Thanks for buying that as saves me the Hassle, think that would be real good possibly the best model and great mods
Would be keen to catch up and check out the collection
Both the DR and the KLR are heading out tomorrow so will be swapping over for a comparison (results will most likely be DR is faster and KLR newer)
Would have been tempted, IMHO Its a better ADV bike than the next model, really quite off-road worthy and with the 800 motor and less weight should go very well to, you will know soon and would be keen to check that one out and compare notes
I notice a major weight difference for sure and even took this thing around the bike park ok
Found this video of the Big R
....wherezz that track go
Shame about the choice of music! Has to be muted to watch and then you lose the benefit of that lovely growl from the exhaust!
I parked the DR outside for a bit, put what I thought was the steering lock on...
Well, it was locked and it also if turned a tad more not only locks but turns on a parking light... Nice European spec being a German DR 800s
Because it was a bright sunny day, didn't notice. Rolled it into the garage and used one of those flash jump starter thingy...worked a treat, got the engine going but no electrics obviously.
It is now on charge and will be I suppose for 18-24 hours...
Tell ya what, those little jump starters pack a punch, charge, start bikes, and will also charge cell phones, laptops etc. Handy piece of kit to take away.
Both my V/Strom and the Africa twin have 2 lock positions. Both activate a park light in the 2nd position. The AT came from Austria so dont know if the NZ new models had this feature.
Ive got one of those little power packs too and they are awesome. Mine will start a 4 cyl car if its just clicking the solenoid. Always carry it now.
COP, "Ive been waiting to catch you all day"
BIKER "Sorry officer, I got here as fast as I could"
the DR looks pretty awesome as well 10BK
....wherezz that track go
And it even out oranges the KTM
So I can find easier on my favorites
Time to let both of these go.
You know the bikes and you know who I am.....
I will post some photographs soon, but if you are seriously interested, flick me a call or text.....or sens me a PM.
The history of the bikes is second to none as is the performance.
Merry Christmas all out there....
I am sort of back into the riding thing.....Batteries on charge, for me and the bikes.
