Do you guys know when the 2024 models are hitting the showrooms here? Quite interested in that base model with the 21 inch front. Currently it is between that and the Husky 901 Expedition to replace my 1290. Although the day I let my 1290 go will be a hard day. It has a type of character that...

Ja. Verskoon maar hierdie rock spider.

So my BIL found himself a good second hand 1250GS up north and is busy driving it down to Strand. He apparently went off piste on the way back after he came across a bunch of bikers and joined them. Last we heard he was in Oudtshoorn this morning. Probably taking the scenic route back. Nobody...

Will depend how much sand you are going to ride. They are targeting the new 900GS as more off-road focussed. I would guess with a fair bit of sand and lose gravel riding, as well as more steeper technical tracks, that the range would drop to 200km. I know for a fact many T7 riders already rides...

T7 is a weird bike in the SA context. Too underpowered for the long kilos, and maybe a bit too top heavy if you want to go do some gnarly stuff. There is a reason the GS1200/1250 sells so well in SA. I consider my own KTM 1290 SAR not well suited for the really long rides. Seat is too hard and...

900GS's issue is it's small fuel tank. They should at least have made it 18l. I know it is not the Adventure version, but still.

A video from our own member Hollywood:

Jy soek strafdop by elke pitstop. :) En nie die lekker tipe nie. Die tipe wat met Jigsimur gemeng is.

Take a small bottle with dish washing liquid with you. Helps to get the tyre off and on the rim without having to speak Afrikaans like a Namakwa lander.

I have RST Adventure Pro kit. It is decent quality, but it is just not made for us boere. I bit narrow over the shoulders and neck. The pants are nice though.

I think Priclo in Koeberg Road should also be open.

That is exactly why I also only deal with brokers. Sure, they are more expensive than direct, but when the kak hits the fan, I just send e-mail to him and forward any correspondence to him. He sorts out all the crap. With direct, you are all on your own with their call centres and online claims...

He will struggle to get a 1200 with less than 50k on the odo.

Yes, that was not really an apples to apples comparison. And as is usual with all of his videos there are a bunch of know it all types in the comments section.

Lyk baie mooi. Ek kan redelik weld, en het rukkie terug myself ge-treat met 'n TIG welder. Om proper TIG welding te doen is 'n kuns op sy eie, veral as jy aluminium wil doen. Ordentlike jigs, lig en goeie kwaliteit elektrodes is 'n must have. Mens kan ook mooi sien waar die welder mooi egalige...
