    Bikeshop Boksburg

    They are a grey bike dealer . If you not worried about the bike being grey and not planning on selling it soon then you shouldnt lose out to much on resale .

    Versys

    I have owned 2 KLR 650's and a Versys . Versys suspension is too hard for offroad , rather ride the KLR on a smooth dirt road before the Versys . On road the Versys is the best bike I have owned , quick off the mark , handles well and can get to 200 with a push . Even on track at Zwartkops I...

    Buying a 2nd hand plastic, advise needed…

    By playing I assume you mean riding offroad not MX tracks . As mentioned a KDX 200 will easily handle your weight and they are cheap to maintain and run forever , not the best suspension but easy to ride and comfortable . Try get as new as possible bike as a lot of offroads are not maintained...

    pre 2008 klr vs. 2008 klr

    I have owned both a 2005 and now a 2008 , the 2008 I would say is more refined , it has better brakes , the motor is smoother , slightly more power ( only slightly ) suspension much better on road , wind protection is better. I dont do much offroad with the new bike , i have a plastic bike for...

    KDX200 for a biggish oke

    The KDX is brilliant , I would just change the fork springs and shock spring to suit your weight , the bikes suspension is not balanced from the factory , ie front is rated for about 70kg and the back for about 85kg  . I had a KDX for a year and a half , with front springs done and it went...

    Buying a bike - Official vs Grey

    Also had a grey Superbike , most of them have low milage and are in good condition . But I would never buy a new grey bike , if there is a recall on a model the official dealers will supply you the parts for free where you will battle to get them from grey importers . Also I would have more...

    The Rock near Jericho

    I have done it on my Husky , very scary to say the least . Photos and video's dont do it justice , you need to be there to appreciate the size and steepness of it . I wont try it on the KLR on any other big bike .

    Run it in fast to get a fast bike.

    I use this method for running in my offroad bikes ,  bikes feel stronger than bikes done the old method . Also ran my new KLR in like this , and she runs well .
