep one for me. Will see you in Dec/Jan. Thanks

A couple of photo memories to cherish there. Well done. That Honda was my first (big) bike in 1979!

This is really messing with my head. I don't live in SA any more. What to do???????

The above posts are accurate. The micro dots are really ugly and they put them on just about every removable part of your bike. You need to be able to prove that you have owned the bike for 12 months and you will need to sign a declaration on arrival that you will not sell the bike within 24...

Man, if I lived in SA, this would be in my garage already. Lovely bike. Good luck with the sale.

Don't sell it! Take it with you. Just get Stuttafords to do the paper-work and the crating. It will cost too much to replace on the other side.

The sentiments of the author probably fit with the guys going back to the Honda XLR 650 and DR 650. There needs to be a connection, however emotional it is, with your machine. I am currently riding an XR200R ( Early eighties ) which I restored. Initially I found it boring until I took it on a...

Dankie JMOL, lekker saamgery in n omgewing wat ek goed ken.

Hey JMOL, sorry I'm missing this. It could have been my 60th birthday bash but it's a little far for me. Enjoy!!!!!!

Not 'one of a kind' as there was one in East London in the late nineties. Alan Krauspe owned it.

Here we go again. For over 100 years motor cycles have been designed to be sat on. Why stand unless the terrain has become so rough that standing alleviates discomfort?
