Price reduced to R85000 in the interest of a speedy sale.

Buying a house and it doesn't look like I can afford both! So with great sadness I have to let her go... :'( Its a 2004 model with 33 900km on the clock. ABS and heated grips. FSH with BMW. Panniers, top box, crash bars and spot lights. In excellent condition.  R90 000. Any takers?

Yeah that's gonna be my new excuse: Honey! come ride with me or else I'm gonna wipe myself out without you!

This weekend I finally convinced my wife to go for a ride with me (2 years after getting the bike), she's scared of riding and generally not to keen on bikes. So we go to the dam and back and everything's going pretty well. :) On the way back past swartkoop race track I'm following this car at...

I've got to give credit to a dealer when its due. When I took my 1200GS for a service at Bavarian BMW the other day, I asked them if they could maybe try and find me a second hand headlight to replace my broken one, as I didn't fancy spending R3200 for a new one. Also asked them for a demo bike...

There's something thats starting to really piss me off with BMW. When something small breaks or gets damaged you have to buy the whole component to be able to replace that small part  i.e. If the headlight cracks on a 1200GS you have to buy the whole bloody thing, R3200. If a small rubber seal...

Lekker pics!!  Next time we go look for snow! Shouldn't be too difficult with the weather we been having... ;D

Yeah got back in time, in fact I even arrived early!  Thought the border might take a good 2 hours to get through. When I got there 5 min later I was through, what a pleasure! There wasn't even one car waiting, a few stamps and that was it. ;D Ride was very lekker, didn't stop much. Left at 5am...

Here's a few more pics from myself, my only regret was that I didn't manage to get every tumble! Just as you start to think your the Sand King, down you go! Slippery stuff that sand...

The fearless frenchman... (That's me) Trust me boet, I scared myself more than once on that course! Nothing like having a "OH S#*IT THAT WAS CLOSE :o" to slow you down a bit! You realise pretty quickly that you a long way off from doing the Paris-Dakar! Great fun, excellent instructor and...

I've owned both, my first bike was the Dakar and second the 1200GS. I actualy find the 1200 easier to ride with the lower center of gravity, to me it feels lighter to ride and manoeveurs better than the Dakar at both high and low speeds. There's a lot more power obviously and therefore you need...

Well, after looking at that website "Ride 2 Die" I'm definitely buying one soon! Would rather look like a doos than be lying on the pavement with a broken neck! Thing is all the protective gear we wear, apart from the helmet, isn't gonna save your life, might prevent some nasty bruise's and...

Well I'm thinking of getting some sort of mechanical breakdown insurance, 'cause the costs involved in repairing those bikes is just astronomical! If this thing break down again I doubt they gonna cover me again! If you are out of warranty and you have to pay for it yourself you may as well...

Well mine would definitely have said: F#&K that hurts!

Hello everyone, Just thought I'd give a quick update on the above sad story! Well, after I did a bit of moaning at the dealer and spoke to BMW customer care, they send the parts to be inspected at their head office and also came to inspect the bike. Due to the fact that the bike has always...

Well thanx for the comments, still got a sour taste in my mouth though! Will try speak to the ceo once I see the dealer isn't going to do anything for sure. Today they've asked me for the service history (all done by BM) and also want a description of what happened. Looks like they also gonna...

Picture this: You?ve been dreaming for months about those beautiful 1200GS?s sitting on the show room floor. So you gather your savings & go to a reputable BMW dealer to buy a supposedly good quality 2004 R1200GS that?s just out of warranty but looks brand new and only has 17000kms. So you...
