Spot on Eberhard.  I fit into that category. We do tend to get on with our own lives and make the best of it. 5 years now  R AKA Long trips I ride solo use a 1200Adv and homemade rig no passengers(my Benher chariot) and shorter trips once a year transport my faithful 1986 XT250 nearer de hell ...

Hi Fuzzy I have a side car. I can assist. I live in Capetown though. Where would we meet ?

As berty77 mentioned...just filter in or out what you wish to see and walla... all you don't want to see gone

Also chose wise all my bikes and luved them all. My best and most reliable a 1973 Blue waterbus bought new and did 168,000kms in neighbouring states from 1973-1978 Still in my garage as a future project to restore. Now on my second 2009 1200adv never had a problem...what a awesome reliable bike...

Can this be done on a 1200 Rear brake very important on gravel. I have a 1200 ADV I would like to move foot break to handlebars. I ride only gravel if I can and since loosing a right leg(on a tar road... ef-fing cagers) above the knee I am now unable to use foot break. Clark and disabled forums...

Hi G, need to view tank, i am in southern suburbs

If this 250 is anything like the serow 225, with obviously more power, then this will be my next DS bike for technical trips like the Richterveld, Nam west coast and many more, My son owns a 225Serow and I have xt 250. These bikes get trailed for our annual father-son adventure to either Tankwa...

XT, I have dt250 project to complete in the near future. The bike is excellent condition no rust anywhere and complete. Would it help if you took a look at mine to help with your wiring? oh mine has no spark and bought piston at a price of 1400 to be replaced

Has this bike been sold already. See you mentioned a price drop fron 47000 to 47000 Contact zero 08fourthreehundred23two6

Do you still have the original tank. If so would you perhaps sell the after market tank.

Do you perhaps have the XT350 original exhaust. Mine is very noisy

Has the Gt750 Suzuki been sold? If not what price do youhave in mind. I think the 1973 model is the collectors item and if not mistaken this is '74+ model.

My original battery(2009-1200gsadv) lasted 3years-50000kms and a few months. Started giving me problems in Zambia. Walked a mile to find someone to jump start. When got back to Cape Town  bought Ultrabatt600. 6months later and a few thousand K's happy with battery. Starts well every time. In...
