@FOXHEADSOUTHAFRICA

EDITOR: ROLEY FOLEY 

A biker dude was sick and tired of going to work every day 

while his wife stayed home. 

He wanted her to see what he went through so he prayed: 

‘Dear Lord: 

I go to work every day and put in 8 hours while my wife 

merely stays at home. I ride to work in the heat the cold, 

rain and hail. 

I want her to know what I go through. 

So, please allow her body to switch with mine for a day. 

God, in his infinite wisdom, granted the man’s wish. 

The next morning, sure enough, the man awoke as 

a woman...he arose, cooked breakfast for his mate, 

awakened the kids, set out their school clothes, fed them 

breakfast, packed their lunches,drove them to school, came 

home and picked up the dry cleaning, took it to the cleaners 

and stopped at the bank to make a deposit, went grocery 

shopping, then drove home to put away the groceries. 

Then it was already 1 PM and he hurried to make the beds, 

do the laundry, vacuum, dust, sweep and mop the kitchen 

floor, ran to the school to pick up the kids and got into an 

argument with them on the way home, set out milk and 

cookies and got the kids to do their homework. 

Then set up the ironing board and watched TV while he did 

the ironing. 

At 4:30 he began peeling potatoes and washing vegetables 

for salad, breaded the pork chops and snapped fresh 

beans for supper. 

After supper, he cleaned the kitchen, ran the dishwasher, 

folded laundry, bathed the kids and put them to bed. 

At 9 PM exhausted and, though his daily chores weren’t 

finished, he went to bed where he was expected to make 

love, which he managed to get through without complaint. 

The next morning, he awoke and immediately knelt by the 

bed and said: “Lord, I don’t know what 

I was thinking. 

I was so wrong to envy my wife’s being able to stay home 

all day! 

Please, Oh! Please, 

let us trade back.. Amen!’ 

The Lord, in his infinite wisdom, replied: 

“My son, I feel you have learned your lesson and I will be 

here to change things back to the way they were. 

But you’ll have to wait nine months, though. 

You got pregnant last night”

RAM GPS & Pho 

The FZ-07’s 698cc parallel-twin engine mated to a 6-speed 


transmission is unlikely to be changed before going to 

RAM GPS & Phone m 

production. With 75 horsepower and 50 lb-ft. of torque, 

the powerplant provides adequate power for long-distance 

highway travel and more than enough pep for off-road duties. 

The lively motor also uses a 270° Crossplane crank that gives 

it a pleasing sound similar to a V-Twin. 

The new Tenere 700 will most likely replace the single-cylinder 

XT660Z Tenere and if naming conventions remain consistent, 

the bike would be given the model name XT700Z Tenere. The 

XT660Z Tenere is expected to be discontinued due to Euro4 

emissions requirements starting in January of 2017. 

Based on the spec sheet of the FZ-07, the new Yamaha 

middleweight would offer 28 more horsepower, a 6-speed 

instead of 5-speed and a smoother twin-cylinder engine. With 

a wet wet of 397 pounds (180 kg), the FZ-07 offers a relatively 

light platform to build and adventure bike around. Even if the 

Tenere 700 gains 35 pounds in adventure trim, it should still 

undercut the XT660Z in weight by some 40 pounds. 

We also expect the new Tenere 700 to be competitively 

priced like other Yamaha models. With a smooth parallel-twin 

engine, touring equipment, lighter weight and reasonable 

price tag, this new Tenere 700 should be serious competition 

in the middleweight adventure bike category. Think of it as 

a lighter and more affordable BMW F800GS with Japanese 

reliability and lower cost of maintenance. Yamaha’s new 

Tenere 700 prototype adds to the growing list of off-road 

focused middleweight adventure bikes appearing on the 

market... EXCITED!

2017 RMX450Z: 

“The new 2017 Suzuki RMX450Z delivers an 

enduro punch for trail riders who want a higher 

level of performance. This new off-road achiever 

shares core componentry with the championshipwinning 

RM-Z450 motocross bike. It begins with 

a 449cc four-stroke, four-valve engine featuring 

Suzuki fuel-injection technology that delivers 

smooth power, trusted reliability and high fuel 

efficiency. For off-road uses, Suzuki engineers 

modified the engine’s intake, added an easyaccess 

hinged airbox, and revised the cam profiles 

for improved low- to mid-range power delivery. The 

package also includes a larger magneto-generator 

for battery charging and headlight power. A wideratio, 

five-speed transmission helps riders power 

through a variety of conditions.”

Bike Tyre Warehouse Opening 

in Midrand, 1st September. 

Tyres for Road, Adventure and Dirt. 

The infamous Bruce de Kock, who is a columnist 

for our magazine on a wide range of tyre related 

subjects and one of the most experienced tyre 

guys (ten years plus BATT Tyre fame), is the man 

behind this lot. A multifranchise and one-stop 

motorcycle, ATV and SXS tyre and fitment centre 

in Midrand. 

A very interesting guy, Bruce comes from a road 

and dirt racing back ground with regional colours 

for quad motocross and is now a retired member 

of the Insane Few - a well-known quad Freestyle 

motocross outfit in SA. He has loads of experience 

in dirt tyre set up for circuit and off-road both on 

two and four wheels. 

He has consulted to international tyre brands and 

was involved in the design and production of an 

adventure tyre range for an international brand. He 

has developed specialized run flat tyre technology 

for military applications. Bruce holds the notable 

distinction of designing and developing ATV race 

tyres for more than one international team at Dakar. 

He gives back too - Bruce has sponsored and 

coached numerous youngsters as well as pro 

riders in MX and off road and has contributed to 

Motorsport in SA for a good long while. 

So , in his own words, “You 

are not just walking into 

a bike tyre retailer, but

of knowledge and 

experience in the market

FIRST LOOK 

“Both of these models are highperformance 

machines that 

represent the epitome of dirt bike 

engineering. Over the years, each of 

the milestone CRF450R models has 

been eagerly anticipated, and the 

2017 version is the best yet.” 

20 DIRT & TRAIL MAGAZINE SEPTEMBER 2016

2017 HONDA OFFROADS REVEALED 

DOUBLE 

TROUBLE 

CRF450 RX & CRF450 R 

CRF450 RX & CRF450 R 

On the 15th anniversary of Honda’s 

original 450cc class four-stroke 

motocross model, Honda has 

announced what they are calling a 

revolutionary CRF450R that promises to be 

the most powerful, best-handling Honda 

motocross machine ever. Honda’s nocompromises 

approach to designing and 

developing the new bike was intended to 

put it at the front of the pack in all areas of 

performance, resulting in what Honda is 

calling the “Absolute Holeshot.” 

Since its 2002 introduction, the 

CRF450R has earned an enviable 

racing pedigree, and they say that 

the 2017 edition is the best yet, 

with superior technology and 

style. Riders know that the most 

important part of any motocross 

race is the start, and the new 

CRF450R Unicam engine has 

been developed to achieve 

overwhelming performance 

in the first 100 feet of battle, 

offering increased power 

output but also allowing greatd 

traction. And while arriving 

to turn one first is significant, 

winning requires staying in front 

for the entire moto, which is 

why Honda engineers designed 

an all-new chassis with reduced 

weight and centralized mass. The 

result is a machine that they say is at 

once fast, reliable and forgiving, and 

that allows riders to more easily extract 

maximum performance, consistently 

turning low lap times while simultaneously 

taxing their bodies less. 

In addition, Honda is, at long last offering 

a brand-new model, the CRF450RX, which 

is based on the 2017 CRF450R but with a 

number of differences that make it perfect 

for riding and racing off-road... Like its 

motocross-focused sibling, they tell us that the 

CRF450RX is designed for maximum agility 

and performance, offering owners superior 

power along with effortless handling—the ideal 

woods-racing combination. 

Honda also took the opportunity to 

announce the remainder of its 2017 model-year 

CRF competition dirt bike model line, including 

the CRF250R and CRF150R motocross 

bikes and CRF450X and CRF250X off-road 

motorcycles. 

“We’re very proud to introduce the milestone 

2017 edition of Honda’s legendary CRF450R, 

as well as the brand-new CRF450RX,” 

said Lee Edmunds, Manager of Motorcycle 

Marketing Communications at American 

Honda. “Both of these models are highperformance 

machines that represent the 

epitome of dirt bike engineering. Over the 

years, each of the milestone CRF450R models 

has been eagerly anticipated, and the 2017 

version is the best yet.” 

The techy stuff on the two new 450’s: 

CRF450R. They say: 

“Everything about the new-from-the-groundup 

2017 CRF450R is designed for the 

absolute holeshot. A new Unicam engine 

offers increased power and torque across 

the rev range, thanks in part to an ultra-direct 

downdraft air intake, steeper valve angle and 

twin exhaust system with smoother routing. 

The chassis boasts new geometry and 

packaging that results in a more concentrated, 

DIRT & TRAIL MAGAZINE SEPTEMBER 2016 21

lower centre of mass, helping to get the 

power to the ground, maximize stability and 

improve cornering performance. The lighter 

aluminum frame has a narrower crosssection 

and a lighter, extruded aluminum rear 

sub frame. The motorcycle is equipped with a 

coil-spring 49mm Showa fork, while the rear 

suspension comprises a lighter swing arm 

assembly and a shock with a lower mounting 

position. Dunlop Geomax MX3S tires come 

standard, and the CRF450R is the first massproduced 

motocross bike ever to come with 

a titanium fuel tank. Electric start is available 

as an option.” 

PERFORMANCE 

Downdraft Fuel Injection 

Part of an entire engine overhaul for 2017, 

the new downdraft intake tract and FI body 

help and increase both power and fuelmetering 

precision. It’s part of the reason the 

CRF450R offers such explosive power and 

massive torque, especially out of the starting 

gate and in the critical first 100 feet of the 

race to the first turn. 

New Cylinder Head Layout 

This year the new 2017 CRF450R uses a new 

“in-finger” rocker design. The Unicam cylinder 

head remains the most efficient in the MX 

world, giving you the design and performance 

of a double-overhead-cam layout but the 

compactness of a single-overhead-cam design. 

Higher, 13.5:1 Compression Ratio 

A new combustion-chamber design with 

a revising squish area helps boost the 

CRF450R’s compression to new heights 

this year, an impressive 13.5:1. That means 

improved combustion efficiency for more 

power. 

New “In Molded” Graphics 

With the all the time you’ll be spending in 

victory circle, you need to look your best. 

The new CRF450R has you covered. New 

“in molded” graphics look great, and stay 

looking good longer. 

Skid Plate 

A factory skid plate is light and offers the 

engine and lower-frame protection that a 

racer demands.

New Showa® Spring Fork: An allnew 

49mm Showa® fork features 

a conventional spring design that 

helps increase the CRF450R’s 

front-suspension precision, 

handling and feel. 

Next-Generation Aluminum Frame 

New for 2017, Honda’s Next-Gen 

twin spar aluminum frame positions 

the new rear shock’s mounting point 

lower, opening up the air box area 

and contributing to a lower centre 

of gravity for more holeshots. The 

frame geometry also helps improve 

traction, feeling and steering 

precision. 

Updated Twin-pipe Exhaust 

System 

The CRF450R’s dual exhaust 

system is even more compact for 

2017 and positioned closer and 

lower in the frame’s center to take 

weight off the rear end and bring 

more mass to the bike’s center for 

improved handling. It also allows for 

more air flow, and that equals added 

horsepower.

Titanium Fuel Tank 

Grams and performance count, 

and the 2017 CRF450R makes a 

big switch to a titanium fuel tank 

this year. Light and strong, it’s also 

thinner than our previous plastic 

unit, while maintaining the same 

capacity, freeing up more space and 

helping to centralize fuel mass. 

Engine Mode Select Button 

This new simple handlebar-mounted 

button lets you dial in engine power 

delivery character with a push 

of your thumb. Choose between 

Standard, Smooth and Aggressive, 

depending on track conditions. 

New Scavenge Pump 

Deep in the engine, there’s a new oil 

scavenge pump. You may never see 

it, but it helps keep the CRF450R’s 

overall design compact. 

COMFORT 

Flatter Seat/Tank Junction 

The new 2017 CRF450R features 

a new, flatter seat/tank junction, 

including a new titanium fuel tank. 

The improved ergonomics make it 

easier to move forward and back on 

the bike, increasing your control. 

260mm Front Brake 

The CRF450R’s large front-brake 

disc measures a whopping 260mm. 

You get great brake feel and a wave 

pattern that cuts down on weight. 

Front and rear brake-disc guards are 

part of the package too.

CRF450RX 

They say: “As a brand-new model, Honda’s CRF450RX 

boasts most of the features of its motocross-directed sibling, 

but in a package that’s designed for closed-course offroad 

riding and racing. Among the features that distinguish 

it from the CRF450R are a smoother ignition map and 

standard electric start (with kick-start backup), while chassis 

differences include off-road-focused suspension settings, a 

revised cylinder-head hanger and changed wheel hubs and 

axles. The CRF450RX also comes with off-road-appropriate 

components like a larger plastic fuel tank, forged-aluminum 

side stand, 18 inch rear rim and Dunlop Geomax AT81 tyres.” 

Large Fuel Tank 

The CRF450RX’s 8.3 litre fuel tank will give you that much 

more mileage. 

Electric and Kick Start 

The new 2017 CRF450RX comes with both a kick- and 

electric-starting system as standard 

equipment. Having both options will 

ensure faster starts. 

Engine Mode Select Button 

This simple, handlebar-mounted button lets you dial in engine 

power delivery character with a push of your thumb. Choose 

between Standard, Smooth, and Aggressive, depending on 

course conditions. 

Scavenge Pump: 

Deep in the engine, there’s a new oil scavenge pump. 

You may never see it, but it helps keep the 

CRF450RX’s overall design compact. 

New Dual-pipe Exhaust System 

The CRF450RX’s dual exhaust 

system is compact and positioned 

closer and lower in the frame’s 

centre to take weight off the rear 

end and bring more mass to the 

bike’s centre for superior handling. 

Skid Plate 

A factory skid plate is light and offers 

the engine and lower-frame protection 

that a motocross racer demands. The 

smooth contours help keep you from 

getting hung up on logs and rocks, 

too. 

Kickstand 

It seems like a small detail, but offroad 

bikes can sometimes need a 

kickstand. Which is exactly why you’ll 

find this light, compact unit added 

right from the factory. 


New Aluminum Frame 

The twin spar aluminum frame positions the rear 

shock’s mounting point low, opening up the 

air box area and contributing to a lower 

centre of gravity. The frame geometry 

also helps give you more traction. 

New Flywheel 

Off-road riders want smooth power delivery 

that gives the engine’s revving character, better 

matching it for tougher terrain. That’s why the new 

CRF450RX gets a special flywheel tuned for offroad 

use. 

Cylinder Head Layout 

The 2017 CRF450RX uses a new “in-finger” rocker 

design. The efficient Unicam cylinder head gives 

you the design and performance of a doubleoverhead-cam 

layout but the compactness of a 

single-overhead-cam design. 

Off-Road Suspension with Spring Fork 

Designed specifically for the demands of off-road 

riding, the CRF450RX’s new Showa Spring Fork 

and suspension components are fully adjustable 

and chosen to give you the ultimate tunability and 

performance in the field for changing conditions. 

CRF250R 

The bike that Malcolm Stewart took to the 2016 AMA Supercross 

250SX East Region title returns for 2017 with a 49mm track-tuned 

Showa SFF-Air TAC fork and Showa shock, both of which offer a wide 

spectrum of adjustment and are designed to work at the highest level. 

With a race-proven chassis and Honda’s exclusive twin-muffler design, 

which efficiently centers the mass, the CRF250R is renowned for its 

deft handling. The high-compression 249cc Unicam engine provides an 

impressive spread of horsepower throughout the entire rpm range, and 

the bike comes with an engine-mode-select button that allows for three 

different power maps: Standard, Smooth and Aggressive. Custom maps 

can also be created with the available HRC tuning tool. 

CRF150R/CRF150RB 

The only four-stroke machine in the competition mini motocross 

category, the CRF150R is what a young racer needs to achieve 

the next level. Currently campaigned in the amateur nationals 

by Amsoil Honda’s Carson Mumford, the CRF150R features 

a powerful-but-compact Unicam engine (based on those 

of the CRF250R and CRF450R) and race-tuned, fully 

adjustable Showa suspension, packaged in a trackdesigned 

chassis, all resulting in the highest level of 

performance. This model is available in a standard 

version and the CRF150RB, which accommodates 

bigger riders with its larger wheels, higher seat and 

longer swingarm. 

CRF450X 

The off-road-focused X-model maintains Honda’s proven 

strength and durability. Since its release, the CRF450X 

has had much success with a long list of competition 

successes internationally. The compact 449cc liquidcooled 

four-stroke Unicam engine provides a smooth 

power delivery and plenty of low-end torque. Plush, 

works-style Showa suspension, a trail-tuned chassis and 

superior ergonomics enable impressive handling and feel in 

a variety of off-road terrain. The model also features the Honda 

Progressive Steering Damper, which aids cornering and helps to 

reduce arm fatigue, while the electric start helps ensure trouble-free 

starting in almost any condition. 

HANDLING 

An 18-inch rear wheel is another indication of the 

CRF450RX’s off-road heritage. 

260mm Front Brake 

The CRF450RX’s large front-brake disc measures 

a whopping 260mm. You get great brake feel and a 

wave pattern that cuts down on weight. Front and 

rear brake-disc guards are part of the package, and 

are sure to be popular with off-road riders. 

CRF250X 

Like the CRF450X, Honda’s CRF250X has close ties to the competition 

R models and carries the same reputation for performance. The 

lightweight and compact 249cc liquid-cooled, four-stroke Unicam 

engine, wide-ratio five-speed transmission and push-button electric 

start are set up specifically for off-road riding. Plush, predictable 

handling from the trail-tuned Showa suspension allows the bike to 

tackle off-road terrain with ease. A hit with the off-road crowd, the 

CRF250X also features a headlight, taillight, trip meter and 18 inch rear 

wheel to further enhance the off-road experience. 

No news on costing or date of arrival, but pop down to your local 

dealer for the skinny on the new models…

LOCAL LAUNCH 


ORANGE 

HAZE 

THE 2017 KTM ENDURO LINEUP 

Dirt And Trail Magazine was the first to bring 

you all of the news and info on the 2017 KTM 

Enduro lineup. In our July issue, We told you 

about all the differences in the range. Late last 

month we were invited to the South African 

launch of the machines in KZN. This is quite a 

long story. Mostly because it has been a long 

time since any manufacturer has delivered so 

many new models all in one shot. 

What a great idea to host the launch in Alfie 

Cox’s back yard. This multiple champ and all 

round Mr nice guy, was tasked with the chore 

(is it a chore?), of putting together a launch ride 

that would display exactly what these bikes were 

built for. Now if you, like, had visions of Roof Of 

Africa type terrain, rest assured that this was not 

the case. We were treated to a very cool trail ride 

through the mountains. 

We gathered at OR Tambo international airport 

on a rather chilly Highveld winters’ day to take an 

orange (get it?) plane for the short hop and skip 

to the Ushaka landing zone just outside Ballito. 

Flying down, we were treated to cornflower blue 

skies and a vista of snowy mountains as we flew 

along the Drakensberg mountains. South Africa 

sure is pretty. A quick transfer saw us deposited 


Alfie Cox, Franziska Brandl and Riaan 

Neveling, our hosts for the launch... 

The Brother KTM racers were on 

hand to give us some pointers... 

The very friendly Stephan Marais, 

KTM’s technical guru. 

at the very salubrious Makaranga Garden 

Lodge in Kloof, where we met for a Q&A 

session on the bikes. 

Lurking in the lobby was a 300exc with all 

the power parts you can think of attached 

and in the conference room we were greeted 

with a Six Days 350 four stroke as well as a 

300EXC two stroke model. Now we know 

how much you KTM Afficionado’s love your 

bolt-on goodies and we have to comment that 

KTM is one of the very few brands that pay 

proper attention to marketing their extras. And 

- in our opinion, it pays dividends. 

Riaan Neveling is the new - ish marketing 

man at KTM and he gave a very informative 

presentation on the new bikes. What we 

found interesting and entertaining was the 

fact that he involved the audience, asking 

relevant questions to gauge an understanding 

of how knowledgeable the press actually 

are. Questions like the difference between 

torque and horsepower, what is the meaning 

of ergonomics, Centre of gravity, Open and 

closed cartridge forks... and quite a few of the 

guys on hand came away knowing a bit more 

than when they arrived… 

We are not going to go in to great detail on 

each bike - for that, re-read our July issue, 

or you can go online for our electronic copy. 

Nevertheless we are still pretty astonished at 

KTM’S claims for the new bikes. 

Stress was placed on the fact that these are 

not updated 2016’s. These are entirely new 

models, with emphasis placed on less weight, 

smoother power and better handling across 

the board. 

That’s a pretty tall order, when you consider 

just how successful KTM is in the dirt-bike 

market across the globe. 

We love innovation. KTM has used new 

alloys to remanufacture frames. They have 

redesigned small items like the pots on the 

brakes and the brake levers themselves to 

make them lighter and, they say, better. On 

the carburetted models KTM has changed 

supplier to Mikuni, a company that wants to 

continue with two-stroke development - and 

they say that the new carburettors are easier 

to adjust and work on. They tell us that the 

flat-slide design of the Mikuni unit allows the 

power to be delivered far smoother and in 

a more controllable way (but we are talking 

about a two-stroke, that is half the fun). By 

changing the batteries to lithium ion dry cell 

units, they saved more weight… and so the 

list goes on. The end results are astonishing 

savings in weight – and they have included 

more practical innovations. Here’s something 

we like a lot – the bikes shrouds have 

been reinforced, made from a hard plastic 

compound to act as radiator protectors – the 

aftermarket guys might not like that, but for a 

stock bike, we reckon that this innovation will 

be copied by other manufacturers. Did you

What’s left of the Hammarsdale track... 

know that KTM now makes a plug-in traction 

control module for their bikes? Now you do 

and they fitted it to the new 350 for us to try 

out. It’s an optional engine map switch for 

MY17, which gives the rider a total of four 

different maps and use of KTM’s intriguing 

new traction control system. 

For 2017, KTM has refined the plastics 

and the overall look of the bike, most notable 

for 2017 is the orange surround on the light 

fitting, and the light can now be removed 

from the bike without the use of tools. KTM 

has also added rigidity to the front guard to 

help with mud and dirt build up and have also 

revised the rear fender with an integrated grab 

handle. The handle will help prevent grabbing 

a handful of dirt when your trying to move the 

back of the bike around logs and rocks on 

technical trails. The seat has been reshaped 

slightly to improve comfort and provide a 

flatter area to move back and forwards on 

the bike, the seat has also had up to 10mm 

shaved off in some areas. 

Once you’re sitting on the bike you will wrap 

your hands around some new ODI lock-on 

grips and place your feet on some new ‘No 

Dirt’ footpegs and a similar shifter. Both aren’t 

really improving performance, rather smarter 

options included to make your overall ride 

hassle-free. 

We don’t really enjoy messing around with 

glue and grip wire, so these ODI grips make 

it really easy when swapping out grips. The 

footpegs have been redesigned by KTM to 

prevent dirt building up, it’s not every ride that 

you are going to think about this, but if you’re 

in the middle of some difficult snotty trails, 

its one less thing you have to worry about 

slowing your ride down. 

The fuel tank is again white/opaque giving 

you no excuses for not knowing how much 

fuel you have left. This might make the excuse 

you give to the missus of running out of fuel 

on the trail a little null and void as well. The 

tank is one litre larger on the two-stroke 

EXC than the four-stroke with a new fuel line 

connector, which will help prevent any tree 

branches snagging on your fuel line. 

KTM has also redesigned the airbox with a 

smarter multi directional air filter cage, making 

it harder to mount the cage incorrectly and 

preventing dirt being sucked into the carb 

from the filter being installed incorrectly. 

At long last, KTM has placed the idle 

adjuster on the carburettor models in a 

sensible position above the throttle, rather 

than buried on the carb under the fuel tank. 

Of note, the MY17 range features the all-new 

WP XPlor 48 upside-down fork with 300mm 

of travel. It’s a split fork developed by WP 

in close collaboration with KTM, featuring 

springs on both sides and the damping action 

is split between the fork legs – compression 

is on the left side and rebound is on the right. 


Something we have always enjoyed on the KTMs over the 

years has been the Brembo brakes and hydraulic clutch. 

But the bad news is that if you are planning to buy a ‘17, 

we’re afraid that none of your old spare parts are going to fit... 

Riding the bikes, we do understand why it’s all been 

done - and please bear in mind that a company like KTM 

does not wake up in the morning and simply change stuff - 

innovations are tested on race tracks, with input from some 

of the best riders in the world over a long time before they 

make their way onto production motorcycles. 

Most of the rather talented KTM Race team was on hand 

to help out - and we got chatting to the guys who raced 

Romaniacs on the new bikes. They were quite candid in 

telling us that the ‘17’s made the 16’s feel a bit dated... quite 

a statement. We were all really looking forward to riding the 

bikes the next day. 

On ride day, we joined young Kirsten Landman for the 

transfer to the Highstakes track in Cato Ridge. Highstakes is 

pretty cool – carved into the local hills they have a great MX 

track complete with a clubhouse, 4x4 trail and some really 

lekker little gnarly hills and things where you can practice your 

rock clambering skills. Best of all – a Guy like Alfie knows the 

trails in every direction… and that’s exactly what we did. 

We arrived to a sea of dark orange – with all of the 2017’s 

neatly lined up and ready to race… 

A quick briefing - and weapons were selected. We loved 

the fact that it was all lekker relaxed and informal. The fast 

Jans were free to tear off at a rate and the more sedate 

crowd got to watch them and enjoy the fun. An hour was 

spent at the track just getting loose and warmed up and then 

we headed out into the valleys. 

A five odd hour ride saw us take in a bit of – well 

everything on these great bikes. Steep hills and valleys were 

negotiated, thick bush single spoor, fast-ish gravel sections 

– the only thing really missing were Roof type rocks and 

step ups. We popped past the old Springfield MX track – I 

remember Gary Nilsen sending us stories from that track 

years ago. It’s still there, but the facilities are all broken down 

– and now its just a great practice track. 

Everywhere we stopped the bench racing tales got faster, 

bikes were discussed in minute detail and we all chopped 

and changed as we went along. To try and remember the 

order would be virtually impossible, but each bike was ridden 

and assessed by most of the riders. Then it was time for the 

highlight of the day – a stop-off at a mighty sand quarry in 

the middle of nowhere. This was heaven on a plate – man – 

steep climbs, loose ruts, big jumps and drop-offs and a good 

hour was spent tearing around and basically goon riding. 

Awesome fun. 

Watching the top boys and gals messing around was really 

cool – we have a lot of talented riders out there. 

All good things have to come to an end and out travels 

took us back to the track via a mighty hill which was – 

awesome… and then down the valley for a late lunch. After 

that – we were let loose to enjoy a couple of extra hours just 

trying the bikes out. 

KTM had three major development targets: Weight 

reduction and centralisation of mass for better rideability, an 

improved performance and power delivery, plus a new stateof-the-art 

appearance. Tick the boxes for all three. They 

succeeded. 

So here are our initial impressions on the bikes – and we’ll 

start with the li’l 125 and our our way up… 


2-strokes: 

125: 

To be absolutely fair – our large editor 

ended up on the 125 kinda by accident. 

On a really nasty rutted sections one of 

the other blokes was battling to kick all 

the time – so he was traded with the very 

easy to ride 250 four stroke and our man 

took off in a puff of smoke. And guys and 

gals – what a jol he had! Sure this little 

bike is built for (far) smaller riders – but 

the power delivery, suspension and – well 

just about everything about this little 

dynamo is FUN!!! The 125 is really quick, 

right through the gears, really light and 

nimble and just so much fun to chuck 

around. Steep hills were a challenge – 

they needed lots of fast run-ups to lug 

100 and odd kilogrammes around, but 

the clutch handled it all with aplomb. 

What a cool little bike – it kinda makes us 

wish that we were teenagers again. 

Kyle Says: I have never found the 

smaller 2 Strokes enjoyable. However this 

little machine surprised me. Twist the grip 

a puff of smoke comes out the exhaust 

and boom off you go on this little pocket 

rocket. Being a 125 you do tend to push 

her a bit harder, but having said that, if 

you do have a softer approach there is no 

doubt she will not let you down. Smooth, 

Crisp and an absolute 

joll. Ride her like a Mx 

bike and away you go. 

150: 

We thought it a shame that Katoom 

opted to discontinue their 200 and maybe 

it is – but when we asked the question, 

they told us that SA is virtually the only 

place where the 200 sells solidly. So enter 

the new 150. It’s a full sized bike with a 

strong li’l 2- stroke engine. We spent a 

short time in the saddle – and will do a 

longer review in some really techy terrain 

soon – but initial impressions are that this 

bike will be a winner. The one we rode 

on the day felt a bit boggy down low – 

quite possibly this can be solved with 

a bit of jetting, but once the bike builds 

momentum and starts making power 

it was awesome fun to ride. Not motocrossy 

at all, steady torque and very 

controllable. Without causing insult to 

smaller riders – we reckon that this bike 

will be a fantastic entry level machine for 

young riders and ladies alike 

Kyle Says: This little machine had 

some big shoes to fill. And it has done 

exactly that. After a bit of fine tunning, 

Alfie and Stephan got this bike running 

like a beaut. Having read a few articles 

from the States about this bike I was 

really excited to give her a go. 

Point and shoot. You don’t need a 

rifle, a kattie will do. What surprised us 

most was the power delievery this bike 

has. Not as snappy as the 125, but more 

refined and easier to ride. Would there be 

one in my garage… YES 

250 2-stroke: 

The 250 two-stroke is more of the same 

and with ever greater power advances 

from KTM’s engine developers it has 

become the weapon of choice for many 

top enduro riders due to its great spread 

of power, manageability and light weight. 

Riding around the six-mile loop in the 

Spanish mountains there was simply 

nothing faster when the going got 

technical and fast changes of direction 

were needed. 

There is something about the sound of 

a two-stroke, no matter where you are, 

motocross track or bush single track. 

It always draws attention, regardless of 

how old you are, whenever you make a 

motorbike noise it’s always a two-stroke 

and movies usually ‘dub’ the two-stroke 

bike sound over a four-stroke. Putting 

the power to the rear wheel, KTM has 

incorporated a six-speed transmission 

with the same ratios as its predecessor. 

Why mess with something that was spot 

on in the first place? The 2017 250 EXC is 

either kicked into life with the conventional 

kick-starter or via the happy button. 

If you’re a fan of two-strokes then we 

don’t have to convince you that much, 

but the MY17 KTM 250 EXC will make 

your weekend. The ability to work on 

a bike that is a little less intimidating 

compared to a four-stroke is appealing 

to many. The overall weight is down by 

2.1kgs, the bike feels light, really light – it 

begs the question, where will they be

able to reduce weight from in the future? 

We are sure they will find ways. 

The power of the 250 EXC is probably 

the most exciting part of the bike as 

with any 250cc two-stroke, but the way 

the power is delivered with the 2017 

makes riding the bike that much easier, 

smoother and much more usable. The 

biggest improvement is the absolute 

lack of vibration of the new two-stroke 

engine due to the counter-balance shaft 

being introduced. This helps with having 

positive feeling in the bike, and for us, 

how quick I got pins and needles over a 

longer ride. 

The suspension is plush over the small 

sharper bumps while remaining forgiving 

and stable over the larger hits on the 

rocky terrain. The ease of changing the 

clickers for compression and rebound 

on the trail on the fly is great. The overall 

feel of the bike is comfortable and the 

components that KTM have worked 

on to make the bike less prone to any 

problems on the trail make the bike that 

much more enjoyable to ride. A great bike 

and we are pretty sure that many riders 

will move from the bigger 300 down to 

something a bit more manageable. 

Kyle Says: This is the bike that 

stole the show for me. The power was 

incredible. At first I asked my self if I 

was on the 300. Way more refined than 

last years model and more lively and 

enjoyable. 

300 2-stroke: 

KTM have been building strokers that 

defy pre-conceived logic for years and 

this year’s model takes another step 

and comes complete with an optional 

handlebar mounted switchable map, 

which softens the power delivery further, 

making it supremely capable when the 

going gets technical. 

KTM’s flagship is the 300 EXC. This 

single-cylinder 293.2cc two-stroke’s 

low-down torque and usability blows you 

away. Long gone are the peaky power 

characteristics associated with twostrokes 

of old. 

New 48mm WP forks provide 300mm 

of travel and at the rear KTM continue to 

run with the linkless PDS rear suspension 

set-up – a system favoured by extreme 

enduro riders as there is no linkage that 

could potentially get caught on obstacles 

hanging down lower than the swingarm. 

If you have never owned or ridden a 

KTM 300 EXC, then you probably don’t 

know what you’re missing out on. Within 

minutes of throwing your leg over it, you 

wonder how you ever got by without it in 

your life. It is easy to see why this KTM 

is one of the most popular off-road bikes 

on the market. Lightweight, great 

handling, a motor that is either happy 

to be lugged around using its bucket 

loads of torque or revved out on the 

fast, flowing trails. 

It is really clear why the 300 EXC is 

so popular amongst off-road riders – 

the bike really performs well on both 

tight and open trails. After riding 

it for the first time, you can really 

notice the lack of vibration. 

The 300 EXC has plenty of torque 

down low and more than enough 

top-end for anyone. We had loads 

of fun lugging around in third gear 

on the trails and the bike really gets 

up and moves on longer straights. 

The big-bore two-stroke doesn’t 

disappoint, because the more you 

rev it, the more you smile. Like 

the rest of the EXC range, the 

300 is down on weight compared 

to the previous years’ model by 

2.1 kilograms, which no doubt 

improves the handling. Like the 

250, probably the most notable 

change is the lack of vibration, 

again due to the addition of the 

new counter-balance shaft. The 

general feel of the 300 EXC is 

really natural and the components that 

KTM has worked on to improve your 

riding experience. It’s an extremely clever 

package that will no doubt go a long 

way toward keeping KTM toward the 

top of enduro sales charts in all kinds 

of categories. They’re that good and 

continue to get better with each model 

update… 

Kyle Says: What more can one say? 

We know why KTM sells so many. Ktm 

has done their homework and the general 

question we tend to ask is, “How does 

one perfect perfection?” Give it to a 30 

year old scientist, tell him you want a 

lighter and faster bike, and wait. Wait we 

did and the wait is over. 

Across all the models the main feature 

that stands out is by far the suspension. 

It is amazing. Whether you are on rocks, 

a single track, dirt road our even on a 

ride with Mad Man Alfie Cox the KTMs 

are on rails. 

The power is crisp and smooth, when 

you open her up full taps she screams 

and everyone behind you eats your 

roost,(at least I felt fast until Louw and 

the boys came past on the back wheel 

#lifegoals), put her in 2nd gear pick a 

rock and pretend to be Jonny Walker. 

This bike speaks for itself, It already has 

a great reputation and it’s only about to 

get bigger. 


4-strokes: 

250: 

The 2017 KTM 250 EXC-F has shed 

in total 2.5kgs, the chassis has been 

made stiffer and the power output has 

increased. Mission complete. 

Jumping on the bike for the first 

time everything feels in its place and 

comfortable, as with the previous 

models. 

The engine is fed by a white/opaque 

8.5-litre fuel tank. The tank is also fitted 

with a fuel level sensor. 

Firing up the engine is an electric 

starter… 

The bike feels really feels light and 

easy to push around the tight trails, 

while having plenty of usable power 

from the bottom up. The motor is 

responsive and strong, which makes 

it really easy to ride as a result. 

Suspension-wise it has great feeling 

front and back. More specifically, 

the feeling of the forks are plush and 

give you enough confidence to push 

the bike fast. The suspension really 

absorbs the harsh, rocky surfaces well 

and took the bigger hits without hassle. 

The 250 EXC-F is a great bike for any 

level of rider – weekend trail warrior 

to race-winning professional – and 

it’s clear that it is more than capable 

of competing in and winning enduro 

championships around the world. Part 

of the reason the 250 EXC-F is so easy 

to ride is the great throttle response 

off the bottom and right through the 

rev-range, thanks to the advanced fuel 

injection system. It uses an all-new 

state of the art Keihin engine 

management system with a 

42mm throttle body, allowing 

the injectors to be placed 

differently, resulting in a more 

responsive and snappier power delivery. 

Upon checking out the exhaust of 

the 2017 KTMs you will notice the 

silencers have been made slightly 

shorter and the header pipes have 

been moved down to sit closer to the 

engine, to help keep the weight more 

centralised to the bike. 

The 250 EXC-F is without doubt the 

easiest bike in the entire range to ride. 

It may ‘only’ be a 250 but it has an 

incredible spread of power and loves to 

be revved. Every horsepower it has is 

usable and accessible meaning it’s truly 

a bike for any occasion. 

Kyle Says: Tight twisty and generally 

all round fun. I did not spend much time 

in the saddle but, when I was in the 

saddle, smiles all round. People tend to 

forget that’s why we ride bikes. Good 

fun. Smooth power and she wakes up 

after a hard roll on the throttle. 

350: 

When KTM introduced the 350cc 

concept way back in 2010, it took the 

motocross market by storm before 

becoming a hugely popular enduro bike 

a year later. The 2017 model delivers 

more of the same thanks to its redesign 

and in particular its lightweight handling 

and brilliant chassis characteristics. 

Power is abundant and it only weighs 

in one kilo more than its smaller 250 

EXC-F sibling, meaning it genuinely has 

a bit less power than a 450 with the 

handling of a 250. 

Mixed feelings surround the 350cc 

four-stroke when it comes to the 

motocross side of the sport, but when 

it comes to off-road, it’s the money. 

The 350 feels light like a 250, easy 

to throw around in tight single trail, 

yet doesn’t have the tiring power and 

weight of a 450 that wants to displace 

your arms from the rest of your torso. 

The 2017 KTM 350 EXC-F shares the 

similar design to the 250 EXC-F engine, 

yet has vastly more power. The DOHC 

engine itself is 1.9kgs lighter than 

the previous year’s powerplant. The 

throttle response is great right off the 

bottom giving you the power you need 

with the flick of the wrist. 

The KTM 350 EXC-F is one of the 

most enjoyable bikes you will ever ride. 

We had smiles from ear to ear after 

spending time on this bike. The weight 

of it allows you to push the bike around 

where you want and has more than 

enough power and torque to power 

out of corners with little input from the 

clutch, like you would need to at times 

on a 250. 

That’s not to say that you wish the 

bike had more power. Far from it. You 

just feel you’re a little bit more in control 

than you would when you open up on 

a 450 and you can get away with being 

a little lazy on the throttle where you 

couldn’t on the smaller 250. 

And you save energy on the midcapacity 

four-stroke as well. For those 

keen on riding for the long haul over 

the course of a couple of days or more, 

you’ll be forever thankful with the 

350cc characteristics. The ergos are 

comfy – compact but still plenty roomy 

– maintenance simplified and reliability 

improves year on year. The 350 EXC-F 

was probably the pick of the bunch for 

many of the riders. The weight of the bike 

and its punchy power really made for an 

incredibly fun bike to ride. The addition of 

the optional traction control showed its 

strengths on slippery, dusty rock surfaces 

and on longer fast stints behind the bars, 

making it easier to ride for longer. 


KTM’s design targets and 

achievements are magnified through 

the 350 four-stroke, because its power 

and weight combined with the newgeneration 

technology is genuinely a 

great match. You’d be hard-pressed to 

fault it in all kinds of conditions. 

Kyle Says: The specific 350 I rode, 

had it out for me. Having ridden a lot of 

350’s we know why they are the most 

popular KTM’s around the world. It does 

everything. If you want to go fast you roll 

on, if you want to climb rocks you put 

her in 1st gear and roll on. With this bike 

having lost 3.2kg’s I can see it make its 

way in to one of the most popular in SA. 

I found it to be the easiest ride by far, 

UNTIL she decided nope not having it, 

get off. Does that change my mind about 

the bike? Not at all… 

This is the bike for a person with a midlife 

crisis. You don’t know whether you 

want to ride fast or ride rocks. Well this 

bike does it all. Like Albany says – It’s the 

best of both worlds. 

450: 

Four-fifty enduros have a well-deserved 

reputation for being brutish bikes, and the 

2017 offering from KTM is no exception. 

While I’d love to be able to say it was 

the best bike for me, in the real world of 

enduro riding I found its almost limitless 

capabilities too much. Those ingredients 

of less weight and more power feel 

particularly noticeable, as does the grip 

it generates which makes it a formidable, 

and somewhat intimidating prospect. 

The overall feel of the cockpit is really 

natural, the bike is fitted with Pro Taper 

bars, which can be adjusted in the triple 

clamps in four different positions. 

The KTM 450 EXC-F engine is a 

powerhouse, it’s more compact, lighter 

and has even more power than 2016! 

What is not to like about the new engine? 

The single overhead cam engine has 

enough power for any rider and can be 

tamed down with the mapping/traction 

control switch. 

In short the KTM 450 EXC-F is a 

weapon! It has power to burn and 

handling to match. Right from the time 

we got on the 450, it didn’t feel like 

the bigger ship that we are used to on 

any of the big-bore bikes I had ridden 

previously. 

The 2017 edition feels light and 

manoeuvrable in the tight singletrack, 

while having as much power as we could 

handle on the open trails. 

The bike feels like you can move it 

around when and where you want, it’s 

not like you’re pushing a light two-stroke 

around, but its definitely different from 

what a 450 felt like five years ago. The 

suspension is really plush and forgiving, 

there weren’t many really big hits that we 

encountered, however the bike floats well 

across rough small rocky sections and 

was really predicable. 

The 2017 KTM 450 EXC-F is an 

excellent package, it’s easy to see why 

they will do so well in the enduro and 

off-road championships globally, while 

also appealing to non-competitive riders 

as well. 

500: 

63bhp and monster torque 

On paper the 500 appears a fearsome 

proposition. A huge 63bhp and monster 

torque should mean this is only a 

machine for the hardened pro. While 

the level of power available is verging 

on insane for an off-road bike that 

weighs 106.5kg, its delivery is smooth, 

predictable and manageable. When 

the going gets tough or you run out of 

energy you can simply sit down and let 

the bike do the work and drag you up the 

hills. It’s easier to ride than the 450 and 

would make a great trail bike whilst being 

seriously potent competition bike in the 

right hands. 

The 2017 KTM 500 EXC-F is a bike 

with some vital numbers at 5kgs lighter 

which boasting 63hp! You can twist the 

throttle as far as you dare and the 500 

EXC-F will keep producing power. 

When you step back and take a look 

at the horsepower of the 450 vs 500, 

you would think that the 500 would too 

much. This may have been the case in 

year’s past, but with a drastic reduction 

in overall weight and the ability to use 

the torque of the 500 using a higher 

gear, it really is an impressive bike and 

surprisingly agile. 


But don’t be fooled – it is a hand-full if 

you aren’t careful… there were a couple 

of times that we got too cocky and 

overshot some of the corners.. 

The tighter single trail we were treated 

to didn’t feel like hard work on the 500 

EXC-F like we thought it might be, 

however the handling really did shine on 

the open, flowing trails using the torque 

of the bike in a higher gear that took the 

edge off the power. Climbing the hills was 

simply awesome. 

Kyle Says: The Tractor. Started my 

day on this bike and ended my day on it 

too. The days of these big bores being 

super outrageous and un-controllable are 

over. The power is impressive; the low 

down torque is enough to spin the earth 

around. The top end speed is exilarating. 

The weight? Less 5kgs, that’s more than 

one can lose after a meeting with the 

president. Yes by all means don’t get me 

wrong, this bike can get you into serious 

trouble but it is so easy to ride and so 

much fun. Whats better than doing a 

wheelie at 120 kphs – and being able to 

use the same bike at a Roof Qualifier. 

And these are our impressions. We are 

pretty sure we’ll be able to get our Mitts 

on to individual bikes over the next few 

months and we’ll run a few stand-alone 

features on each machine – and maybe 

even some comparisons with other 

brands. It’s a great time to ride. So many 

new bikes. What could be better?

TURBO TECH 

WHEN IS ENOUGH - 

ENOUGH? 

FIRE IT UP CAN AM MOD 

Take one of the biggest, baddest fastest 

SXS’s on the market - (Turbo Nogal), and 

make it - well even more berserk. Fire It 

Up claims to have found an extra 28 HP 

on the standard 131-HP Rotax 1000R 

V-Twin Engine - but you need to drive it 

to understand how fearsome it actually is 

when you put your foot flat. 

We borrowed this one - belonging to 

the famous racing couple from Barnard 

Vervoer for a day in the bush - and we’ll 

say the following... 

You already have huge horses. Now 

add the extra ponies - and remove the 

machines restrictions - best you strap in. 

When you put foot, the ass steps out and 

away you go to warp speed - in a couple 

of heartbeats. The good news is that the 

Mavericks stock Fox Suspension is great 

out of the box, so we had no issues in 

the handling, or, thankfully the braking 

department - just - take a bit of care. 

But - and here’s the kicker. Despite 

the mods, Fire It Up has not made the 

Maverick undriveable for day to day use. 


We went rock crawling while we marked 

one of the trails South of JHB - she never 

overheated, thanks to the aftermarket 

fans fitted that cool the radiators and belt 

drive system - and you can still happily 

use the engines torque to get you through 

the tricky stuff. 

The conversion that Fire It Up 

performed on the Maverick was a stage 

3 conversion, 28HP gain. 

Basically, The ECU/DME is remapped 

to offer maximum performance with the 

following additional features: 

1. Speed Limiter Removed. 

2. Torque Limiter Increased. 

3. Fan calibrated to switch on earlier. 

4. RPM limiter increased to safe levels. 

5. Throttle response improved 

6. ECU MAP adjusted for aftermarket 

components such as exhausts etc. 

Stage 1: 20HP gain on stock vehicleno 

modifications R5900.00 

Stage 2: 23 HP gain with aftermarket 

exhaust system R5900.00 excludes 

exhaust system 

Stage 3: 28 HP gain with CAT removal 

and exhaust system, cooling system 

improvements R6900.00 

So if you own a performance bike, 

quad, side by side, these are the guys 

who can make it run even better without 

any invasive surgery. Banie and Liesel 

have not driven their newly breathed 

upon Maverick yet - we’ll get their take 

on the enhancements in future issues, 

but we are fairly certain that they will be 

smiling - A lot.

If you did not join the Paul Piet ride, you missed out. The crowd descended onto the beautiful 

farmlands in the area to enjoy some of the best trail riding on the planet. Its a family affair with 

trails that cater for everyone with some pretty serious optional bits and pieces in between. Two 

days of riding - what a place, great crowd, congrats to all the kids who rode. And a big thank 

you to all the farmers who allow us to ride their farms... See you on the next one.

ADVENTURE 


with a stop at Linex 

Gaia is the Greek god of the Earth, described in 

Wikipedia like this “Gaia is the ancestral mother 

of all life: the primal Mother Earth goddess.” It’s 

also an ancient Greek term for “The Earth”, and 

if you really want to know more look it up on 

Google, although we must warn you it is quite 

confusing, with lots of references to Uranus 

and other confusing Greek mythological 

names. For instance the Titans were born 

out of a union between Gaia and Uranus 

(pronounce this carefully). If you spend a bit of 

time reading all this stuff you will come to the 

conclusion that the Greeks obviously spent 

lots of time partying with lots of wine, women 

and song, not to mention some dubious stuff in 

their after-dinner smoking rooms. 


Anyway, all of this was sort of the subject of one of Linex 

Yamaha’s famous entertainment evenings they put on 

every month. This particular evening Linex invited Ivana 

Colakovska and Manuel Torres, a couple who have spent 

the past three years travelling on a journey around the 

World, hence “Around Gaia” So far they have travelled 

over 120 000 km through 42 different countries. 

“Ok, you are telling yourself, so what? Lots of people 

have the same dream, and many of them actually manage 

to complete the trip. What makes Ivan and Manuels’ trip a 

little different is that most people put a lot of planning into 

their trip, and probably do a whole lot of research before 

they leave. They then set themselves targets of where they 

will go, how long it will take and how much it will cost. 

Not Ivana, who comes from Macedonia, and Manuel, 

who is Spanish. They must have met at one of those old 

time Greek parties, and in the aftermath decided travelling 

around the World would be a good idea. Their only 

planning was to do it on a motorcycle, never sleep in a 

hotel, never use a GPS or a map, and spend the very little 

money they have on important stuff like fuel for the bike. 

How they actually decided this is also shrouded in mystery 

as initially Ivana could only speak Macedonian, and 

Manuel who only speaks Spanish. They decided to talk 

to each other in English, which neither of them speak well 

either, but they manage somehow to communicate quite 

well. Just before they set out they decided to get married, 

hoping Ivana could get a Spanish passport, although that 

hasn’t happened yet. The next thing they did was go to 

the nearest bike shop, which luckily sold Yamahas, and 

bought a 660 Tenere’, a set of panniers and some spare 

tubes, and off they went. 

After a brief loop through Morocco, when Manuel 

learned to ride, they set off Southwards through Europe 

and eventually crossed to Australia. From Melbourne 

they shipped their bike to South America and crossed the 

continent from South to North. From there they rode up to 

Canada, and back down to the city of New York. Then they

airfreighted the bike and themselves to Johannesburg. 

Before setting off on the next leg of their trip they popped 

in to Linex for a service before setting off for Cape Town. 

Danny Mulder, owner of Linex, says the Yamaha Tenere’ 

was in remarkably good condition considering the distance 

it has covered, most of it in pretty tough conditions. “But,” 

he says, “that’s actually what this bike was made for”. 

What is even more remarkable is that, as Ivana explains, 

Manuel has no mechanical knowledge or skill whatsoever, 

None. Nada. Even on the few occasions they have been 

stopped by a puncture they simply wait until someone 

comes along to help them. What’s more, someone always 

does, even in the remotest places! 


Of course along the way they have 

had many extraordinary experiences, 

especially as they are often put up in the 

homes of people they meet along the 

way. They have even shared barns full of 

animals, winter stocks of vegetables, food 

for animals and much more. 

By far the worst experience was taking 

a tumble in Argentina where Ivana was 

trapped under the bike when it fell over, 

breaking both legs badly. A hospital in 

Argentina plated and screwed the bones 

together. Even that experience, she 

says, had its’ positive side because of 

the people they met at the time. Also, 

she says, it made them decide that 

they needed proper boots and other 

protective gear. Fortunately Forma, Rev’It 

and Schubert all came to the party and 

provided them with the right stuff. 

On a slightly downbeat note Ivana 

mentioned that the most difficult of the 

42 countries they visited when it came 

to getting a visa was South Africa. Only 

after two solid weeks of visiting the 

South African Embassy in New York 

did they eventually get the paperwork 

sorted for the start of their African 

adventure. However Manual went on to 

say that once the paperwork was done 

our customs and emigration took only 

minutes to clear them. 

They say a picture tells a thousand 

words, so here are some pics of their 

journey so far. We look forward to hearing 

how they get along in Africa.

the journey continues 

Day 2... “Nothing behind us, everything 

ahead of us, as is ever so on the road.” 

- Jack Kerouac, On the Road. 

Off again, Mark looking a bit bruised 

but raring to go – quick breakfast and 

back into the Kita traffic we arrived in 

the night before. 

A very different day to yesterday, 

once we left the traffic behind and 

2 hours out at a town called Nyeri 

where we stopped to refuel. A little 

snippet of information, Nyeri is famous 

for the Outspan Hotel where Lord 

Baden Powell started the “Boy Scouts 

Movement”. 

Then off through the rift valley which 

is really two deep valleys. We saw the 

geothermal rigs which are developing 

Kenya’s thermal power capacity and we 

stopped on the Laikipia Plains with an 

absolutely clear view of the magnificent 

Mount Kenya. The highest point we 

reached on the ride was 9003ft! 

Paul ran out of breath and the bikes 

out of steam! Then on to Nyahururu 

where we stopped for coffee and 

visited Thompson’s falls and to the 

equator where we had picnic lunch 

and took photos. 

A relatively easy day, (which Mark 

was very grateful for) with beautiful 

scenery and pleasant temperatures 

and very little traffic after the first 

two hours. To finish the day, Malcolm 

changed character and insisted he 

lead us into Eldoret at below the 

speed limit for the last 80km, as the 

local police have a reputation of being 

particularly vigilant! 

We arrived at the Boma Inn at 

17h00pm making it another long day. 

The team had some time to work 

on a few snags that had showed 

up on some of the bikes - we are 

still struggling with the bike-to-bike 

comms and so a few of the techo- 


wizards in the team have been scratching their heads to 

try and get everyone connected. All in all another great 

day in Africa and tomorrow’s 160km to the Ugandan 

border brings a new day and another country. 

Day 3 ... the end of the beginning! 

Day three is behind us and another 626km and 12.5 

hours for Mark, Rob, Quinton, Charles and Paul. Mike 

and Rolfe, with Raph and Cyrille who stayed behind to 

help, took 14.5 hours after Rolfe’s bike broke down just 

outside Lira. 

Sheila with Noeleen and Kirsty got in on 13 hours after 

stopping off to hand out shirts, caps and soccer balls 

to 4 groups of mums and children from the Ugandan 

Langi tribe who were internally displaced during the 

Joseph Kony war (LRA) which started in 1986 and is 

still simmering in parts of DRC and the CAR. 

The day started with a quick breakfast and an early 

and fresh 6.30 start from our hotel and a 30 minute 

drive to Turbo where we were welcomed by the 

One Heart Foundation band, staff and children. The 

foundation was started during the 2007/2008 election 

violence which displaced and orphaned many children 

in that region. The foundation houses and schools 

75 children and aspires to get to 100. We were spoilt 

with the school band and choir, which was amazing 

- no music, just beautiful young voices all singing in 

harmony. Philippe handed out a donation to support 

the securing of further ground and completion of 

another school wing. This foundation holds the belief 

that “together we can end the poverty cycle…one 

child at a time” - I urge to look up their website and 

see just what good work is being done at http://www. 

oneheartchallenge.org/ 

Then the Kenya - Uganda border which, supported 

by the Freight Forwarders team, was a very smooth 

experience. One bit of information - it takes 48 hours on 

a good day to get a truck through the border post and 

we have approximately 120 a week travelling through to 

Kibali from Mombasa! 

So we got across the border at 2pm with another 

440km to go and that takes character! Anyway, despite 

the challenges with Rolfe’s bike, we all got into the 

Bwana Tembo lodge on the edge of Lake Albert and, 

after a cold Nile Special beer, all went away. 

Dinner was a fantastic fillet and great wine - thanks 

again to the Randgold logistics team. We were joined 

by Robin, another amazing person who joined the 

Family Care NGO in 2001. Again it was a privilege to 

be able to support the great work being done with 

orphans, children of child soldiers and disadvantaged 

children. It is run by full-time non-salaried volunteers, 

thrilled with the potential of Uganda and working 

together with others to make a difference. Check out 

the website: http://familycareuganda.com/ 

We think today was tough but it has nothing in 

comparison to what the children we have met have 

been through. We thank you all who have given so 

generously in helping us to support those special 

people across Africa that work so hard to save our 

children and the mothers of our special continent who 

are neglected and so often abused by society! 

Tomorrow we get through the border into DRC and 

leave the tar roads behind for a few weeks. 

Nothing like an ice cold one...

Day 4 ... “Life is either a daring 

adventure or nothing at all.” - 

Helen Keller, The Open Door 

We all arrived at the Kibali mine 

safely today after a staggered start, 

a border crossing from Uganda 

to the DRC and a total of 400km. 

Mark, Charles, Paul and Rod left 

the Bwana Tembo lodge at 7.00am 

and Mike and Rolfe stayed behind 

to fix Rolfe’s bike. Paul earned a 

pink duct tape award whist still on 

the lodge road crossing a “hidden” 

railway line which crossed the road 

in front of him suddenly! Mike soon 

had Rolfe’s bike sorted and they 

too were on the road within an hour 

after us. 

It was a great ride across the 

upper regions of Lake Albert 

and through the lush greenery of 

Central Africa. Lots of roadworks 

and even more speed humps – the 

Ugandans are certainly speed 

hump champions. In one section 

we went over more than twenty in a 

space of 2km! 

We tested the reserve tanks by 

running the main tank to empty and 

Rob and Paul decided to have their 

own rally for a while as they failed 

to see that we had stopped at a 

petrol station for refuelling and shot 

past us getting to the border town 

Arua ahead of everyone. Anyway 

when we arrived in Arua, we soon 

located them and it was coffee and 

refreshments at the Golden Court 

Hotel whilst we waited for Rolfe 

and Mike. 

When they were 20km out we 

started out to meet them, refuel 

and then to the border. It was a 

relatively painless experience with 

the officials on both sides being 

very helpful. 

The Territorial Administrator for 

Aru was on the DRC side of the 

border to meet us with his entourage 

and we did not even have to stop 

on the DRC side. The passports 

and other paperwork were dealt 

with between the logistics team and 

administration and caught up with 

us through the day. 

On the DRC side we were 

met with great fanfare and lots 

of motorbike riders from the 

community that accompanied us to 

our various engagements blowing 

their hooters! We then met up 

with Jeanine, one of Randgold’s 

members, who has being doing 

great work with children and 

woman that have suffered under 

the various conflicts across the 

DRC. She was appointed by 

President Kabila with the authority 

of engaging and leading the 

education of soldiers, and receiving 

and dealing with cases of abuse 

and other conflict related impact 

on the woman and children of 

the DRC. One has to commend 

President Kabila for this initiative 

and by the way it is his birthday 

today so Happy Birthday Mr 

President. We visited the INPP 

centre which is working to educate 

ex-combatants and also give

people, impacted by the scourges 

of war, skills that will allow 

them to be economically active 

and take to place back in their 

communities. The skills training 

range from computer skills, sewing 

and dress making, mechanic’s 

and woodwork skills. Already the 

classes are full and the centre is 

now running additional classes on 

a shift roster! It’s a great initiative 

supported through a partnership 

comprising the DRC Presidency, 

our foundation - Nos Vies en 

Partage and the INPP. Another 

great initiative that we are able to 

support and will do into the future 

- Jeanine we are really proud of the 

work you are doing. 

After the visit to the centre and 

handing out some well-deserved 

diplomas, off we set for the town 

of Doko and the Kibali mine. Mark 

was proud to be able to show off 

the 190km road that the Kibali team 

had built to join the mine with the 

rest of the world. 

Despite the quality of the road 

Paul had another pink duct tape 

moment - two in one day - driving 

lessons for him on the rest day 

that’s for sure! 

5km from the mine we were met 

by the community, management 

and local motor bikers (this time 

well behaved) to escort us into to 

the Durba community centre where 

we were spoilt with DRC and South 

African National anthems sung by 

the local orphanage choir - we also 

were welcomed by the Durba band, 

the Community Chairwoman and 

the deputy TA. 

After formalities were drove our 

bikes to a special compound set 

aside for us by Hendrik, the mine 

engineering manager, so tomorrow 

the team can work on then and 

get them fully prepped for the next 

encounter which is rumoured not to 

be for sissies!!! 

Tomorrow Mark has his day 

job to attend to and the rest of 

the BOYZ need to get things into 

shipshape for an early start on 

Monday! 

Day 5 ... “Sometimes the most 

important thing in a whole day 

is the rest we take between two 

deep breaths.” 

Today was our first rest day, (and 

well deserved I might say) at the 

Randgold / AGA Sokimo Kibali gold 

mine in north east DRC. 

The team took the opportunity 

to get laundry done and make sure 

the little niggles experienced wrt 

the bikes were addressed. The 

damage to Mark’s bike, after his fall 

on the first day, was repaired with 

the help of the mine’s engineering 

team, under the supervision of 

Mike. Paul’s handlebars were 

straightened after his pink duct 

tape event. Oil was topped up, 

bikes cleaned and we all worked 

on getting ready for the first real 

encounter with the DRC roads or 

lack thereof. 

Mark spent most of the day 

working on his day job and then 

the afternoon was spent on NVEP 

matters. We visited the Association 

Feminine pour la Defense des 

Droits de la Femme et l’enfant - an 

association created in 2006 under 

the leadership of Marianne with the 

aim of preventing abuse against 

women and children and their 

rights, especially when side-lined by 

society. It was a moving ceremony 

and again highlighted the great 

work done by individuals to help 

The monument 

at the centre 

of Africa... 


the women and children of Africa. The 

association has over the past 10 years 

assisted over 200 widows and orphans 

in the surrounding regions of Kibali and 

received support last time round as well. 

The Boyzonbikes also handed out a 

cheque to an association of motivated 

nurses aimed at assisting pregnant 

woman in pre and post natal care. 

The team then travelled to Watsa and 

spent a few hours with the Dominican 

Sisters, a group who run an orphanage 

for neglected and abandoned babies. 

What an impact it had seeing babies from 

a few days to a couple of months old 

who have been abandoned or orphaned 

as a result of the ongoing LRA activities, 

particularly around Farage. It was both 

a moving and depressing experience to 

witness the great work being carried out 

by these special people of faith! 

Then back to Kibali to pack and 

complete the final preparations for the 

first day of the ‘real deal’ driving through 

the Congo and all the challenges that we 

are about to be confronted with. 

Day 6 ... Mud, mud glorious mud! 

After a hearty breakfast we said our 

goodbyes to the Kibali team. A big thank 

you to the whole team and in particular 

to Hennie, Speedy and Craig for assisting 

with the bike repairs. 

And off we set with the road 

deteriorating rapidly after we passed 

Chief Surur village a few kilometres from 

the mine. The road was very muddy 

in places because of a storm that had 

passed through overnight. Mark was 

the first to earn another pink duct 

tape breaking his windshield off in the 

process. And incidentally he went on 

to earn two more! Rob went through 

one of those enormous pot holes that 

became deeper than expected and in 

the process hit his windshield with his 

helmet breaking the windshield! We did 

everything you read about when travelling 

Roads. What Roads. 

by vehicle in the DRC - we came across 

trucks which were stuck - trucks trying to 

pass other trucks that were completely 

bogged down - it took us 5 hours to do 

the first hundred kilometres! 

As you can imagine, Mike, Quinton and 

Rolfe were in their element! 

We were met by the local taxi bikes at 

the entrance to the town of Faradji and, 

with great fanfare, they escorted us to 

the town centre where we met the local 

officials and our own Obote who works at 

Kibali is the local chief. We were shown 

the Assosa Saio monument in memory 

of the DRC soldiers who died during the 

2nd World War while fighting in Abyssinia 

- Ethiopia. After that we visited a teachers 

training college built by Kibali gold mine. 

Then we met up with Major Mumbo 

who lead us on a much improved road 

towards our destination but we stopped 

in at the Garamba National Park for 

lunch. The park is run by African Parks - 

it’s a world heritage site and was home 

to the last wild Northern White Rhino. 

You should check out their website at 

https://www.african-parks.org/the-parks/ 

garamba/about 

Lunch was great and then off to Dungu 

on a well maintained dirt road (maintained 

by the UN) and arrived to another 

spectacular reception at the outskirts 

of the town. Mark was presented with 

flowers and then the well-wishers tucked 

the flowers into the front of Rob’s and 

Mark’s bikes and we were escorted by 

a police contingent and the local taxi 

men on motorbikes through town to the 

UN guesthouse where we were greeted 

by the Territorial Administrator - an old 

friend of both Mark and Charles and the 

Kibali project. After well-earned shower 

Mark and Charles went with Cyrille and 

some of our local partners to view the 

two charities that would be receiving 

donations at the function later that 

evening. The bikes were washed and the 

team that stayed behind tinkered with a 

few repairs that were needed after the 

challenging day’s riding! 

First stop was Jean-Claude’s APRU 

association for the promotion of rural 

life which focusses on rehabilitation of 

children and families released by the 

LRA - some of the victims shared their 

experiences with us - it’s hard to believe 

what mankind does to each other! Again 

Jean-Claude and your team we salute 

you for your efforts. 

And then we visited and met this 

most amazing person - Sister Angelique 

CRAD who runs an orphanage with a 

focus on tiny tots - it was an amazing 

experience - much like Wema but with 

very little means - she has 35 orphans 

below 3 years old and still more above 

that age. They live together in a large 

dormitory style dwelling. Clearly sister 

Angelique and her helpers do a great job 

as everyone is healthy and happy! They 

greeted us so very warmly, especially 

the tiny tots who came and shook hands 

and then just kept holding on - the sister 

also runs a clinic for post-natal care and 

a school. 

Tomorrow’s another tough day so we 

have the donations ceremony hosted 

by the TA this evening and then early 

bed for all. Also a big thank you to 

Fennie and IOB who sponsored the 

lunch at Garamba and the function and 

accommodation for the bikers at the UN 

Guest House. 


Day 7 … Some people watch movies 

some make movies! 

We thought yesterday was a challenge 

and had lots of mud but today proved 

all that to be wrong. Today has to go 

down as the most hectic riding day we 

have done and there is no doubt that the 

BOYZONBIKES made their own movie 

today! 

We also visited the Centre of Africa on 

the way which is something not many 

people do. Mark received an amazing 

wood carving from the surrounding 

community. 

On a regular basis the road was lined 

with people cheering us on - looking back 

they probably thought we were crazy 

doing what were were doing, knowing 

what lay ahead of us. Chief Danga and 

his whole village of Nanga Zizi including 

dancing girls and a band were waiting for 

us to drive past. Same with Rungu which 

is located 65km from Isiro on a large river 

- everyone was disappointed that we 

could not stop for too long! 

It was a big duct tape day with Paul 

and Rob earning three stripes and Mark 

one - the pros in the team came close on 

occasions but so far have managed to 

stay on!! 

Some of the “potholes” (hard to call 

them potholes - rather very large mud 

pits with truck tracks that are up to 12ft 

deep) were impossible to navigate - we 

all had near miss encounters but Paul 

dropped his bike in one of the mega 

potholes flooding the bike. Mike Puzey is 

an amazing man - he stripped the bike, 

cleared the engine of water and we were 

back on the road in two hours! 

A fifteen hour day all in all of which the 

last three and a bit hours entailed driving 

in the dark - thank goodness for Mike’s 

spotlights that he fitted to the bikes. Poor 

Quinton’s lights kept fusing so he had to 

ride with the assistance of a headlamp 

strapped to his windshield. 

Eventually tired but relieved, were 

met at the outskirts of Isiro by Colonel 

Kadume and a little later by Father Roger 

and the Dominican Sisters as well as the 

students from Isiro University who had 

clearly been waiting for a long time. With 

lots of hooting and shouting and singing 

we were escorted to the Bomokandi 

Hotel where Fennie from IOB and 

Jean Claude from DCMS were there to 

welcome and get us settled in and also 

help in getting some the mud cleaned off 

our gear - then a bucket shower. 

Clean and fresh we then went to dinner 

with the Govenor’s Chief of Staff where 

we handed out NVEP donations to: 

Institute Sainte Therese - where we 

Note the Senke. that 

was our guide for a day 

or two - what a rider! 

are sponsoring classroom furniture and 

teaching materials. 

Vivre et Soigner En Milieu Rural - this 

is an orphanage centre which supports 

mostly AIDS orphans and does not have 

basic accommodation for the little people 

they care for and NVEP are assisting in 

building a dormitory. 

Dynamic Culturel Haut Uele - a centre 

that support woman widowed by the 

various conflicts in the province with a 

focus on giving them skills to assist them 

re-joining society. 

Fondation Lola which helps children 

from needy families that show real talent 

and looks to select special achievers 

based on ability and academic results. 

It was a challenging night with Mark 

having to manage with his French 

and Charles and Mark stayed on for 

questions, getting to bed at 1.30am. 

Cyrille got in with the first vehicle at 

3.00am and Raph the next morning after 

we had left! 

The pictures as always tell a better 

story. 

Day 8 ... Slip sliding away … 

After yesterday’s hectic day, we were up 

at 5.30am because some of the bikes, 

Rolfe’s in particular, needed attention. We 

had a quick breakfast and, while the team 

went to fuel up, Mark, Charles and Cyrillie 

went to greet the Governor - they had a 

great meeting with the Governor and his 

team and he very generously, on behalf 

of his province, donated full fuel tanks 

to the BOYZONBIKES - a big thank you 

Governor and Mark says he will donate 

the equivalent to NVEP. 

After a group photo, we were off to join 

the team, fuel up and then off to Nia Nia 

some 233km away! The first 60km was a 

great dirt road after which we started to 

see the odd wheel tracks in the mud and 

the road got progressively worse until the 

suddenly at Wamba the road turned to a 

quagmire with bogged down trucks and 

very few “safe” options to get through! 

It was hectic and as we got through 

one muddy obstacle so the next 

appeared - the bikes started running hot 

and there was a lot of riding the clutch 

and sliding around - we soon worked out 

that it was safest to stick in the groove 

of the bike ahead on you! There was 

one particular stretch where the deeply 

incised tracks reached 9 feet below 

surface with a narrow “gang plank” type 

option to drive between the mess - we all 

got through except Charles who miscued 

and ended upside down and up to the 

chest in mud!!! Quinton renamed him 

Charlie Brown!! 

Needless to say, there were a number 

duct tape awards - Charles receiving the 

man of the tour (so far!) and then Paul got 

another and Quinton joined the duct tape 

gallery as well!! 

It was hot, wet and muddy and went on 

for more than 30km until things started 

to get better. We eventually arrived at 

Nia Nia at around 4pm and our scout on 

a Chine-moto scurried around to locate 

our hotel which was actually a Catholic 

Convent run by Farther Roman. We were 

made very welcome and some of the 

gang got washing done. We had the bikes 

washed and Pacific arrived from Bunia 

with some great South African red wine 

and cheese Goma which saved the day. 

The Boyz were shattered and so 

everyone had an early night after hearty 

meal prepare by Father Roman’s team. 


Day 9 ... Pledges reach the US$ 2 

million mark as the boyz overcome 

muddy challenges! 

We all had a good rest and were up at 

5.30am to finish off on some cleaning up. 

Some of the team had laundry done. After 

two very tough days, it was great to have 

a relatively slow start after a breakfast 

of omelettes and good old bully beef on 

bread with coffee and tea followed by a 

farewell to Father Roman and his team. 

We had to fuel up and eventually got out 

of Nia Nia at 8.50am. 

We rode on a good dirt road all the way 

to Kisangani stopping three times along 

the way. It was great driving through 

the forest kilometre after kilometre with 

villages dotted along the way. 

The last stop was at a little village 

called 122 which is the distance to 

Kisangani! We stopped for cold drinks 

and sat at a little shop taking in the local 

village vibe for a while. 

Then back on the road and after 100km 

with 23km to go, we were met by Robert 

and Shabir from DCMS, who are one of 

our contractors and partners in Kibali, 

and the taxi men in NVEP t-shirts along 

with lots of cheering and loud music. 

The taxi men lead us into town and 

to our hotel amongst much fanfare and 

hooting, arriving around 3pm. The hotel 

Riviera is pure luxury compared to where 

we have stayed since leaving Kibali. 

After a very tasty lunch of Lebanese 

cuisine we had a shower and the team 

started working through the bikes which 

had taken quite a hammering over the 

past three day. Mark spent the time 

catching up on his day job. The bikes 

were washed, topped up with oil and 

the filters washed and oiled. Some of 

the bikes needed Mikes magic touch to 

solve circuitry and starter faults. Mike 

had been jump starting Charles’ bike 

since he earned the name Charlie Brown 

yesterday - that problem is now fixed. 

We then all jumped into Shabir’s and 

his brothers’ car and drove down to 

the Congo River to view the Wagenya 

Fishermen. The Wagenya tribe have 

been fishing the Congo rapids since time 

immemorial and still fish with the same 

traditional baskets made out of vines and 

material that grows naturally in the forest. 

Back to the Riviera and, after putting 

the bikes back together the team 

assembled in the bar for refreshments 

whilst waiting for Cyrille and Raph to 

rock up with the ’all too precious’ spares, 

having spent a night out in the jungle. The 

vehicle they were travelling in is still out 

there. Pacific, another Congolese partner 

of ours, worked out a plan to rescue them 

but our land cruisers are still stuck behind 

a number of trucks that are completely 

bogged down and there is no way round! 

Tomorrow is a 335km day similar to 

today but with some bad tar portions and 

potholes. 

Day 10 ... All’s well that ends well! 

The day started with a very tasty 

breakfast - some confusion over fuel 

which proved to be short so they had to 

get the petrol station open at 7am to get 

the extra 40 litres required. 

The first 220km was a mixture of 

broken tar and dirt sections but ridable 

although the sudden appearance of 

muddy patches (in particular in the valley 

bottoms) kept us on our toes! As did the 

sudden appearance of potholes - and 

potholes in tar are very much harder to 

ride than in the dirt road. We stopped a 

couple of times to catch our breath and 

allow Mike to review Charles’ bike, which 

has been giving problems, and Mark’s 

one spare tank sprung a leak so we had 

to drain it into the main tank - all in all it 

was technical enough to enjoy and not 

get bored. After taking a break with a 

‘luke cool’ coke and re-fuelling, we were 

off on the last leg to Punia - a change to 

the planned route requested by the DRC 

security. 

We had two spills today, with Rob and 

Paul earning additional stripes, - there 

were also a number of close shaves with 

a few near misses involving pigs crossing 

the road and oncoming traffic that 

NEVER moves over!!! 

Then we crossed the Lowa River on 

the Bac Lowa Pont after waiting for just 

under an hour! 

And then with the change in plan, we 

were off to Punia - on arrival we stopped 

off at the TA’s office to pay our respects 

only to learn that Raph had had an 

accident - the Prado was totalled but 

fortunately the driver and Raph were 

unscathed - the TA (Fracious Omandji) 

very kindly sent his land cruiser to fetch 

them and most importantly the key 

spares all co-ordinated from afar with 

the TA’s assistants. It’s amazing how the 

Randgold team can ”pull rabbits out the 

hat” when things go a little pear shaped. 

After some phoning around we were 

able to secure 4 rooms at Notre Dame du 

Bon Conseil de Kindu at a priests’ centre 

called Mater Dai PUNIA and headed by 

Father Gabriel. The sisters at Notre Dame 

du Bon Conseil de Kindu were so friendly 

and hospitable - we all were invited to 

dinner along with the TA and it was a very 

comfortable and friendly evening. 

Another long 11 hour day and, as Rob 

points out, there always seems to be a 

“sting in the tail” on these trips! 

Tomorrow is another challenging day 

as we are going to try and pack two 

days into one and get to Kindu - we have 

some 41 broken bridges to cover and 

245km to ride. 


TECH TEST 

FLASHED 

STANDARD KTM 1050 VS FLASHED KTM 1050 


Last month, we brought you the news 

about Fire It Ups flashing solution to 

find more non-invasive horsepower. 

Then we dropped off our KTM 1050 for 

some treatment, along with a Can Am 

Maverick Turbo. They sorted this 1050 

to stage 1 and found an extra 10 BHP 

odd. The Maverick is still undergoing 

treatment… 

Why did KTM build the 1050? 

A less aggressive adventure model, they 

built the 1050 adventure to comply with 

overseas legislation for young riders – the 

bikes have to be under a certain amount 

of horsepower. So, although it shares 

the RC8 engine, it has be de-tuned to 

meet the requirements. A little smaller, 

lighter and with lower fuel consumption, 

the 1050 Adventure stands proudly 

alongside its larger siblings. It is a 

supremely competent and well equipped 

motorcycle. Traction control with different 

modes and ABS come as standard. The 

engine is built with the same state-of-the 

art technology as the 1190 engine and 

even though the engine is a little smaller, 

it delivers nearly the same power and 

torque up to 95hp (70kW). It represents 

the easy entry into the world of KTM 

travel enduros. We wondered if this 

smaller, nimbler bike it could be made to 

run like the 1190… 

Clive explains: 

Sundays are for riding bikes fast. Well 

any day is really, but Sunday, early 

Spring, good friends and open roads are 

just special. 

With the KTM 1050 Adventure waiting 

in the driveway, we just couldn’t wait. In 

fact we had two brand new KTM 1050 

Adventures’ ready to roll. The first was 

from KTM South Africa, and the other 

an identical bike fresh out of Professor 

Craig Langton’s laboratory at Fire it Up in 

Bryanston. 

First up was the standard KTM 1050. 

KTM’s Adventure family has a special 

look about them, and can’t be mistaken 

for anything else. The orange, silver and 


lack paintwork and big purposeful V 

Twin motor just peeking out here and 

there give their bikes a magnificent 

purposeful presence. Like all KTM’s 

the equipment fitted to the 1050 is out 

of the top drawer. It’s got some of the 

best brakes, suspension and other 

bits money can buy, whilst deep down 

inside, German giant Bosch and KTM 

have installed an incredibly sophisticated 

electronic package to control the “go” 

part as well as to provide a wonderfully 

unobtrusive riding aid package with the 

smoothly integrated ABS, traction control 

and KTM’s exclusive “Motorcycle stability 

control” (MSC). The rider can select three 

different riding modes, rain, street and 

sport, and can turn the MSC off (although 

why anyone would do that is a mystery) 

The MSC incorporates the traction control 

as well. On this bike there is no “Off road” 

mode as it is kind of an out and out sports 

touring road bike. We’ve been asking 

since its inception that they fit some 

spoked wheels and a 21” front end… 

The rider can select the different modes 

with the flick of a switch on the move 

and review a vast amount of information, 

including oil temperature, on a very easy 

to read dash panel. 

Over the past year or so KTM have 

managed to move away from their bone 

hard seats and now fit one of the most 

comfortable units around. Although this is 

a road orientated Adventure bike it shares 

the design and comfort of the seat with 

the rest of the KTM Adventure family. The 

rider can move around easily, and there is 

lots of space for the pillion passenger to 

be comfortable as well. 

The 1050, makes almost as much 

horsepower as it bigger brother 1190, 

and although they share the same V - 

twin design, the slightly smaller 1050 

is quieter, and much smoother. It also 

feels more willing to rev and goes about 

its’ business incredibly enthusiastically, 

controlled superbly by the ride by wire 

throttle. Quite honestly this is one of the 

nicest of the big KTM V twin’s to ride. 

There isn’t really any mechanical reason 

for it to be so, but, as we all find so often, 

it’s the overall feel, sound and riding 

experience that make riders enjoy one 

bike more than another. This is one of 

those bikes. 

The biggest advances in motorcycle 

technology over the past few years 

have been the electronic packages…. 

and before a whole bunch of you start 

protesting that you don’t like ABS, 

traction control is for sissies and all the 

hoary old complaints, take note that 

these days your words impress less 

and less people. Electronics are here 

to stay. In fact as they become more 

sophisticated they become more useful 

and add a huge positive dimension to our 

riding pleasure. They also keep us safer, 

and probably save money as well as even 

a small fall on one of today’s bikes where 

body parts are damaged can be very 

expensive. They also help you ride better, 

go faster if you like, and above all give 

you a better margin of safety.

Please note that Fire It Up is an independent company and it not associated to any other companies in South Africa whatsoever. Any perceived similarities are merely a coincidence

In Street mode, the Fire It Up 1050 is 

significantly faster... through all the gears. 

And now to the next part of this story… 

One man who has embraced the 

electronics on modern motorcycles is 

Craig Langston in his new Fire-it-up shop 

in Bryanston. That’s part of Sandton if 

you don’t already know. 

Craig has been in the motorcycle 

industry for a long time, and understands 

that every rider and bike owner likes to 

stand out from the crowd, even if only 

a little. In the past Craig has offered his 

customers really professional personal 

paint jobs on their bikes, custom 

accessories and of course a wide range 

of personal apparel that is just that little 

bit different. 

Another avenue that riders like to 

explore often in their quest for more 

motorcycling enjoyment is to modify their 

bikes for more performance. The old 

school way is to change the pipe for a 

more efficient (usually louder) one, modify 

the cams and head, and fit equipment 

like a Power Commander to adjust the 

earlier electronics. If done properly, you 

can end up with the fastest bike around. 

Engine mods though, are frighteningly 

expensive, often make the bike harder 

to ride, more difficult to repair and often 

actually reduce the value when it comes 

to selling or trading in. 

Craig has specialised in a technique 

called “Flashing”, where he plugs a 

laptop into the latest electronics and 

modifies the factory settings. He can 

change the fuel mixture, ignition settings, 

torque curves and many other features 

so that the bike will rev faster, rev a bit 

more and have a more responsive throttle 

feel. All of this of course isn’t done by 

guess work. Craig has perfected his 

skill by careful analysis and study of 

motorcycle electronics in general and 

specific manufacturers and models in 

particular, so this is not a hit and miss 

procedure. The results can be measured 

accurately and recorded. The factories 

could of course do all of this as well, but 

because of mass production and a host 

of other considerations they settle for a 

compromise setting which will suit the 

majority of riders. 

Craig isn’t shy about his flashing results 

and was very happy to let us compare a 

new KTM 1050 that he has “flashed” with 

an equally new standard one. The first 

impression was that the bike felt just like 

the standard one. It started, idled and 

drove just a quiet and as smoothly. Like 

the standard 1050 it was smooth as silk 

and eager to rev. Riding it on its’ own 

you would be hard pressed to tell if it had 

been modified at all. 


It also feels more willing 

to rev and goes about 

its’ business incredibly 

enthusiastically, controlled 

superbly by the ride by wire 

throttle. Quite honestly this 

is one of the nicest of the 

big KTM V twin’s to ride. “

However, when we met up with the standard bike out on the 

open road things changed. The flashed bike absolutely howled 

away from the standard one. No matter which gear, or who was 

riding the Fire-it-Up bike, it is significantly faster. The top end 

however was identical as the rev limit on both bikes was set the 

same, and they both peaked out in 6th gear on our remote private 

test track just past the Heidelberg N3 Sunday speed trap. 

As everything else was stock standard, this could be the ideal 

mod for the rider who wants to have the edge on his friends without 

them knowing. As we have said before, the beauty is that the bike 

doesn’t lose any tractability, has no noise or starting issues and 

Craig tells us it will have no influence on the reliability of the engine 

or the electronics. It certainly won’t affect the resale value either. 

Also, if for any reason (we can’t think of one) the owner would like 

to put the bike back to standard Craig could do so in a flash. 

Riding these two KTM’s together revealed something else. At 

first, like always, we selected the peak performance mode, in 

this case “Sport” on both bikes, and rode them most of the time 

with this setting. Then just to feel the difference on the standard 

bike we selected “Street” To our surprise the bike felt smoother 

and seemed to rip through the gears a bit quicker. So we tried it 

again against the flashed bike, which we left in “Sport”mode. Sure 

enough the gap between the two was less than before. Until we 

put the Fire-it Up bike in “Street” mode as well. Then the modded 

bike pulled away in any gear even faster than before. 

First thing Monday morning we were on the phone to the techies 

at KTM SA. We wanted to know what the difference was between 

street and sport mode on the 1050. This is what we found out. 

This is new generation electronic package, and is capable of 

“reading” the average style of the rider. If it discovers the rider is 

aggressive on the throttle, brakes and cornering over a significant 

period of time it adjusts itself to cope with that style irrespective 

of the selected riding mode (excluding the rain mode). Therefore it 

was allowing us full power in street mode when we rode it in anger 

against the modified bike. The flashed bike wasn’t fooled when 

we set it in “street” mode, and provided full power as well. The 

only difference once it does this between the two modes is that in 

“street” mode the bike will still have more “Traction control” when 

accelerating from standstill or changing down and cornering. 

This of course gives us a clue to where motorcycle electronics 

are going. In future high performance bikes will probably offer 

less choice in selecting programs as they will have much smarter 

electronics which will read our riding style at the time, and program 

themselves accordingly. The wonderful Honda DCT Africa twin 

already does this. 


The 1050 is an 

awesome little 

streetbike and 

very comfortable 

for a pillion. 

Yes Kyle, we know the 1050 felt 

better after the flash, you don’t 

have to go showing off now... 

“Quite honestly in many ways the 1050 is the most enjoyable 

bike of the three. It is just a tad smaller and feels less serious 

and more manageable for many riders, but the engine is the 

smoothest of the three. It is also quieter and just so willing. 

It revs out just a bit more and revving it through the slick 

gearbox is just so cool. Tackling a twisty mountain pass or a 

track day on this bike is the most fun ever. It’s a great bike, go 

and check one out.” 

Craig Langton probably knows this 

already and will lead the way in adjusting 

the electronics in future for those riders 

who always want more. 

Coming back to the KTM 1050. Here 

in South Africa this model seems a little 

lost in the KTM Adventure bike line up. 

Perhaps it’s the little something we South 

Africans seem to have inherent in our 

nature where “bigger must be better” 

That’s why a 1600cc Ford will always 

sell better that a 1300, even though it’s 

a bit more expensive. When the 1050, 

1190 and 1290 KTM’s are lined up on a 

dealer’s floor there isn’t a lot between 

them in looks or features. When prices 

are compared, especially for buyers who 

finance their bikes, the monthly payments 

are pretty close, so price doesn’t often 

come into it. 

Quite honestly in many ways the 1050 

is the most enjoyable bike of the three. It 

is just a tad smaller and feels less serious 

and more manageable for many riders, 

but the engine is the smoothest of the 

three. It is also quieter and just so willing. 

It revs out just a bit more and revving it 

through the slick gearbox is just so cool. 

Tackling a twisty mountain pass or a track 

day on this bike is the most fun ever. It’s 

a great bike, go and check one out. 

What our testing found: 

Sports mode: Standard to flashed model 

– pretty close, although the flashed model 

generally feels better and a bit stronger. 

Identical top speeds. 

Street Mode: Standard to flashed 

model – the flashed bike Blew the 

standard off from bottom to top – the 

acceleration differences were remarkable. 

Flashed 1050 to stock 1190: The flashed 

1050 holds the 1190 through first, second 

and third, then the big 1190 runs away. 

Next test: 1050 stage 2 and stage 3, 

then bring on the 1190. 

Fire It Up! (011) 467-0737 


KTM’s 1190 is still 

stronger and faster 

than the stage 1 

1050. We’ll compare 

the stage 2 and 3 

models soon.

THUNDERVALLEY 

A l l t h e r e s u l t s f r o m P i e t e r m a r i t z b u r g , K Z N ! 

A cool mist draped itself over the 

track, and it was a crisp morning that 

greeted the competitors in round 5 of 

the Monster Energy TRP Distributors SA 

National MX Champs at Thunder Valley, 

Pietermaritzburg. 

The early freshness did not last long 

however, and before they knew it, the 

competitors were dealing with a warm, 

dry and challenging day on the track. 

The track featured a hard pack with lots 

of tabletops, and it was a fast but very 

unforgiving day of riding. 

The day’s competition kicked off with 

MX2, and the division stalwarts Kerim 

Fitzgerald and David Goosen were both 

in it to win it. Kerim proved the onform 

competitor and won the 2nd heat 

comfortably to ensure the overall win from 

Goosen and Ant Raynard in third. 

In MX1 there was also a serious 2nd 

Heat domination, this time by Sacha 

Naude with Fitzgerald and Goosen hot on 

his heels, and Raynard not far behind. This 

win gives Naude the points lead in MX1, 

and earns him the red plate. 

MX3 saw some of the fiercest battles of 

the day go down! This highly competitive 

division saw Ryan Hunt and Ian Topliss 

going hard, with neither giving any quarter. 

There were a couple of bumps and nudges 

going down as they both gave it stick. The 

lead switched constantly throughout this 

entertaining heat and it was Hunt who 

emerged victorious. 

Ladies: 

After perennial Ladies competitor Toni 

Jardine was involved in a crash in heat 

one, Brittany Cuthbert and Nanda Clowes 

were left in the race and clawing for 

victory. After some spectacular racing and 

the lead changing many times, Cuthbert 

kept her head down on the final stretch for 

the win. 

Jonathan Hubbard owned Senior 

Support, with Cameron Odendaal right 

behind him. 


PAGES BROUGHT TO YOU BY: 

The inspirational 125 High School 

divisions saw a new rider on the top step. 

He has been at the top all season, but 

things just haven’t been going his way. In 

this event Marco De Vrye had his day and 

took over from the regular top runners, 

Keegan Hickson Mahoney in 2nd and 

Slade Smith in 3rd. 

With the track being fast and taxing, 

there were a few victims claimed during 

the day and a couple of falls. Jason Visser 

and Wikus van Sandwyk both had slams, 

but managed to get up and bravely finish 

their races with heads held high, while 

Dylan Donald, who also crashed, was 

unfortunately unable to finish his race. 

It was an exciting and crazy day, and 

the contestants all knew that this event 

was absolutely crucial for points in the 

second half of the year. As it stands, 

several situations are still in the balance 

and points can still go either way in many 

divisions. It is proving to be one of the 

most exciting years for SA National MX, 

and the final stretch will be a veritable 

nail-biter. 

The next Monster Energy TRP 

Distributors SA MX Nationals will take 

place on 17 September at Holeshot Harrys 

in Harrismith, Free State.

BULWER 

ENDURO 

Halfway through the series, things are heating 

up in the National Enduro Series… 

Pics by Nadine Flanagan 

Round 3 of the Liquorland National Enduro 

Series took place in Bulwer, KZN on Saturday 

14 Aug, providing very close racing which the 

riders seem to have enjoyed. 

At the top of the leader board it was an 

extremely close race between overall winner, 

Wade Young (Sherco) and Travis Teasdale 

(Brother Leader Tread KTM), with close gaps 

between the rest of the top 5 too – Blake Gutzeit 

and team mate Brett Swanepoel (Proudly Bidvest 

Yamaha) and Dwayne Kleynhans (Brother 

Leader Tread KTM). 

Although Teasdale kept the pressure on Young 

all day with less than a minute separating them 

at the end, the Sherco factory rider proved too 

dominant winning and incredible 12 of the 15 

special tests to Teasdale’s 2 and Kleynhans’s 1. 

An excellent come back ride by Blake Gutzeit 

after being out for 6 months with a knee 

injury, saw him put the Yamaha YZ250X on 

the 3rd step of the overall and E2 podium. 

With 72 points Teasdale is lining up the E2

championship, 12 points ahead of Altus de Wet 

with Richie vd Westhuizen on 52 and Young 

47. 

Brett Swanepoel took E1 class honours ahead 

of Dwayne Kleynhans and Kyle Flanagan 

(Sherco) who was delighted with his 6th 

overall. Swanepoel leads the title chase 12 

points clear of Kleynhans and Bouverie (60) 

with Flanagan 2 points back on 58. 

Calvin Hume (KTM) took the win in the 

competitive High School class with Stefan van 

Deventer (KTM) 2nd and Max Jordaan (KTM) 

rounding up the podium. With a perfect 

season so far Hume (75 points) is hoping to 

secure the title but Jordaan (64 points) and van 

Deventer (60 points) are not going to make it 

easy for him. 

Bruce May (Yamaha) took the chequered 

flag in the Senior Pro class with Wynand 

Kleynhans bringing new old blood to the fight 

and beating out William Gillitt for 2nd place. 

Just 5 points separate championship leader 

May (70 points) from 3rd place Gillitt (65 

points), with Kleynhans on 66. 

Hilton Hayward could not claim his 21st 

consecutive Masters victory after he wrong 

slotted and lost too much time, but his trusty 

Proudly Bidvest Yamaha team mate Denzil 

Torlage sealed the deal on another old come 

back rider, Richard Moore (KTM), with 

Sherco’s Justin Broughton having a very good 

ride to take 3rd. Torlage now leads the title 

chase with 69 points to Hayward’s 65 and 

Boughton’s 55. 

Things were just as close in the Silver class 

between Dirk Olivier (Yamaha) and Kirsten 

Landman (Brother Leader Tread KTM), with 

Olivier taking a narrow win just 52 seconds 

ahead. TD Munro put his new KTM in 3rd 

place. Landman has a narrow 2 point lead over

Olivier with Sonwabile Mdodane 12 points 

back on 51. 

The points between the top guys below 

represent seconds... just an indication of how 

competitive this series is.

TECH 

MOTORCYCLE VALVE 

OPERATION 

What valves do and the different types of actuation in motorcycle engines. 

KTM-cylinder-head 

When it comes to combustion cycles in 

four-stroke engines, there are a few things 

that remain constant and one of them is 

the need for valves as they are vital to 

how the combustion cycle works. Though 

most of us have an understanding of 

how the combustion cycle works, simply 

put valves control the flow of air through 

the cylinder head. They allow an air fuel 

mixture in, keep the combustion chamber 

air-tight on compression and combustion 

strokes and allow combusted air out. 

Here’s a recap of the four-stroke cycle: 

firstly, the inlet valve opens and the intake 

of an air-fuel mixture occurs then the 

piston continues an upward stroke in 

the bore to compress the mixture. The 

mixture is then ignited by the spark plug 

to kick off the next downward stroke of 

the piston and on the upward stroke the 

exhaust port opens. This cycle is know 

as intake, compression, combustion and 

exhaust – the four-stroke cycle.

Valves also suffer what is called 

‘float’. At high rpm in particular, valve 

springs struggle to close quickly 

enough. However, at the other end of 

the spectrum greater technology in 

metallurgy has allowed rev ceilings to 

rise, but not as excessively as other valve 

actuation methods. It’s biggest bonus is 

inexpensive cost on a high-production 

volume run and simple maintenance, thus 

a defining factor why it is the most widely 

used actuation method. 

A valve is essentially a flat disc of metal 

on the end of a stem and looks like a 

futuristic dunny plunger. The valve stem 

sits in a valve guide that secures and 

allows the valve stem to move up and 

down smoothly inside the cylinder head. 

The valve disc sits in a valve seat. The 

valve seat is the surface against which an 

intake or an exhaust valve waits during 

the portion of the engine operating cycle 

when that valve is closed. 

The seat is essentially the area that 

controls air flow between combustion 

chamber and inlet or exhaust port as the 

valve opens and shuts. At the top of the 

valve stem is where the valve movement 

is actuated from. Over the years people 

have toyed with many different actuation 

methods and at present there are three 

main types of valve actuation: Pneumatic, 

Desmodromic, and sprung. 

Desmo-head 

Sprung: 

Sprung valves are the most common 

type of valve actuation on motorcycles. 

By either means of a pushrod actuating 

a rocker arm that pushes on the tappet, 

a camshaft in the head that actuates a 

rocker arm or a camshaft lobe directly on 

to the tappet, sprung valves are actuated. 

The compression spring sits directly 

between the inside of the cylinder head, 

above the combustion chamber, and the 

collet (or retainer). 

The distance between the tappet and 

the valves contact surface is referred to 

as clearance. Clearance is moderated in a 

few ways, none more common than screw 

on the rocker arm or by the placement of 

shims between the tappet and camshaft. 

Its drawbacks are few and easily resolved. 

Valve clearances regularly require 

adjustment as stems and guides wear. 

Sprung-head 

Desmodromic: 

Commonly referred to as Desmo, when 

talking about operation method, this 

system employs two mechanical rocker 

arms that grasp the valve stem and is 

motioned by camshaft lobes to move the 

valve up and don – it’s really that simple. 

The biggest benefit of this system is that 

it allows total control of the opening and 

closing of the valves. 

Most famously used by Ducati since 

the 1960s, the Desmodromic valve 

system was said to have been at a 

disadvantage to other systems due to the 

greater weight the mechanically complex 

system required to work but time has 

shown it’s operational value and reliability 

far outweighs this small drawback. 

Pneumatic: 

The pneumatic system employs metal 

bellows filled with compressed air to 

close the valves – replacing valves 

springs in a conventional cylinder head 

set-up. The pneumatic system takes up 

around the same dimensions as a valve 

spring, and the air bellows are much 

lighter and respond more quickly than 

valve springs. 

The biggest disadvantage with a 

pneumatic valve system is its price. Up 

until Suzuki’s use of it in MotoGP nearly 

ten years ago, Renault was the only one 

to use the system and then it was only on 

its F1 cars. The threat of leaking bellows 

causing a valve catastrophe is avoided 

by regular replacement of the bellows. 

It’s not commonly used, but with more 

technology and cheaper costs hopefully 

it will be.
