Do whilst drinking my Bavarian coffee I went perusing and found some things. Didn't photograph everything because there's a lot of bikes there but here are a few samples.

Huawei Mate 8, no filters or editing at all.

One big toy store right there. With to many sales people willing to sell you a motorcycle. How long before one asked you if he could assist you while browsing?

Was there for about 35 minutes, nobody asked me once. Had a lekker chat with the cleaner at the coffee station though.
 
K53 test doesn't seem too bad.
Gonna go book tomorrow

I like but with exception of perhaps the black one I can't see any practical reason to own these
At the price . Otoh the new Ducati 4 cylinder /runs off to flog old toys to fill piggy bank
 
My heart pounds for an original RnineT instead of this new cheap stuff.

But would need to be a second bike absolutely.

And a second hand X-Diavel could fill that space too.

And so it begins...

I do fear you are going to be looking at R165000-R170000 at the very least though as we’ll probably just get the near top spec models.

And this being new stock the R/$ might **** is even more.

Nah. Unlike the car test it’s a real test of skill.

If you can’t pass the K53 you can’t ride bikes.

For the most part, yes. But you can fail if you don't know some of the rules and procedures like the "correct" way to break, get your bike in neutral and back into gear to pull away again.

You may argue that the whole procedure of coming to halt in gear with your right foot on the brake before going through the whole footwork circus of getting the bike into neutral before repeating it to get it back into gear might be second nature or "obviously correct" but I'm willing to bet that most of the self-taught that never went for any training won't get it right on the day.

That 850 though... finally tubeless rims! decent power, better suspension and electronics. I reckon very late 2018 early 2019 for S.A to get stock (dealership said 2nd quarter 2018 - doubt that). Can't wait to see when they introduce the Adventure version, I'll look at that when my LC is paid off...

What I meant was more that many people who pass the car K53 actually still can’t drive.

Bikes if you pass it, then it actually means you can ride.

I advise everyone do at least do one training session before attempting it specifically for the silly little stuff.
