Is motorcycling allowed?

That is one hot bike!

Seeing in your mirrors ... never knew one could do that, whenever I look in the HD's mirrors all I see is a shaking shiny thing.

First Maiden Ride on the G650X, good long weekend behind the back.

Did my K53 drivers test for the motorbike this morning and passed ... so fully legit now and can legally throw the wife on the back of the bike

HOW FREAKING AWESOME!

I picked up a nice little commuting steed for my incredible 1.2km daily commute 
I haven't had a bike for a while, so it's been fun to ride again.  It's not the most powerful bike I've ever had, but it serves its purpose well.  It's been well looked after and has a nice throaty exhaust on it.  Enjoying it so far, and it's also the first bike I've ever had where I can leave all of my kit on and in the bike and walk into a shop like a regular person!  Have never had that before with any of my other bikes.

I see them standing on the showroom floor here and always thought theyd make great commuters, especially in DCT form

I recently had the Duke serviced in Somerset West, full Desmo service plus belts and valves. Perhaps I mentioned it before. Anyways, I did not ride the bike much as the mirrors were shite, full view of my shoulders. So I ordered some mirror extenders from Ducati…….Wow, what a difference, nice to see the Polos and GTI’s coming now as they try to dice when I am cruising at a whopping 130 kph!
This bike is insane…..no traction control or ABS, in fact no rider aids whatsoever. I love it. The roll on acceleration is ridiculous especially after fitting the 14 tooth front sprocket…….it scares and excites at the same time. Turns out it is actually reasonably comfortable for a 200 km ride! The brakes are outstanding, the front end feel is remarkable. I explore the capabilities each time out on the machine, of course not wanting to exceed them!   For she me is a 13 year dream fulfilled! I have removed the rear foot pegs and also ordered a seat cowl to replace the “rear seat”.
 I look forward to the next outing on this beast!

 

What a damn sexy scoot that is......

What is this bandwagon I am being discussed in?

I have downloaded your chin bar file and looking at it now to line it up and print it. Will let you know once done

Where do you guys go to get a printout on a bikes previous owner or anything.

I went to traffic and police station and both said to go to the other one.

  Trying to get the papers for my 03 kx125 to get it street legal.

Has it been registered on the Natis system before?  If it has, then its a nightmare.  If it hasn't and you don't have the papers then its a nightmare.  
It's possible to sort out (I've done it both ways in the past) but its a mega bureaucratic 'mare. 
If its been on the system before and the license hasn't been paid every year then it could end up being cost prohibitive.

 

Why are you wanting to get it street legal though?  Do you have a full homogolation kit for it? 

 

But to answer your question, its the licencing centres that can help you.  Matt can take you to the one in Fish Hoek (I've taken him there before so he knows where it is) otherwise here's the complete list:

Thanks ill go through the link.

I went to the fishoek license depo when I renewed our car licenses, They couldn't help me well I was there and said I need to go to saps hence the site saying otherwise. 

have no clue if its on the natiz system and can't figure out who was the og owner. Kawasaki can't even find the vin on their system....  

I just want a street legal 2 stroke. There's not many options out there.

Is that a typo, 1.2 km's...no good for an engine that.
