Is motorcycling allowed?

[IceCreamMan]

Honestly, anything over 100hp for road use is just bragging rights.

I see the new KTM Duke is also getting winglets.

The same winglets that apparently only add downforce at 250kmh+ so on a naked bike it would be completely for looks. Also first thing to break if the bike fell over in a parking lot. So new revenue stream for the manufacturers!!

So now the ous can also brag they have something “with wings”.

NZD15k for a used DRZ400.

 

Seems a tad over-capitalized...

Jip, it's like spending R100k on a 1986 Citi Golf and thinking it now makes it worth R130k.

 

He modded the wrong bike. If it was a rally raid style KTM 690 then maybe.......

Sweet lil bike and looks like it could be had for 10k NZ.

 

Lots of guys ship bikes to oz and ride around these days, maybe the next guy thinking of it would buy and do it on this.

 

Cant think of worse bikes to do it on.

 

These I don't think were official imports here cept for a few years in the mid 00's . They become quite expensive in second hand market, quite sort after. the guy who MOTs my car had one. Sold it for nigh on 6k.

Yup, the RemoteMoto bike.

 

I have a RemoteMoto account which I used a lot when I lived in Christchurch. they have awesome trail maps and points-of-interest for dual-sport/offroad riders. the owner of this DRZ has personally been responsible for mapping out thousands of km of offroad trail on the South Island.

 

Here's the post detailing exactly how much work went into that bike

As far as I know that guy now rides a 2016 KTM 500 EXC-F SixDays. The princely sum of $15,000 is probably to try recoup the hefty cost of the KTM and kitting it out for adventures.

But hey, at least the "is the bike alright" thing has been around for that long, eh?

My mate got himself in a bind, asked if I would buy his bike, I said, with pleasure.

 

This is the end result

Any Adventure bikers here?

 

I sold the MV and bought a GS. 1st long ride yesterday, Pretty sure I've lost some hearing with the wind noise. Ear plugs helped but not by much.

 

Any recommendations about the wind noise?

What ear plugs you using? 

 

I swapped from Alpines to cheap clicks ones (The blue with the three "ears") made a huge difference

That's adventure bikes generally. Noise levels go up, and even more so if wearing adventure helmets.

 

Depending on your height there are a couple of ways to tackle this. Taller screens, better improved ear plugs. Some even advocate shorter screens.

 

Ultimately it will be a noisier experience though.
