I mention WR because the overseas model WR250R gets good reviews. It is quite a different bike than the local WR250F. Is a road-legal conversion even possible? I would like to get myself a light, reliable and fuel efficient bike for typical dual sport use, i.e. run errands about town, breakfast...

They seem widely available in the classifieds these days, more so than the 250 Tornado. Apart from a couple of posts in the 125 thread, not much real-world info is available. So, now that the local market has had time to farkle and dissect a few samples, what is the verdict? Is it better...

The trip started out of the need to get to Vioolsdrif for a rowing trip on the Orange river. I have had standing invitations to visit friends in the Cape for a while and decided it was time to cash in all those rain cheques - and go ride some Cape passes while I am at it! I left Pretoria on...

This trip started as an invite from a non-riding (yet) friend, Naude, to join him for a fishing trip somewhere north of Xai-Xai. A quick check with the softness indicated no interest in heat or mozzies, so I was on my own. I sure as hell would have liked to try my old Subaru on the dunes (it has...
