Dont quote me on this but im sure Ewan MacGregor and Charlie Boorman used the BMW GS 1200 when they traveled across Mongolia and Russia…

As far as I could see the bike took a hammering but kept on going…

Well, the 1200 boxer engine is so fucking durable and strong. The power of that thing is scary. And when you don’t have the chain, but a driveshaft, you can drive a good time without having to stop for servicing, oil and that shit. It’s a overall comfortable bike.

Looked like a great show…

Some really good looking bikes at the show…

I like the new angular look of KTM…

Did you get any pics of the new Suzuki’s or Buell?

b6

Hmmm, na none of the Buell, but got one of the new Suzy Busa.

Too bad it looks close to identical to the old one. :(

Here’s most of the rest.

My brother has an 03 Honda Hornet900.

The first couple photo’s are the new model. He’s got a blue one.

He wanted to buy a trail bike also. He first looked at the CRF250X. Looks pretty good. But he wouldnt do THAT much off road on it. More of a commuter. The sticker on the rear fender put him off.

Since I fould out that the crf250 only holds just less than 1 liter or oil!! It has this sticker so people do not do big kms with out checking the oil. It has Seperate oil for the gear box & engine.

So he has bought the new XR250 instead. Which was a wise decision I think. Less power but with a bullet proof engine.

He used to own an 01 XR250 but sold it to buy his Hornet. But still loved the XR & always wanted another one.

I used to also own a XR440 from new. Until I sold it for my KTM.

That my friends, is a Can-Am Spyder. It’s wicked awsome, because the engineers worked their asses of to make it perfect.

What do you mean?

That’s the photo of the new Suzy Hayabusa.

That is the new one they are making that looks identical to the old one.

I dont like it at all. The styling is WAY dated.
