    Advice needed on F800GS purchase

    I had a 2013. My water pump started to leak. Seemed to be an issue even with the preface lift. My seat was also replaced 3 times as it started to tear at the front (where a normal fuel tank sits). This was apparently from the bonding process on the new seats covers which didn't like being...

    New F800GS or used R1200GS LC?

    I am leaning towards a used full LC model. New price is a little beyond my reach (and without extras) hence I started looking at that vs new 800 but I think my mind is made. Sent from my SM-A510F using Tapatalk

    New F800GS or used R1200GS LC?

    If I was buying a Trophy Edition I would rather go for the Africa Twin but it lacks the gadgets and show off bits that the full spec 1200 has. I think after having the 800 with ESA (which was great but not always used outside of normal setting) and the other electronics buying the Trophy or...

    New F800GS or used R1200GS LC?

    I was at BMW Motorrad in Centurion earlier. I saw the new F800GS in that new Matt Blue on the range. Almost as nice as my Kalamata was.  The sales guy also swayed me when he showed me pics of their riding and what they do and where they go with the 1200. I think am sold. Would be great if BMW...

    New F800GS or used R1200GS LC?

    I have never liked the look of the Triumphs but I read the reviews.  Concensus was how great the motor of the 800 was. Sent from my SM-A510F using Tapatalk

    New F800GS or used R1200GS LC?

    Hi Everyone, Been a while since I was on the forum. I sold my 2013 F800GS in 2014. I just couldn't ride anymore due to some health issues and missed riding it everyday since. I am finally ready to buy another motorcycle but I don't know what I want more (see topic). Each has pros and cons...

    Can't decide on a front tyre

    For a moment there I was thought maybe I should consider the T-63. Sticking to to my last line if thought and will decide between the TKC or another Karoo 3. I will let the T63 be the emergency tyre if stock and/or wallet  don't agree with the more expensive options. Sent from my GT-I9300...

    Can't decide on a front tyre

    Honda NC750X - gravel?

    Rumours I heard suggested that Honda is considering a purer touring version of the NC7x with a 21" front wheel. I honestly think that would be an amazing bike if the suspension is set right. I love this new F800GS of mine, definitely in a different class, but I do miss my NC700X at times...

    Connecting LED spots and using other headlight bulbs

    It does. Thank you. Will ensure I get a relay for the install. I have a read a small passage somewhere about connecting the lights through the Aux plug. Is this effectively the same as connecting it to the battery? I ask because BMW will void the warranty of the harness and and all things...

    Connecting LED spots and using other headlight bulbs

    After reading a small article in a local mag, I have decided to go with the Desert Fox Raptors LED lights from Bike Gear. R1695 a set. Comes with harness, switch and fuse. Question though, many say I must get a relay and a fuse. In layman's terms please explain to me the function/need of a...

    Can't decide on a front tyre

    Like I said, tyre is great but only indecisive because I wonder if there is a better tyre for my needs and wants. Should be at least as competent (but not louder) on the road in wet and dry preferably with better offroading abilities (ideal worlds I try create for myself). Last night I did...

    Connecting LED spots and using other headlight bulbs

    Thanks, Zebra Assistant. Will explore you site fully later. Battlestar, even R6800 is hectic comparing.  I will take a look at Bike Gear's site (if they have one).  I also go read up on the raptor LED Driving lights. I am cluesless to this to best informed decision will be based on opinions and...
