I currently own a 2012 990 adventure and thinking of buying a new 1290 SAR. I enjoy riding offroad but we never really do hard offroad single track or anything. We typically do Swazi and Lesotho gravel roads. I really enjoy the 990 and it is great offroad. The challenge is that when doing...

Just heard today that Airoh have launched the replacement of the S4. The S5 has a flip down sun visor and the vents can now be closed/opened. Apparently it will only be available in SA end of Jan 2014. Pricing will be just over R3000. Definitely going to be value for money.

I have a small issue with my mirrors. They move around and then I need to adjust them. This even happens on a tar road with a strong wind. They don't move at the "elbow" part as I have fastened that, but move at the top. Is this a common issue with the standard mirrors?

Went there on Saturday morning to have a look at the Mitas E-07 and E-10. Even though the E-10 would look awesome on my 990 I wanted to fit the E-07. Better suited for our 50/50 riding. Unfortunately they were only receiving their stock later that day and I did not want to wait 4 hours. They...

Got to witness a rider crash today on Pomona road. I saw the guy approaching and noticed his sidestand was out. Not even 10 seconds after that he swerved in between slow moving cars and went over the bars. He did stand up on his own power but looked like he took a serious knock. Looked like a...

Hi I have just recently taken ownership of a 990. My background was MX bikes so i was use to washing and oiling the air filter after each ride. What is the best practice with the paper filter when riding quite a bit of gravel roads?
