    790 R vs 890 R

    I think to know just how good the 890 R is you need to have ridden the 790 R. KTM have taken a fantastic bike (the 790) and have upped the game to produce a bike which is truly next level. Having done > 15000km( almost all off road) I decided to go for the 890 R and am absolutely blown away by...

    crash bars

    Touratech lower cash bars. Nice fit, fairly subtle, non obtrusive. I think they enhance the look of the bike. Expensive, but WTF.......Just be aware they come with a bracket which attaches to the original bash plate. Very solid bracket, actually strengthens the plate I think.

    701 clutch slave cylinder

    Hi everyone, the clutch slave cylinder on my 701 Enduro seems to have packed up. Have read of that happening fairly often on the 701 facebook site. Does anyone know where I can source either a Recluse or Oberon replacement locally? Thanks

    Riding the Himalayas of India

    In May and June of this year a mate and I from Knysna decided to ride the Himalayas of India. I in fact had booked to go on a guided tour the year before but just before that was about to happen Knysna caught fire and I lost my house and just about everything I owned (and no insurance). But Paul...

    rapid bike add on module

    OK, much as I love my Africa Twin CRF 1000 I've always felt it lacking slightly in final power, like it needed another 10HP or so. I read with interest the report on ZA Bikers on the Rapid Bike add on module which they added to their Africa Twin and the results thereof. Very impressive sounding...

    1290 SA impressions and feedback

    Hi Dogs, thought I would share my first month on a 1290 SA and at the same time compare it to the 1190 R which I rode for 23K, and despite all the hassles it gave me, never stopped loving it for a minute…what a bike…without doubt the best hardcore adventurer out there. So why then change you may...

    ktm 1190 problems

    Report back on my fuel starvation problem on 1190 R: turns out it was a fuel filter blockage from residue in the fuel tank. Apparently a known KTM problem on other models as well. So, new fuel filter, totally sorted, hope it lasts. While my bike was in, as a recall upgrade, the dealer inserted a...
