I have become obsessed with watching this on YouTube. These guys are insane! The throttle and brake control needs to be on point. I see there is a SA Facebook page but looks to be dormant since 2020. Anyone tried this before? Shorter vid There are lots of vids out there. Looks like...

Thanks for the advice. I am not very technical but I have the workshop manual and YouTube. I should be able to figure it out over time.

Hi There I have read the threads on here, but I have not found the same symptoms in the other threads, so please excuse if this has been covered and I missed it. 2007 610i SM as the title suggests. Bike starts and idles although a bit rough. When riding, as soon as the revs climb it starts to...

I would say 50K at the absolute max. Then all I should need to spend money on is transfer. Yip, everything is expensive but patience is free.

Ad says it all - not interested in paying thousands in legend tax, hence why not looking on Gomboom.

Are there any of these bikes in SA or only in certain regions? Do you think Honda SA is not bringing them in trying to force customers to buy up (Africa Twin etc.) because they make more on a bigger bike? I am also very keen on one of these but waiting for a bike that Honda eventually decides...

Where are you based?

Hi My wife is a qualified adventure and cultural tour guide. In her industry there are a lot of companies that are now marketing themselves as adventure tour companies but their guides are not qualified as adventure guides. It is becoming more and more of an issue in the industry because of...

All I can say is WOW. I hope it goes to a home that will love it as much as you have.

There must be something wrong with how I ride. Been in Cape Town commuting daily for 3 years. Only had 1 near miss and I caused it by speeding. Otherwise I've had no issues. What do I do? I ride just a few km/h faster than the traffic around me. I always give a cage a gap because in a few...

Summer time. The moment the Cape weather warmed up there were bikes aplenty. I also think the crazy fuel price is getting more people out on their scoots. I can drive my car at 10km/l or my scoot at 31km/l easy choice.

I bought a scooter for commuting specifically. Putting too many kms on the big bike. The 300i sym easily gets 30km/l and I ride pretty briskly. I've noticed because there are no gears, can't wheelie or wheel spin you just grab full throttle at pull off and it goes like a rocket. The other...

Yip I also own one. Keeps the kays on the adventure bikes down. I get 30 - 32km/l and it is plenty fast enough in traffic. It will lean low enough for you to scrape bits so beware. All in all an awesome machine for the price. I don't think I'll go back to a manual anything for commuting again.

I get around 300km it has a 10l tank then usually put in about 9l. The service intervals are 3000km but I just change the oil it only needs something more major around 9k. The only issue is when under warranty you need the agents to service but after that it's no issue. This is my second Sym...

I bought a Sym Citycom just for commuting. Keep the mileage off the Adv bike. I get 32km/l and I ride it wide open most of the time. 300i shunts I was surprised 140 on the highway at a bit of a push but 120 all day no issues. Must say this scoot has really surprised me.

Those are super cool bags. So tempted but eish too many Mandelas.

I've posted this before but here goes. Get your lid x-rayed. My boet is a doc and when he was still in SA he hooked me up. Now I just go to the xray place and they will do it for me. Usually for free. You can immediately see if there is a problem. I have a 10 year old Shoei that's been worn...

I think I'd kill myself on the 500! Mate is seriously looking at the Honda 250 rally. I'm going to get something smaller. I have a scooter for commuting now and the 1200 is too much bike for the rougher stuff. Maybe we both end up on tiny 250's and just go slower. We'll see.
