You haven't lived until you've crossed Bangkok on the back of a motorcycle taxi in rush hour traffic. So glad the opportunity to experience the same life or death thrill is coming to Jozi.

only difference in Jozi is your dodging potholes and taxis, while in Bangkok everybody rides a scooter and your dodging people riding the wrong way and stray dogs.

I know Id rather try it in Bangkok than here though, as at least the majority of people are on scooters like yours.
 
The helmet part is comical, considering so many drivers at the moment don't have fitting helmets and wear them on top of their heads. Or just wear it like this

Conversely, can I sign up for Uber Black with an S1K? This sounds like an incredible opportunity to teach some folks what it's like to completely slide through rush hour.
 
Too many here want their ample rear ends impaled on a tiny sportbike's truncated tail and to be shunted back and forth with driveline lash.

I'll be asking for the K1600.

My 'driver' will have recently graduated from food delivery and spend most of his time trundling along close to the kerbside in everyone's blindspot. He'll filter to the front of junctions and then leisurely pull away annoying the f out of everyone. That's if is he deigns to stop at red lights at all.

None of his lights or signals will work and he won't have a reg plate.
