Well, boys and girls, there you have it; another issue jam packed with the latest on the market from adver sers and a collec on of informa ve ar cles.
It’s been hec c between the Academy and the Mag but your support and an cipa on for the mag makes it worth while and I want to thank you for that. Let me brief you on what to expect in this issue: fi rst of all welcome to the Ear Ins tute as a brand new adver ser and sponsor of Bike Talk.
From cover to cover I take you from Roger’s trip to Zambia, to the launch of the Super Tenere at Perry’s and the fi rst of its kind Burn-Out on the Beach hosted by CMA Amanzimto . Once again I share with you the importance of “Dangerous Emo ons” while riding and bring a selec on of the latest events with the What’s on Calendar. John from Gear Up gives some insight on Adventure Jackets to compliment our Reviews on the three Adventure Bikes. I then bring you two new items I’ve seen lately like the Mitas Tyres and “Rear View” helmet.
Then my friends it is me to stop and take “Time to Think” as life rushes past us and we spend too li le me taking in the things that ma er the most in life.
Later in the mag you’ll see a few things I couldn’t overlook at the recent Chicken Rally which leaves you anxious for the next one.
On the Technical side I had the opportunity to test the new Moto Ear Hearing Protec on and man did that open my “ears” so to speak. You think about dressing up for the fall but never for the deafening sound of helmet noise. I also share some thoughts on the Xkulcha Dakar pants for Adventure Riders.
On the review side I’ve been on the new Honda VFR1200, what a ride and then the main feature of this issue, the write-ups on the three Adventure Bikes; BMW R1200GS, KTM 990 Adventure and the all new Yamaha XT1200Z Super Tenere. This kept me busy and I need to add, provided me with the me of my life. Riding adventure bikes doesn’t make you grow old but rather grow up in the sense that me spent on the bike adds more value to your ride rather than the risk element of an accident on the road.
Running out of space and breath I’ll close in saying thank you for your support, reader and adver ser, it is heart warming to live in this province and among people such a yourself. Keep on riding safe, make the mostof it, make new friends and most importantly; keep it up. Blessings!

MOTORCYCLE RIDER MAGAZINE • ACADEMY • EVENTS
You are riding on a busy four-lane road heading for an appointment. Suddenly a car swerves immediately in front of you into your lane. You have to brake hard to avoid running into it. The car then speeds off and quickly changes to the le lane. You think, “What a fool!” You feel your anger rising.
OR
It’s late at night and you are riding in an unfamiliar neighbourhood. A vehicle comes speeding up behind you and sits right on your tail. The driver starts fl ashing the headlights back and forth from high to low beam.
What should you do?
Riding can be a frustra ng experience at mes. How can you control your anger while riding?
Emo ons are powerful forces that can interfere with the concentra on you need for riding. When you are feeling angry, anxious or sad, you become less alert. Your thinking becomes unclear. Your safety and the safety of others is in danger. At mes you may become angry or impa ent because of something in the riding environment. Crowded traffi c condi ons and high-speed freeway riding o en cause stress. Being slowed by other traffi c when you’re in a hurry produces tension. Riders who are tense or stressed are less tolerant of the mistakes of other riders and road users.
It is o en diffi cult to know what to do when faced with road users who are aggressive. Their lack of courtesy and bad driving habits can lead to crashes. Although extreme aggression, or road rage, is not common, mild aggression can escalate if you are not careful.
Whatever the cause of your upset, it is important to look at your emo onal fi tness to ride. Some mes it’s best to stay off your bike.
Strategies for Controlling Emo ons
Here are some things you can do to help you stay calm and in control while riding:
• Keep learning. Analyze previous stressful riding situa ons you have experienced and fi gure out what you can do next me to be calmer and safer.• Plan ahead. Increase your chances of staying calm by choosing a route that avoids crowded traffi c condi ons.• Allow yourself plenty of me. Being in a hurry can cause you to become angry or frustrated. Realize that if you leave late, you’ll arrive late.• Think of your own safety and the safety of others. This can help you calm down and focus.• As a rider you are vulnerable. Never return aggression — avoid eye contact and don’t gesture back. Keep away from erra c road users.• If you’re in a situa on in which you feel threatened, get help. Ride to a loca on where there are plenty of people (e.g., a shopping mall or police sta on).• Do not go home if you are being followed.• If you can’t keep it under control; stay home, someone is going to get hurt.

WHAT’S ON CALENDAR
Perry Yamaha, as usual, was the fi rst to introduce the XT1200Z Super Tenere to the local market on 17 May 2010.
The turn-out was normal for a mid-week event but had just the right people there; poten al buyers.
What I like about Perry events is that there is a lot of space to move around and a lot to see, however the food was gone before I got there; “Hey, who took my waffl e and ice-cream!?”
Anyway, seen here is Henry and Mark wai ng for your call to place your order
or be er s ll, pop in at Perry Yamaha, take the demo for a test ride and buy a new one. Read up on the review on page 26 and check-out the special on the back cover. www.perryyamaha.co.za
At an event hosted by BMW Umhlanga Motorrad on 4 June 2010, we said fare-well to Roger Scheff er leading a team up to North Zambia on behalf of Lloyds Register in establishing a school there.
Roger, having done the Durban 2 Dublin trip with Jaco and Howard in 2009, has more than enough experience to take this group up to Northern Zambia and bring them safely back to Durban.
Roger, Brian and the rest of the team is expected back in Durban on Friday, 2 July where they will be welcomed at an event in Doonside, just South of Amanzimto .
I am sure Roger will once again have many stories to tell when they return; just follow the Blog on the Moto Tour website and you’ll see what I’m talking about.
When Roger is not away on some sort of a tour he runs a very successful Off -Road Rider Academy in associa on with Country Trax based at Imbabala Game Reserve near Greytown.
Thanks again to Umhlanga BMW Motorrad for hos ng a smashing event, great food and a great amount of people. Visit the Moto Tour website for more on the Zambia trip. www.mototour.co.za

Amanzimto Beach saw the fi rst Burn-Out on the Beachhosted by the newly formed CMA Chapter in Amanzimto .
The morning started off with Prayer on the Road at three diff erent points, praying for safety and protec on of our biker friends and families.
From these three points the groups headed down to To Beach for a short 30 minute“come as you are” service and sharing from the Word of GOD.
This was well supported by the local biking community with almost 90 bikers, their families and friends a ending.
CMA believes that this is what we need as brothers and sisters in biking; we need to come together on occasions like this and pray together for one another, do what we do best which is love, caring and respect.
This was exactly the case; we went for an early morning ride, were encouraged by GOD’s Word and had a good breakfast at the To Spur that morning.
CMA Amanzimto invites one and all, big or small, to join them the 2nd Sunday of each month on To Beach for “Burn-Out on the Beach”.
The next one will be held on 11 July at 8am, so come by bike or by car but don’t miss this for the world. Contact Chris aan on 082 9797127 from more informa on.
FIRST GLANCE: Now isn’t this a beau ful bike? Combine ideas of adventure and motorcycling and the BMW R1200GS is the motorcycle that comes to mind. The R1200GS is BMW Motorrad’s best-selling model and has been carrying world travellers across the globe for decades.
CHASSIS AND SUSPENSION: Known for its Paralever and Telelever suspension, the BMW R1200GS is excep onally profi cient on-road. Going off -road on such a large motorcycle is daun ng, but the R1200GS Adventure model adds some components for extra dirt-worthiness and greater fuel capacity to take the BMW motorcycle farther. A single-sided swing-arm and sha drive are low-maintenance as is the air-cooled engine – an important selling point for riders who want to tour the world.
COMFORT: The motorcycle is comfortable all day in the saddle, riding alone or two-up. The seat (rider and pillion) was comfortable enough so you’d spend the whole day there and only stop to refuel or visit the li le room. The handle-bar posi on was perfect and at no stage of my me on this bike did I feel my arms wanted to fall off . My passenger added on how comfortable the bike was and could easily sit there and take a nap.
HANDLING: The handling of the GS was eff ortless; as for versa lity and sensibility; a competent rider aboard a 1200 GS can keep pace with most riders on sportbikes in twis es. It’s tall enough to be able to see over most standard cars (a plus in thick traffi c) and it’s virtually bulletproof. The bike allows fi ng of road friendly tyres or a set of knobblies for when you want to spend more me on dirt roads. On that subject, off -road, the GS with the right set of tyres provides you with the assurance of stability and rigidness without se ng you heart off on a tangent.
It’s an easy bike to toss le and right through bends and what be er way to back that up with the fi ed ABS and ASC (An Slip Control). Both can be turned off should you wish not to use it when on dirt.
COMPARISON: Power 81kW (110hp) @ 7750rpmTorque 120Nm @ 6000rpmBrakes ABSEngine 1170cc, TwinDrive Sha Dry Weight 203kgSeat Height 850mmTank 20 LOther ABS, ASCPrice R147 798Service 10 000km @ + R2800Top Speed More than 220km/h
CONCLUSION: The BMW R1200GS is large and in charge of the adventure touring division. Riders who can aff ord it will appreciate the comfort and abili es of the BMW R1200GS Adventure. Each me I’m graced with a BMW 1200 GS for a review I am swept up into giddy excitement and immediately start planning a trip somewhere.
BOTTOM LINE: If you’ve ridden a BMW before and a GS at that, change to a rival will be highly unlikely.

REVIEW: BMW R1200GS
RYDER MOTORRADTel: (031) 765 8877Heritage Market (lower Level)Old Main Road, Hillcrest
PERFORMANCE: Highway cruising speeds is easy work for the GS with 4000 rpm genera ng roughly 210km/h in sixth gear. That engine rpm was about ideal for me, though it revs much higher, I generally shi ed between 5-6K at the very latest, usually s ll in the fours. It’s where the motor is happiest blending smoothness and torque, second gear was best for anything off -road under about 60km/h.
A larger thro le manifold and revised air intake contributes to a higher rev ceiling of 8500 rpm and a 5% boost in horsepower and torque. An electronic exhaust fl ap and new muffl er internals gives the GS the Boxer thump, add am a er-market can and this bird will sing a diff erent tune.

The UltimateRiding Machine
K 1300 R
www.bmwmotorrad.co.za
The urban jungle is where you are in your element. And where the K 1300 R is too. One of the world’s most powerful naked bikes, it delivers all the things that you are not prepared to comprimise on: incredible power, outstanding roadholding, total control in any situa on, muscular looks from any angle - and of course, a pure hit of adrenalin, every me you ride it. The accelera on of the K 1300 R is guaranteed to send endorphin levels surging, powered by the 173 bhp of its 1293 cc engine. And it’s equally at home in the twists and turns of everyday riding as it is blitzing the quarter mile.

JUST FOR FUN: My Sponsored CB1000REvery year Honda SA gives me a bike, along with the 4 Academy Bikes, to ride for personal and training use. For 2010 they decided to give me the new CB1000R with ABS and boy do I love this bike; making it the 105th bike I’ve ridden in 4.5 years of Bike Talk.
It is such a good all-rounder that you never get red of it; ride it to work in traffi c or ride it to the Chicken Rally in Port Edward no problem or eff ort at all. Fine you can’t sit at 180km/h all the me like some touring bikes, but this is not a tourer or pocket rocket, this bike is made for absolute fun in the handling and performance departments.
It possesses enough power to bring the front wheel up, to take a gap when over-taking or just to cruise along at highway speeds plus “VAT” and take in some scenery.
The ABS on this naked boy is potent and can bring you to a solid stop at 85km/h in under 10m. The display is completely digital MotoGP style and easy on the eye.
Riding posi on is semi-upright leaving you relaxed but ready to lean it through the best bends KZN can throw at it. Its handling is supurb, easy to stear and counter-stear or drop into a corner; there is nothing unexpected about this bike. It is a stable and solid sa sfi er front to back and priced perfect.
Retailing at R105 999 from your nearest Honda Wing Dealer and available in Nightstar Black, Siena Red, Cool White and Vanguard Beige; I’m sure you’ll fi nd your match, go on! - HEIN JONKER

GEARING UP: Adventure JacketsWri en by John Briscoe of Gear Up Motorcycle Accessories
How on earth does one evaluate these jackets when there is no way of tes ng the real reason for wearing these garments i.e. protec on in the event of a fall? …!!!
I have made the assump on that all the jackets we sell have CE approved body protectors (elbow, shoulder and back). We have found that the more expensive jackets use a be er quality Cordura or equivalent and hence do off er a be er level of skin protec on.
The other factors such as Appearance, Weight, Fit, Zips, Linings (warmth and waterproof), Air Flow quali es, Water proof pockets, Inside Pockets (quan ty and depth), External Pockets, Velcro u lisa on, Sleeve joiners, Colour Connectors, Colour Range, Visibility, Suitability for SA condi ons, and Value for Money are all comparable within a subjec ve ra ng out of ten.
So what I’ve done is exactly that – drawn up a table and assessed each jacket in terms of what I’ve experienced whilst in the industry and prior to that as a customer. Yes, it may be biased but a er all it will be a guide against which you as the purchaser may be able to assess your own feelings about the jackets.
The table shows some really interes ng outcomes!
The whole exercise indicates it all comes down to the type of riding you are going to do. There is no jacket that tops out in all the categories. So the winner is the one, which scores most consistently in each of these. Similarly the jackets occupying second and third spots have also done well without domina ng any area. Another person may well score these top three jackets diff erently and the results could be extremely diff erent.
In conclusion: I have always said, the jacket which fi ts you the best, feels the most comfortable, suits your pocket and risk profi le, is the one to go for. Most of the manufacturers have a top of the range jacket e.g. Richa, that sells for more than R8000-00 and no doubt would be a winner, but it is just a bit too expensive for most of us and hence I have excluded it from the survey - not having ridden in one as yet. This by the way is the ”Ferrari” of jackets. So get down to your favourite dealer chat to him and please feel free to contact me should you wish to clarify any of my thoughts. As a fi nal perspec ve, the role of price is signifi cant and I’m sure would change the picture if this were categorised in terms of pricing levels – something for us to work on.
Why not email us ([email protected]) with your evalua on of your own jacket.

Sometimes tarmac just doesn’t cut it. If you’re looking for a motorcycle that is as at home on muddy trails and in open country as it is on winding mountain passes, then the R 1200 GS is for you. The boxer engine has been updated to give it more torque, improved responsiveness and better acceleration across the rev range. Now more than ever, the R 1200 GS combines the comfort of a touring bike with supreme off-road manageability. There is a world out there waiting to be explored - and the R 1200 GS is the bike to do it on..

REVIEW: KTM 990 Adventure
Tel: (031) 702 2034Unit A, 5 Mertle RoadPinetown
FIRST GLANCE: Just looking at this bike and its sharp dis nc ve lines makes you realise that this is one durable piece of machinery. From the almost ver cal screen, the bright colour, the slim profi le and the rigid frame hidden by the panels just shouts out: “I am as tough as nails, ride me any way you want and I’ll get you there!” Doesn’t that just scare you a bit knowing this bike might outlast you?
CHASSIS AND SUSPENSION: The fully adjustable WP - PDS shock provides for suffi cient reserves in every situa on. Thanks to hydraulic spring preload, it is possible to adapt it perfectly to the respec ve load by means of a fl ip-out adjustment knob. Suspension travel on the 990 Adventure is impressive at 210mm, whilst the 990 Adventure R off ers a whole 55mm extra and sets the standards with an incredible 265mm. The monocoque
space frame made from chrome molybdenum is the most stable and at 11kg, also the lightest construc on on the market; insurance for simple handling and outstanding direc onal stability.
COMFORT: Diff erent to the Yamaha and BMW rivals the KTM provides you with a single seat comfortable enough to take you places you’ve never been including the odd Iron-Bu or two. This of course is the only one of the three bikes where you could put the bike on the main stand and lie on the seat for a breather comfortably.
HANDLING: The off -road sized rims and heavily-treaded tyres should spell vague handling, but largely they don’t. The quality WP suspension is plush and only gets a bit wobbly if you start throwing it around at high-speed. Feedback is enough to inspire confi dence, and it rarely gets fl ustered. The KTM 990 Adventure has sports-bike kicking pace on less than perfect roads, or will trot along enjoying the scenery too. The twin fuel tanks require fi lling individually, which is a minor inconvenience but helps keep the bike slim-line and the weight down.
COMPARISON: Power 78kW (106hp) @ 8250rpmTorque 100Nm @ 6750rpmBrakes ABSEngine 999cc, TwinDrive ChainDry Weight 209kgSeat Height 860mmTank 20 LOther ABSPrice R142 999Service 7 500km @ ± R2800Top Speed More than 220km/h
CONCLUSION: The KTM 990 Adventure isn’t a cheap bike, but for your he y outlay you get a versa le bike that will tour, long-distance commute and hammer along back roads at an indecent pace. It’ll even deal with gentle off -roading in novice hands, and a set of full knobbly tyres add enough trac on to keep more experienced mud-pluggers happy. From street use to off -road hardcore exploring has never shown a meaner streak than the KTM’s 990 Adventure.
BOTTOM LINE: Once you’ve been on a KTM 990 S or R you will want to ride nothing else; this is for real men.
PRICE: R142 999.00 (S Model) or R146 999 (R Model) - Incl. 14% VAT
PERFORMANCE: I took the Adventure on the freeway so I could get a feel of how it performs under hard accelera on at rela vely high speed. Excellent! No ma er in what gear I was in, neither the rpm levels, the V-twin delivered the needed grunt that made the KTM feel able to pass cars with no problem whatsoever. Thro le response is great and the bike will amaze you with every twist.
But let’s face it, who am I kidding? The off road is where the 990 Adventure belongs and I was in for a rough ride. The trails are a kid’s play and I didn’t manage to fi nd it lacking the ability to suppress any obstacle that it has encountered. This bike relies on its race-inspired character to save the situa on and it does it with success every single me.

IN THE NEWSAppart from the fact the Chicken Rally was held at the perfect venue of Leisure View Holiday Resort (well-done Craig), we couldn’t help but no ce a few items well worth the men on:
First was this emaculate Honda CB750F (le ) which in my book stood a very good chance of taking the prize of Best Bike on Show. Hey, allow me to add my 2cents, I’m all for older model bikes that are well looked a er, that to me shows character and something money can not buy.
I couldn’t help but no ce this beau ful Goldwing Trike and Eddie my Thumper bro ge ng his fi ll for
the day at the local “XT660 hair salon”. Nice paint job on this Busa, so many layers of paint that it could probably not hit 200 anymore. Nice one Piet!
Lastly, if you can not aff ord sunglasses, why not use a Bike Talk to cover up and take a nap like this oke. You only see this at rallies, make sure you get to one soon or your whole life will be over before you know it. Thanks Craig, this was the best yet!

XKULCHA’S DAKAR HAS
GOT YOU COVERED WITH:
23
Spending me on an Adventure Bike can be fun but you may soon fi nd out that you are over or under dressed for the ride or condi ons.
Xkulcha addresses this market perfectly with their DAKAR pants specifi cally made for this type of sport.
For protec on they’ve added impact absorbing hip and knee pads for the odd spill, protec ng those points that hit the ground fi rst when you fall.
The pants are made from Cordura for great protec on against abrasion, and it acts as a water repellent and eliminates wind chill.
It even has refl ec ve strips on the back hem for extra visibility.
For comfort they’ve raised the seat area to cover the lower back area when riding plus they’ve fi ed adjustable waistbands for added comfort a er a huge meal or when you pick up some weight yourself.
Airfl ow vents at the crotch area and above the knee ensures a cool ride in the ho est of KZN weather. And to get the pants over your riding boots they’ve added a zip access, what an awesome idea.
Tipical of Xkulcha they provide you with enough pockets large enough to hold what you need plus a ni y li le clip on the hip to hold your bike keys when not riding.
These pants are very comfortable with no restric ons even where it ma ers the most for us men; between the legs.
Retailing for around R1200 a pair be sure to invest in one before your next adventure ride, it is well worth it and it looks good on you too.

Xkulcha DAKAR pants is for the prac cal and fashion consciously minded rider. All the gear, all the me. ATGATT!
REVIEW BY HEIN JONKERI recently had the opportunity to make a trip up to Richards Bay for some Bike Talk business and remembered clearly what happened the last me I went up on a VFR (800); I ended up ge ng a R2500 speeding fi ne, only this me I wasn’t going to make the same mistake again.
I was really looking forward in riding this bike to fi nd out what the Japs had done to the VFR1200 that was so diff erent from the VFR800.
Approaching the VFR, I noted it’s much be er looking in ‘person’ than in pictures. My eyes were drawn to the shapes, angles, contours, paintwork and interes ng use of metal accents. It’s unique, I’ll give it that. The VFR1200 is a sport-touring motorcycle and more likely to go against the Suzuki Hayabusa, Kawasaki ZX14 and BMW K1300S
rather than the sport-touring Yamaha FJR1300, BMW K1300GT and Honda’s own ST1300.
The motor pumps out a claimed 172 hp – not class leading, but certainly enough to put a smile on your face. It’s quality horsepower too, the 129Nm of torque make for a surprisingly strong mid-range once you’re over 3000 rpm. The muffl er has an internal servo valve emi ng a rather uninspiring tone at idle that morphs into that famous Honda V4 drone as the revs increase. There is no talk yet as to when we will see an automa c transmission op on (actually an electronically shi ed, dual-clutch six-speed) in the country, but the unit I rode had the standard six-speed manual box. I thought the hydraulic clutch felt a bit on the s ff side – not the light, silky-smooth unit I’ve come to expect on the VFR800, but the transmission itself shi ed posi vely and without eff ort. Instead of tradi onal double overhead cams, the 1,237 cc, V4 engine goes with Uni-cams fi rst found on Honda’s four-stroke motocross bikes. The cam sits directly over the intake valves (which are larger and heavier) while the exhaust valves are ac vated by a rocker system. This reduces reciproca ng mass as well as removing some fairly heavy components from the far reaches of the engine. The VFR1200 motor is not only lighter than the 800 version; it’s physically smaller, allowing for op mal engine placement within the frame. The rear cylinders are narrower than the front, so si ng astride the motorcycle it’s remarkably hour-glass shaped.
Once underway, the thro le response was consistent. The 76-degree V of the new engine, combined with off set crankpins allowed the engine to func on without the weight and complexity of any sort of counter-balancers. Just enough “character” seeps through the bars, pegs and seat so the rider knows he’s not aboard a refrigerator. The pegs and bar placement seemed pre y close to the VFR800, which is on the sporty side rather than the “sit up and beg” riding posi on of the more touring-oriented ST1300. A blast up through the gears was a real eye opener, once I hit 3000 rpm and up, it gave me re na-fl a ening accelera on. The VFR is so refi ned that it felt as if it was loafi ng in its own ‘happy place’.
The legal cruising speed of 120 km/h comes up at 3500 rpm in sixth making the VFR1200 an eff ec ve touring bike, although the 18.5 L tank will mean a fairly limited cruising range. Wind protec on from the double-skinned fairing seemed good, and the trip up and back to Durban gave me enough me to fully evaluate the “fa gue factor.” Curb weight with a full tank and all fl uids is a reasonable 268 kg only 18 kg more than the VFR800. Once underway, it feels like a 600, proving that mass centraliza on really works. The steering is light and neutral, and even the turning radius is quite reasonable as pulling feet-up U-turns on two-lane roads was no problem. A learning curve for me was that the turn-signal switch and horn-bu on posi ons were reversed on the le grip which caused me beeping the horn a few mes instead of signaling. Lekka dof!
Riding the VFR1200 a er having been on the VFR800 for a year was a real eye-opener. In reality, the VFR1200 is simply much more refi ned. A mere 20 minutes aboard the VFR1200, le me overwhelmed with an impression that the VFR1200 is extremely solid and a remarkable blend of performance and sophis ca on.

FIRST GLANCE: The much-awaited and an cipated Yamaha XT1200Z Super Ténéré fi nally broke loose with the goal of pping some of the adventure-touring kings off their thrones and I must say the all-new Japanese bike has all the creden als to make that possible. To begin with, there’s a great demand for big-bore adventure sports bikes in general and, with the right ergonomics, powerplant and innova ve features, for the all-new Super Ténéré in par cular.
CHASSIS AND SUSPENSION: The chassis meets the bike’s high standards even though the Super Ténéré is built around a steel frame instead of an aluminium one as we would expect and although this contributes signifi cantly to the bike’s weight, at least it is sure to withstand severe abuse while off -road riding. This brings me to the suspensions, which are fully-adjustable front and rear
and another important and good choice was that of using spoked rims instead of cast ones from the same reason as in the case of the frame.
COMFORT: Just looking at the rider and passenger seats makes you want to get on and start changing channels. Hello; bike seat not couch seat. Same diff s, it is super comfortable and at no stage did I feel the need to get off because my bu is falling off . The rider seat is also adjustable and can be dropped or raised with a simple “under the seat” manoeuvre.
HANDLING: Si ng or standing, dirt or road, makes no diff erence. During my ride on it I found the bike to be rock solid through corners, downhill or uphill, over bumps no ma er what you throw at it; the feedback was posi ve and without any unexpected twitches on the handlebar.
SPECIFICATIONS: Power 81kW (110hp) @ 7250rpmTorque 114Nm @ 6000rpmBrakes ABSEngine 1199ccDrive Sha Dry Weight 238kgSeat Height 845mmTank 23 LOther ABS, TCSPrice R130 000Service 10 000km @ ± R1200Top Speed More than 220km/h
CONCLUSION: Yamaha gives you the op on of two models; one standard no frills no fuzz and another fi ed standard with a set of aluminium side panniers, a bash plate and a headlight protector. Over and above this Yamaha also off ers plenty of accessorizing possibili es; just ask the guys at Perry Yamaha to see the catalogue. This is the kind of bike that meets the best of both worlds, meaning it can go where the BMW R1200GS goes and yet look almost as street-worthy as the Duca Mul strada or the Triumph Tiger. We can understand why Yamaha expects so much from this model and I bet it won’t disappoint. Just look at it and then ride it.
BOTTOM LINE: If you’re just ge ng into Adventure Touring then this bike is perfect for you, best value for money.

REVIEW: Yamaha XT1200Z Super Tenere
Tel: (031) 566 74117 Te ord Circle, Umhlanga Ridgewww.perryyamaha.co.za
PERFORMANCE: I found the thro le response sa sfying even roll-on at 140km/h in 6th truly ins lled the confi dence in me that if a gap ever presented itself; I could take it. Taking it off -road proved even more fun and I just had to test the TCS and ABS; let me tell you, I have never felt so much control while slamming on both the brakes on dirt in my life. It just came to a solid in-line stop... period.
In the performance department, in all its aspects, I can not fault the Super Ténéré, it really gives you everything you pay for and what you expect from it. I probably only used the p of the “power iceberg”, there is so much more down there that this bike wants to give, it’s just wai ng for the right moment and able rider.

GOD’S HALF PAGE: Time to Think“Will the hassle never end?” One senses that this is more and more a feeling which is becoming a way of life to the majority of us in this country. What has happened? We have let ourselves be swept along in the current of modern society and culture un l we are almost swallowed up. We have been molded into place by machines, schedules, neuro c ac vity, peer pressures and ac vi es of all sorts. Family units seem to be more individual units living under the same roof. Could it be that modern society has gu ed our spiritual house? It is possible! What is to be done?
First of all, it is me to take me to think. We do so li le of that these days. No one needs to think as long as he is swept along in the stream of rou ne, never-ending ac vity. Get out of the stream, on the bank, and think. Stop right now and think:- Think about God’s love and power and how they have aff ected your life.- Think of your family and all the natural gi s and resources He has given you.- Think about the life you are living.- Think about a growing tree, the birds fl ying south at winter, the process of a bee making honey.- Think about a boy learning from his father about the wonders of life and of crea ve work.- Think about a day without any yelling and screaming and hassle.- Think about how your life in your world and family can incorporate the quiet serenity of Jesus Christ.- Think and control your life in harmony with God and not be gobbled up by this present world.
Remember, Jesus said through the Apostle Paul, “Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.” (Romans 12:2)

It’s not hard in this country to lose your hearing. In the 80’s everyone blamed it on the Angola war; today we blame it on cheap helmets, loud pipes and vuvuzelas.
Rule of the thumb is that anything over 80db for more than just a couple of minutes will begin to tear away at your hearing ability. Most riders have already had plenty of this ba ering and many are already 25% deaf or worse just from everyday life on the road. The solu on is simple. No ma er how much hearing you have le , beam yourself over to the nearest Ear Ins tute and invest in a set of custom-made ear plugs.
There is no law against using ear protec on when opera ng a motorcycle; the fact is, once you put your plugs in, you will be able to hear most of the same sounds you would hear if you were driving a car with the windows rolled up. Your visual percep on will be stronger because your senses won’t be processing so much audio informa on. It’s really quite a treat once you get your plugs in and start riding; you will no doubt be able to ride more because you’ll be less red mentally and faster because you will not feel in midated by the wind noise in your helmet.
Oops, did I say faster?
I recently tested my Interphone F4 Headset (took a phone call) while wearing my Moto-Ear plugs and riding at above legal speed; it completely eliminated the high frequency wind noise in my helmet but s ll allowed me to have a normal conversa on with the caller while riding. Furthermore, the faster I was going the more noise I expected but NO! With the Moto-Ear the experience was quite the opposite, the faster I was going the more eff ec vely the ear-plugs worked! Awesome stuff , I couldn’t believe it at fi rst so I had to try it again...
Many people simply cannot stand (or get used to) wearing them, and if improperly inserted will provide very li le noise reduc on benefi t and will hurt in no me at all. Wearing earplugs of any kind, it seems to me, is counter-produc ve at speeds below 60km/h, but if you ride our highways for any distance at all you will CERTAINLY be be er off wearing a set.
Just because your hearing is already a ‘li le’ damaged from wind noise you should not think it can’t get worse. Riding a motorcycle at highway speeds is a GUARANTEED way to damage your hearing - and poten ally profoundly. The majority of our hearing needs involve frequencies below 16 KHz. These sounds are what we use when we talk (and listen.) These also happen to be the frequencies most aff ected by wind noise hearing damage. For perspec ve, a noisy restaurant produces about 80db of noise; hearing loss can begin at 80db. Max safe exposure at 94db is 1 hour, and only 15 minutes to sounds in excess of 110db.
You can get Earplugs really cheap but the ul mate solu on is to get a pair of the Moto-Ear Hearing Protec on sets which is custom-made and moulded to each ear for ul mate comfort and can be tuned at specifi c levels of noise management. That’s truly the way to go but expect to see this as an investment and not as a consumable item like the cheapies you get from pharmacies and bike shops; they served their purpose, me now to move onto something reliable and more eff ec ve.
Use them each me you ride and you’ll be doing yourself a great service; stop me any me, and you’ll fi nd me wearing my Moto-Ear.
Now, if you prefer to ignore this bit of advice, start prac sing saying “HUH” and get used to it.
