Picked up my 2011 DL1000 on Saturday. After me and my better half's first breakfast run this morning it is at 2095km.  :ricky: Happy times, so glad we can finally enjoy bikes together.  :)

uhm... 2015 Versys  ::)

I suppose you guys down at the coast will get marginally better fuel consumption compared to us up here in. Gauteng with the increased atmosphere pressure. I average about 19.3 km/l commuting and doing 110km/h. Another factor that will influence the fuel consumption is the length of your...

Geluk Skeltonsc, dis n pragtige fiets daai!

Sjoe daai is regtig baie mooi!  :drif:  Baie geluk Doringboom!!  :thumleft:

So would cruising at 120km/h for 200km on end with the stock sprocket ratio count towards over revving it?

Not my bike, but a rather innovative idea for case savers. Got it from the DR Facebook page.

Bodge, daai Katoom van jou lyk bevange!!  :drif: :drif: :drif:

Vir almal wat nuuskierig is oor die nuwe V-Strom, julle kan die V-Strom app gaan download. Met die app kan jy die bike van enige hoek af bekyk. Hulle noem dit augmented view. Jy print die wit en swart prent uit waarop die bike staan en wanneer jy na die prent kyk met die app wat jou kamera...

Got this from the DR Facebook page. Just goes to show how versatile the DR is  :deal: Net soos 'n paar DKW skoene.

I am also all for the chain, for all the reasons TVB listed. And I am just in love with Suzuki's 90 degree V-Twin. I had a TL1000S and that engine sold it too me. In my mind the new V-Strom's engine will be even more amazing because of where the maximum torque is developed. Torque wins over...

Baie mooi Karoo Rider! Soos van die manne hier sê, jy het nou die braai bou gogga in ons wakker gemaak.  :biggrin:

Ai, ek kom loer maar elke dag hier in met die hoop dat jy al jou bike gekry het. Ek is vrek nuuskierig, so ek kan myself net indink hoe die wag aan jou knaag Doringboom.

I was considering buying a tyre and fitting it myself. Maybe even balancing it myself. But I think I will just take the DR to a fitment centre and have it fitted and balanced there.

How crucial is it to balance your wheels after fitting a new tyre on a DR? Are the wheels balanced from the factory? Because I have not noticed any form of balancing weight on the DR's wheels. ???

I know this is an old thread, but the topic is still just as relevant.  :deal: Thanks for the great link michnus, some real informative reading.  :thumleft:

Lol, ek is so opgewonde oor die nuwe Strom, sien nou eers dit is nie jou fotos nie.  :spitcoffee:

Ons worry nie oor die panniers nie!  :biggrin: Gooi bietjie daar vir ons n paar pichas van jou bike!  :ricky: Flippen mooi fiets, baie geluk  :thumleft:
