EDITOR: ROLEY FOLEY<br />
Here’s good joke for December:<br />
A motorcycle police officer stops a driver for shooting through a<br />
red light. The driver is a real chop, steps out of his car and comes<br />
striding toward the officer, demanding to know why he is being<br />
harassed by the Gestapo !<br />
So the officer calmly tells him of the red light violation. The<br />
motorist instantly goes on a tirade, questioning the officer’s<br />
ancestry, sexual orientation, etc., in rather explicit offensive terms.<br />
The tirade goes on and on without the officer saying anything.<br />
When the officer finishes writing the ticket he puts an “AH” in the<br />
lower right corner of the narrative portion of the ticket. He then<br />
hands it to The ‘violator’ for his signature. The guy signs the ticket<br />
angrily, and when presented with his copy points to the “AH” and<br />
demands to know what it stands for. The officer says, “That’s so<br />
when we go to court, I’ll remember that you’re an a**hole !”<br />
Two months later they’re in court. The ‘violator’ has a bad driving<br />
record with a high number of points and is in danger of losing his<br />
license, so he hired a lawyer to represent him. On the stand, the<br />
officer testifies to seeing the man run through the red light. Under<br />
cross-examination, the defence attorney asks;”Officer is this a<br />
reasonable facsimile of the ticket that you issued to my client ?”<br />
The Officer responds, “Yes, sir, that is the defendant’s copy, his<br />
signature and mine, same number at the top.”<br />
Lawyer: “Officer, is there any particular marking or notation on this<br />
ticket you don’t normally make ?”<br />
“Yes, sir, in the lower right corner of the narrative there is an “AH,”<br />
underlined.”<br />
“What does the “AH” stand for, officer?”<br />
“Aggressive and hostile, Sir.”<br />
“Aggressive and hostile?”<br />
“Yes, Sir.”<br />
“Officer, are you sure it doesn’t stand for a**-hole?”<br />
“Well, sir, you know your client better than I do!”<br />
How often can one get an attorney to convict his own client?<br />
Have a Merry Christmas and ride safely wherever you are!<br />

an international rage at the moment:<br />
6 DIRT & TRAIL MAGAZINE DECEMBER 2016<br />
The Royal Enfield Himalayan:<br />
The Himalayan is made by Royal Enfield, and was<br />
recently launched in the Metro Cities of India. The 411<br />
cc engine produces 24.5 BHP (18.02 KW) @ 6500<br />
RPM and 32 Nm of torque @ 4000 - 4500 RPM.<br />
The Himalayan looks like a versatile thumper with<br />
a muffled thump to comply with noise regulations.<br />
Aftermarket exhaust systems are used for the louder<br />
thump, for those who care for it. While the bike gets a<br />
long stroke 411 cc four stroke engine. The engine is<br />
not primarily designed for providing the ‘thump’, but<br />
to perform and do it’s job on the road and off it.<br />
10,000-km oil change interval, which is the highest<br />
on a Royal Enfield motorcycle. Running costs of the<br />
Himalayan promises to be quite low. Priced at 1.55<br />
lakh rupees this bike looks like a bargain.<br />
A 2-month waiting period pan-India means that the<br />
bike is very accessible. This comes as a cherry on top<br />
of the cake, as affordable Royal Enfields are notorious<br />
for having super long waiting times. The Classic 350<br />
used to have 9-month waiting periods. Thankfully, this<br />
is not the case with this adventure tourer.<br />
The bike has some very interesting features. How<br />
about a compass? Yes, a digital compass sits on<br />
the instrument cluster, and so does an ambient<br />
temperature gauge. Other standard features include<br />
hazard lamps and an LED parking light.<br />
Hopefully it will arrive here and we’ll be able to take<br />
one for a spin…<br />

This is a really cute move from Suzuki, taking<br />
the hugely popular V-Strom family styling and<br />
ethos, and blending it with an evolution of their<br />
bulletproof 248cc parallel-twin to create a<br />
funky and fresh economy adventure bike.<br />
Likely to be just as at home on a rough<br />
and muddy country Adventure lane as it is spots bouncing<br />
over kerbs in the urban jungle, this 24.7bhp<br />
addition to the family has a wide breadth of<br />
appeal that could see it get some real traction<br />
in 2017 – no pun intended.<br />

brought to you by<br />
The Kawasaki Versys-X 300<br />
joins small adventure boom:<br />
Kawasaki is the latest to enter the sub-500cc small<br />
adventure bike market with its 300cc version of the<br />
popular Versys all-roader.<br />
It’s a segment clearly identified to grab the<br />
attention of the novice adventure rider.<br />
These bikes might also grab the attention of<br />
those who have struggled with the weight<br />
of heavy adventure bikes, but don’t<br />
want the discomfort of riding down the<br />
highway to the adventure trails on a<br />
dirt bike that shakes and becomes<br />
unstable at 100km/h on tar.<br />
The Kawasaki Versys-X 300 uses the<br />
300cc liquid-cooled parallel twin out<br />
of the ever-popular Ninja 300 but has a<br />
new and more rugged chassis.<br />
Its adventure credentials are also verified by a<br />
19-inch front wheel, dual-purpose IRC Trail Winner<br />
rubber, tall screen, wire spoked wheels and longer<br />
travel suspension.<br />
Up front it’s got 41mm telescopic forks with a Uni-<br />
Trak gas-charged rear monoshock. Suspension<br />
travel figures are not supplied.<br />
It’s no bush basher thoughl, it has a small plastic<br />
bash plate. However, it should cope well with dirt<br />
and gravel roads.<br />
Two Versys options<br />
There will be two options, anyway. The Versys-X<br />
300 Urban is obviously for mostly road with some<br />
roadworks and occasional dirt roads thrown in. It<br />
gets a tank pad, handguards, centrestand and a<br />
30-litre topbox.<br />
The Versys-X 300 Adventure is a little more bush<br />
focussed with a tank pad, tubular engine guard,<br />
centrestand and 17-litre panniers.<br />
It comes standard with a digital/analogue instrument<br />
cluster, slipper clutch, ABS and weighs about 170kg.<br />
Kawasaki claims that, when ridden in eco mode,<br />
the baby Versys will have range of more than<br />
380km which is great for ur long stretches between<br />
fuel stops.<br />
The segment didn’t exist a few months ago and now<br />
we have the Honda 190cc Night Hawk launched at<br />
Intermot last month plus the BMW G 310 GS and<br />
Suzuki V-Strom 250 launched recently. We can also<br />
throw into the mix the Royal Enfield Himalayan.<br />
Hopefully it will arrive here and we’ll be able to take<br />
one for a spin…<br />

NEWS<br />
brought to you by<br />
BMW unveils new G310GS:<br />
Step up BMW’s new G310GS, the second bike<br />
to be released into their G310 family (following<br />
the roadster-shaped R), and one of at least four<br />
quarter-litre(ish) adventure bikes to arrive from major<br />
manufacturers in 2017.<br />
Highlights:<br />
313cc liquid-cooled single<br />
GS family styling<br />
19 in front rim<br />
Long-travel suspension<br />
Full LCD dash<br />
The facts<br />
34bhp<br />
169.5kg<br />
Seat height 835mm<br />
The baby GS might be small in capacity compared<br />
with its well-established stablemates, and the<br />
only GS not to be built in Germany, but BMW’s<br />
commitment to design and build quality looks no<br />
less thorough. The family styling is unmistakable,<br />
with the stubby front beak, radiator shrouds,<br />
headlamp cowl and tank all mini-me reworkings of<br />
the R1200GS’s aesthetic.<br />
While for our market this might look like a cute<br />
styling exercise to pander to our adventure bike<br />
addiction, the truth is probably more that this style<br />
offers BMW the greatest breadth of appeal globally.<br />
We think our roads are bad, but ride in rural India or<br />
Brazil, and you’ll feel spoilt back home – but that’s<br />
exactly the sort of market where BMW hope to sell<br />
their smaller-capacity range by the thousands. We<br />
get the style and attitude we want, those markets<br />
get the long-travel suspension and rugged quality<br />
and simplicity they need.<br />

NEWS<br />
brought to you by<br />
Yamaha’s T7 concept … The<br />
Worlds Maddest MT-07:<br />
If this doesn’t make you feel like putting some<br />
motocross boots on and heading off into the great<br />
unknown, then you’re missing a key strand of your<br />
biking DNA.<br />
While Yamaha are fast to point out that this is just a<br />
concept bike, there’s absolutely no doubt that the<br />
firm will put this XT660 Ténéré replacement into<br />
production, continuing a 33-year line of Dakarinspired<br />
middleweight desert assault bikes.<br />
The facts:<br />
74bhp (est)<br />
180kg (est)<br />
Seat height 895mm (est)<br />
Highlights<br />
CP2 700cc parallel-twin engine<br />
Full-on WR450F Dakar styling<br />
Expected to arrive in 2018<br />
The game moves on dramatically though with this<br />
concept. Packing the MT-07’s CP2 engine into<br />
an all-new chassis, the T7 should dig into the soft<br />
stuff with superb tractability from the parallel-twin<br />
700. Equipped with an aluminium fuel tank, quadprojector<br />
LED headlight, a carbon fairing and skid<br />
plate, and a custom made Akrapovic exhaust – as<br />
well as high specification KYB front suspension, 21in<br />
front and 18in rear – the T7 concept is a serious<br />

It’s a WR450F Dakar for the masses, and while<br />
much of the bling Dakar-aping spec sheet might be<br />
sacrificed for production, the overall effect will remain<br />

Ducati’s crazy new Scrambler<br />
Desert Sled:<br />
Check this out! The Urban Enduro model in the Scrambler family<br />
may have failed to ignite passions with the same verve as the rest<br />
of the range, but this new Desert Sled has got just the right mix of<br />
retro and contemporary to strike a chord with those looking for a<br />
more cheeky Scrambler option.<br />
Highlights<br />
New retro Scrambler model<br />
803cc air-cooled Desmodue L-twin<br />
19” front wheel / 17” rear<br />
The facts<br />
75bhp<br />
207kg<br />
Seat height 860mm<br />
16 DIRT & TRAIL MAGAZINE DECEMBER 2016<br />
It’s certainly the most truly Scrambler-esque iteration in the line-up,<br />
and with its gold rims and oval tank decals it feels almost like a<br />
homage to the iconic Yamaha XT500 – and there’s nothing wrong<br />
with that.<br />
At its core it is, of course, the same platform as the rest of the<br />
range, using the 803cc air-cooled 2-valve head motor mated to a<br />
steel trellis frame and capped off with a nice little steel tank.<br />
Up front it wears a gold laced 19” rim, while the rear gets a<br />
similarly bling 17” rim, and each wears the almost comic-book<br />
styled new Pirelli Scorpion Rally STR rubber. It’s a striking look. To<br />
underline its desert skills, it has bear-claw footpegs with removable<br />
rubber inserts for road comfort, and a fairly high 860mm seat,<br />
while the frame has been reinforced to cope with more aggressive<br />
use and the wide bars get a motocross style brace, too. The fork<br />
is a super-fat fully-adjustable 46 KYB unit, while the rear is a fullyadjustable<br />
KYB monoshock.<br />

BMW R1200GS just got even better:<br />
The R1200GS is enjoying an odd two-stage transition into 2017.<br />
Already available in dealers is an updated GS which boasts a<br />
few visual nips and tucks, as well as drivetrain revisions with<br />
an anti-judder damper on the transmission output drive, and<br />
modifications to the selector drum and transmission shafts. The<br />
bikes have also been made Euro4 compliant.<br />
Now BMW has revealed the full 2017 version with a raft of further<br />
dynamic improvements, plus two new versions to pick from in the<br />
model line-up. A base model is available, as are three package<br />
options (Dynamic, Comfort and Touring), and now you can also<br />
pick between new Rallye or Exclusive models. The existing<br />
R1200GS Adventure continues in 2017, but we don’t expect a full<br />
model update until 2018.<br />
Highlights<br />
Two new factory options<br />
Drive train modifications<br />
Optional next-gen Dynamic ESA<br />
The facts<br />
125bhp<br />
224kg<br />
Seat height 850/870mm<br />
R1200GS Exclusive<br />
The Exclusive model is the road-focused version of the new duo,<br />
aimed at riders who want a GS because it delivers a superb<br />
everyday riding experience, exceptional touring capability, and<br />
has the versatility to go anywhere when the road (or lack of<br />
one) demands. It’s also aimed at riders who want all the GS<br />
sophistication without being too shouty in terms of colours, or<br />
Action Man add-ons that hint at global travel pretentions.<br />
At the core of this subtle approach is the ‘Iced Chocolate metallic’<br />
paintjob. The fuel tank side trim panels are finished in ‘Monolith<br />
metallic matt’ and also feature bold R1200GS decals on each<br />
side. The frame is powder-coated in Agate Grey metallic matt,<br />
while the drivetrain is all finished in black, with gold-coloured brake<br />
calipers providing a flash of contrast.<br />

Ducati reveals the<br />
Scrambler Café Racer:<br />
There should be laws about having<br />
number boards on bikes. Get your magic<br />
eraser out, and this new Café Racer looks<br />
so much better without them. The 54 is<br />
a nod to legendary Ducati racer Bruno<br />
Spaggiari, but that’s going to be rather lost<br />
on the average buyer.<br />
The Café Racer, just like the Desert Sled,<br />
is a new addition to the family for 2017,<br />
and is intended to do exactly what it says<br />
on the tin. Much of it is very nice, too –<br />
and in black and gold (or ‘Black Coffee’ as<br />
Ducati dub it), it’s also little redolent of the<br />
JPS era of sportsbikes.<br />

It appears, in essence to be a Full Throttle<br />

lovely Termignoni exhaust with black<br />

the original Monster family rear-end. The<br />

New Generation Tuff jugs From HRP:<br />
In racing, every second counts. Refueling of your bike can win or lose your<br />
championship. Tuff Jug has taken the time to develop a simple yet, in our<br />
opinion, genius fuelling system. There is no rocket science just a bit of<br />
common sense. Having upgraded their previous Tuff Jug they have made<br />
the fuel filling process slicker and easier to use. The days of over flowing<br />
petrol and spilling all over your nether regions are over. The new tuff Jugs<br />
come in 2 sizes, a manageable 10L and a buffer 20L.<br />
The jug includes a new race filler cap for your bike or a hose. The cap<br />
comes complete with a quick release attachment on top of the jug, same<br />
as the old system but this time, no overflowing.<br />
The other option is a hose. A simpler option with a hose at the end of the<br />
jug giving you some flexibility if the<br />
jug is a tad heavy for the smaller (rear<br />
less muscled) riders. The jugs are<br />
now transparent allowing you to see<br />
the level with<br />
ease.<br />

New S&B filters for Side by<br />
Sides at Ravens Racing:<br />
Remove 94% of dust before it reaches your stock<br />
filter…. Fits all side by sides…<br />
The same technology military helicopters use to<br />
maintain power in extremely dusty conditions is now<br />
available for your UTV. S&B’s Particle Separator ejects<br />
94% of dust from the airflow prior to it reaching the<br />
stock filter. Military-grade air filtration. Military helicopters<br />
use particle separators to land in conditions with<br />
extreme dust like Afghanistan and Iraq. Without it, their<br />
filters would clog which could cause a catastrophic<br />
situation.<br />
S&B has applied this same technology to UTVs, so that<br />
you can conquer extreme conditions while maintaining<br />
power and protecting your engine.<br />
How it works:<br />
Dirty air enters the Particle Separator’s 19 vortexes.<br />
The air is spun as it enters the vortex. Centrifugal<br />
force throws the dust against the outer sides of the<br />
tube where it exits through a rear slot. The clean air<br />
continues forward through the tube which is centred<br />
inside the vortex. The clean air is directed to your<br />
stock air filter while the scavenge fan ejects the dust<br />
through the exhaust. The Scavenge Fan draws only 3.1<br />
amps and is specially rated for 50,000 hours in harsh<br />
conditions including water, dust & snow. The Particle<br />
Separator’s versatile billet clamps allow it to be installed<br />
on either the upper or lower roll bars of your UTV and<br />
accommodates most roof configurations.<br />
Available and installed at Ravens Racing. 1253 Grobler<br />

Beta Back in Racing:<br />
Beta is going places in the Enduro world. They have got<br />
people talking and they are starting to regain their place<br />
in the off-road market. Imported by Cayenne Sport,<br />
Beta is spreading far and wide and have entered the<br />
market in Bloemfontein, Pietermaritzburg as well as the<br />
greater Gauteng region, with wide dealer support. Beta<br />
Motor South Africa has teamed up with KS Enduro from<br />
Pietermaritzburg and started their own sponsored race<br />
team, with Liqui-Moly and Michelin stepping up support.<br />
The Beta Racing Team consists of two young and very<br />
enthusiastic enduro riders who are definitely worth taking<br />
a closer look at. These two riders have been sponsored<br />
two new 250 Factory RR 2-strokes and they are planning<br />
on taking on some mammoth challenges in the race<br />
season ahead.<br />
We had a chance to catch up with these two lads and find<br />
out a bit more about who is going to be racing for Beta.<br />
Eighteen year old Oliver Santoro from Pietermaritzburg<br />
College has been riding from the tender age of 4 when his<br />
dad got him his first motorbike and has been addicted ever<br />
since. Not only is Oliver an avid motorcyclist but also an<br />
avid sportsman, which made him take a break from riding<br />
in his earlier schooling career to compete within school<br />
sporting commitments. Oliver also spends his time when<br />
he is off the bike hunting and fishing.<br />
He is aspires to become a commercial pilot when he<br />
completes his matric exams later this year. With this goal<br />
in mind Oliver’s next couple of years is going to be jam<br />
packed with studying and taking himself and his Beta<br />
further in the racing arena.<br />
Oliver has already got some serious feathers in his cap<br />
when it comes to racing, 2014 was a big year for Oliver<br />
when he finished 22nd in the Silver class of the Roof of<br />
Africa and placed 3rd in the regional junior championships,<br />
not too shabby for a 16 year old. 2015 was an even bigger<br />
year for him when he placed 3rd for a second time at<br />
regional junior championships and blew the competition<br />
out the water when he placed 2nd in the silver class of the<br />
Roof of Africa.<br />
Oliver has set his goals high for 2016 . He is striving for a<br />
top 20 finish in the gold class at the Roof of Africa, which<br />
for all who know the Roof of Africa this is no easy feat.<br />
Oliver is really enthusiastic about the Beta brand and hopes<br />
to promote as much as he can. He is also very impressed<br />
with his 250 Factory RR and says the bike has more than<br />
enough power, is very smooth and handles very well and<br />
says ” should be riding them, they are really great!”<br />
Jason Munro from Pietermaritzburg is a Thirty year old<br />
who is absolutely passionate about motorcycling and has<br />
been on, and off, motorcycles for 26 years. He is all about<br />
motorcycling, he lives, breathes, sleeps motorcycles. His<br />
first motorcycle was purchased for him by his dad before<br />
he was born. Jason started early and began riding at age<br />
4. He rode throughout his schooling years in Ladysmith<br />
and continued with it and ended up going into the<br />
motorcycling industry. Jason has a few special riding spots<br />
but his all – time favourite is in the Drakensberg, where he<br />
24 DIRT & TRAIL MAGAZINE DECEMBER 2016<br />
can ride the big rocky hills.<br />
Jasons’ riding career has seen him achieve some great<br />
things. He has taken part in and placed well in the Roof of<br />
Africa Gold division, achieving 21st position in 2015. He<br />
was awarded his Kwa-Zulu Natal colours for Motocross<br />
and Harescrambles. 2012 and 2013 were also great<br />
seasons for Jason in the Motard Championships. Jason<br />
was able to win both South African National events.<br />
In the upcoming season Jason plans on racing in all the<br />
WFO Natal Regional Competitions as well as the Powasol<br />
Extreme Enduro events. The Roof of Africa 2017 is another<br />
goal and he wants to better his position from previous<br />
years. He also wants to see himself riding the Sea to Sky in<br />
Turkey next year. Throughout the upcoming season Jason<br />
aims to finish races constantly and in top positions and<br />
he feels that being on a Beta he can do this. His personal<br />
thoughts on the Beta is that “The Beta 250 RR 2T is just<br />
magic. The suspension is absolutely awesome and the<br />
power of the motor gives such a nice smooth power<br />
delivery, it also tracks beautifully through the loose rocks.”<br />
Great to see this brand up and about again. If you would<br />

Batt T-Sure tyre insurance:<br />
Batt Holdings -the first company in the world to<br />
offer insurance for on - and off-road tyres...<br />
As riders, we’re aware the that the biggest problem<br />
with off-road bikes is the risk of a side wall tear<br />
on a tyre, which typically renders the tyre useless<br />
regardless of whether it’s done 1km or 500km. Highimpact<br />
hits against rocks can also cause irreparable<br />
damage, especially if the tyre then pinches and forms<br />
a blister. Both occurrences spell disaster, particularly<br />
for riders on a budget.<br />
the good news is that Batt tyres’ boss, Bruce de<br />
Kock has just introduced an insurance policy for<br />
riders that covers costly tyres. Called Batt-T Sure, this<br />
one-of-a-kind policy gives you the chance to protect<br />
your rubber against damage caused on urban roads<br />
(think potholes and road works), adventure trails and<br />
even endurance-pro type terrain!<br />
Batt T-Sure allows you to claim for the cost of<br />
replacing damaged tyre/s fitted to motorbikes, quad<br />
bikes, ATV or side x sides, up to the maximum cover<br />
limits selected. Protection is provided for accidental<br />
damage caused by harsh braking, cuts, bursts and<br />
road inequalities. Bubbles on tyres, which result from<br />
pot holes, are also covered, however race tyres and<br />
racing tyre cover is excluded.<br />
Insurance is taken out per tyre, so it’s possible to only<br />
insure the rear or the front, for example. Policies are<br />
valid for 12 months; they’re administered by X’S Sure<br />
FSP No-21101 and are underwritten by Guard Risk.<br />
For pricing and incident limits, call 086 001 8140.<br />
Lets get Joey to Dakar:<br />
With less than a month to go... Joey Evans is still<br />
hunting for funds to help with his attempt on Dakar...<br />
We featured this very likeable unassuming rider a few<br />
months ago and have subsequently got to know him a<br />
bit better. Joey brke his back a few years ago and was<br />
told that he’d be a paraplegic. He is now off to Dakar<br />
to race this fantastic event. His Indomitable spirit really<br />
is an inspiration. if you are looking to “back a good<br />
horse”, see what you can do...<br />
Everyone who makes a contribution to Joeys Dakar<br />
fund will have their name on the bodywork of his KTM<br />
450 Rally bike. Joey will keep us all updated with ongoing<br />
supporters newsletters. Any excess funding will<br />
go to supporting victims of spinal trauma.<br />
or just buy one of these cool goodies - it all goes into<br />
the kitty!!<br />

TRAVIS TEASDALE’S<br />
Roof Bike<br />
KTM has made their 250 XCW even more user<br />
friendly for 2017. Travis Teasdales Roof bike,<br />
looking all racey in his new livery was on it’s<br />
way to him when we hijacked the deliverer and<br />
diverted him to our li’l test track much to the KTM<br />
Mechanics lack of humour. The last time that we<br />
rode one of these was at the launch… we figured a<br />
second ride was in order…<br />
We have to say at the start that the bike was bog<br />
standard. Trav fits his own cone valves and the bike was<br />
actually on its way for testing and setup two weeks before<br />
The Roof. What we’ll do is ride it after the race to see what<br />
improvements have been made.<br />
It was quite funny – when we headed out onto the track<br />
a group of youngsters arrived to watch – we are pretty<br />
convinced that they thought that we were Mr Teasdale.<br />
When our lids came off, they realised the blunder and<br />
disappeared…<br />
If you think that you need a 300 to race technical enduro,<br />
you can think again. Travis is a big boy… and his weapon of<br />
choice is the new 250.<br />
This one is plenty strong enough for most…<br />
The new 2-stroke engine is very crisp and responsive,<br />
providing lots of smooth torque and a very linear power<br />
curve and revs out strongly. Gone are the days of the wild<br />
ride that the old 250 2-strokes delivered, KTM is focussed<br />
on rock climbing lightness and easy torque.<br />
At a claimed weight of just 100 kg’s (without fuel) the new<br />
250 is really light, and offers superb quick and agile handling<br />
combined with usable and controllable power. It’s not at<br />
all peaky and with the new power-valve design there is<br />
excellent low-rpm torque available.<br />
This is a real enduro weapon and flinging over every<br />
obstacle we could find, you have to admire this orange<br />
company.<br />
We look forward to seeing the bike at the Motul Roof Of<br />
Africa, let’s see how the 250’s fare against the bigger 300’s.<br />
See you at the Roof<br />

Farewell Syringa<br />
S t o r y C l i v e S t r u g n e l l / P i c s c o u r t e s y Z e n B i r k b y , I a n M c l a r e n a n d l o t s o f f r i e n d s …<br />
Syringa has a special place in the hearts<br />
of thousands of motocross riders and<br />
fans. It’s one of those places which just<br />
seemed to have a life of its’ own. In many<br />
ways Syringa was a lot like Kyalami. It<br />
was the home of off-road racing since the<br />
early sixties. In the beginning cars and<br />
bikes both raced there, and it was always<br />
an exciting place to be. The early race<br />
cars, like Ken Gillibrand’s “Soggy Mango”<br />
and John Smith’s famous “Baja Bug”<br />
were legends.<br />
The late Steve Swanepoel, well known<br />
as “Suzukiman” also raced there in a<br />
VW racing beach buggy long before he<br />
became well-known in the motorcycle<br />
industry.<br />
The founder of Syringa Spa, as it was<br />
known then, Jannie Stander, was a South<br />
African motorcycle road racing champion.<br />
More significantly he was Johannesburg’s<br />
second Yamaha dealer. His shop was<br />
called “Racing Motors” and Jannie was<br />
instrumental in launching the careers of<br />
many famous road racers, many of whom<br />
became SA champions themselves. One<br />
of the best known was Tommy Johns,<br />
an appy in Jannie’s shop. Jannie put him<br />
on an early 250 Yamaha racebike, and<br />
despite not even having a motorcycle<br />
license, Tommy ruled the racetrack at the<br />
time, and then went on to become even<br />
more famous as Yamaha South Africa’s<br />
technical manager.<br />
When Yamaha off-road bikes, and in<br />
particular their MX race bikes arrived<br />
on the scene Jannie knew that racing<br />
was the best way to promote them and<br />
soon his off road race track was home<br />
to not only to local MX races, but to<br />
national and even international events..<br />
In the off road community Syringa was<br />
definitely as important and as famous as<br />
Kyalami. Jannie climbed in boots and all,<br />
and even sat on the National Motocross<br />
Committee.<br />
Grant Maben, one of the 1970’s<br />
South African MX superstars, put into<br />
words the essence of what Syringa was<br />
back in those day when Dave Petersen<br />
interviewed him at Syringa’s last event:<br />
Grant said “ Syringa wasn’t just<br />
for the riders, it was for all of us”. He<br />
was referring to a whole generation<br />
of youngsters growing up in that era.<br />
“Syringa was the place we all learned<br />
who we were, and where we grew up. It<br />
was the place where we raced hard and<br />
played hard, where we learned to live and<br />
love. We weren’t out on the streets and in<br />
the clubs, we were racing. And it wasn’t<br />
only motocross…from this place we<br />
made our plans to ride in events like the<br />
Roof of Africa. We met riders from all over<br />
the world, and from there our dreams<br />
of racing internationally also grew. Look<br />
how many of our World Champions and<br />
famous riders learned their skills here.<br />
There will never be another place quite<br />
like Syringa” Such heartfelt words<br />
indeed, and who better to say them than<br />
Grant Maben. Even though his racing<br />
career was cut short by a tragic road<br />
accident, he is still the inspiration for<br />
many, many of our best riders.<br />
After Jannie senior passed on, Syringa<br />
remained in the family, and most recently<br />
was revived and renewed under the<br />
curatorship of his son, Jannie Jnr. The<br />
track itself was redone, most recently<br />
managed by Grant Foley to an astonishing<br />
standard, and was the favourite of another<br />
new generation riders and fans. By now<br />
everyone knows the events leading to the<br />
decision of the Stander family to sell the<br />
property and <strong>final</strong>ly say good bye to the<br />
famous MX track.<br />
A blast from the past... some very famous old faces...<br />

However before it closed classic MX enthusiast<br />
Gareth Ireland got together with a huge number<br />
of people who had enjoyed racing and visiting<br />
Syringa over the years, and with the blessing of<br />
the Stander family arranged one last Hurrah as<br />
a tribute to everything that Syringa stood for, and<br />
as a thank you to a great motorcycling family.<br />
Maureen Stobbart, Jannies daughter and sister<br />
of Jannie jnr was there, with her mother, on this<br />
farewell day, and said it was really a bittersweet<br />
event, and as sad as she was to <strong>final</strong>ly say<br />
goodbye to the property and its’ famous track,<br />
the time has come for the Stander family to move<br />
on. She was clearly very moved by the many<br />
famous and not so famous past riders and fans<br />
who turned up for the last event.<br />
Gareth and his team put on a great show, with<br />
races for old riders on new bikes, old and much<br />
younger riders on some brilliantly restored old<br />
machinery, and of course many competitors from<br />
the past just turned up to enjoy the day and talk<br />
about old times. Of course, as with any bench<br />
racing session, as the day wore on the stories<br />
became more dramatic and ever faster!<br />
One of the highlights was watching Russell<br />
Campbell, who started racing as a junior on a<br />
100 or 125 at Syringa and ending as a multi time<br />
SA Champion on a 500, hurtling around the track<br />
just as fast as ever on a modern Beta enduro<br />
bike as well as his original early 80’s 500 Maico<br />
MX bike. Also out on the track was Kenny van<br />
der Merwe, a 125 Junior champion back in the<br />
late seventies. Of course not every rider can be a<br />
champion, but there have been many great riders<br />
who made the racing what it was back then,<br />
and were famous characters in their own right.<br />
One of these is Mike “Nuts”Pienaar, who always<br />
raced Husqvarnas, out on track with the bike he<br />

Main Road 13, Centurion Gate Business Park,<br />
John Vorster Dr & Akkerboom Street, Centurion,
last rode here in about 1979. There he<br />
was, just as we always remembered him,<br />
glasses perched on the end of his nose<br />
together with a bit of duct tape, plakking<br />
his home made numbers on the side<br />
of his faithful 460 Husky with tape out<br />
of the boot of his car, and then giving it<br />
his all out on the track. Best of all, he is<br />
still fast, and came home second in his<br />
group. Well done Nutty, it isn’t always the<br />
superstars that make the show!<br />
Everywhere one went on the day<br />
there were groups of past MX riders,<br />
officials and fans. Roger McLeery, one<br />
of the unsung heroes of South African<br />
motorcycle sport, right from his early<br />
days as a staff member of Midmacor,<br />
who imported Honda’s. Roger was the<br />
man who saw the value of racing to<br />
sell bikes, and relentlessly persuaded<br />
his management to sponsor riders and<br />
events to promote Honda. He also<br />
became a motorcycle sport administrator,<br />
and kept two wheeled racing on the<br />
go. Past riders like Mark and Chris<br />
Davies, Grant Maben, Dave and Robbie<br />
Petersen, Greg Upton, Alan Smith, Buddy<br />
Ellis, Kevin Korkie, Wayne Smith, Greg<br />
Wilson, Kenny van der Merwe, Deon<br />
Du Plessis, Chris Brand, Vic Miles, Rob<br />
Panter, Grant McLeery, Robert Campbell,<br />
Nuts Pienaar, Jeff Hubbard, Dannie<br />
Mulder, Adrian Bac and so many more.<br />
One very welcome face was America<br />
Mx champion and factory rider Larry<br />
Wosick, who raced here in the early 80’s<br />
and happened to be in SA on a visit.<br />
Sadly none of the importers, who rely on<br />
enthusiasts, the circuits and the people<br />
who promote off road racing and riding<br />
were there in official capacity.<br />
Even the weather played its’ part, with<br />
a huge thunderstorm and cloudburst<br />
which turned Syringa into a mudbath<br />
reminiscent of the early races where the<br />
track was watered as much as possible<br />
and riders became unrecognisable mud<br />
monsters after a lap or two!<br />
One of the very nice parts of this<br />
<strong>final</strong> Syringa day was the time many<br />
of the past heroes spent talking to the<br />
enthusiasts who have so proudly restored<br />
old race bikes. It is fantastic to see how<br />
these guys had recreated a golden era<br />
of our sport and keep it alive through the<br />
many well attended vintage and classic<br />
MX events around the country.<br />
So now all that is left of Syringa are a<br />
lot of fantastic memories, but the best<br />
part is that this famous place and the<br />
hundreds of riders who competed there<br />
laid a foundation for the sport which<br />
is still very strong, and busy building<br />
legends and memories for many future<br />
generations.<br />
Cheers Syringa. Thank you for the<br />
great days….<br />

CROSSING<br />
OVER…<br />
TO THE<br />
RIDE SIDE<br />
LEARNING HOW TO RIDE AT RSR<br />
I am a forty something year old mother of 2 teenagers<br />
and have been with Zenon for the last 8 years. In this time I<br />
have been the mom and wife who packs the snacks, runs<br />
around filling jerry cans and washing mx gear, cleaning<br />
helmets and boots, powdering leathers, attending both<br />
race days and outrides, but have always been the just the<br />
spectator or pit crew to my husband and son.<br />
Even though I am a hectic #99 fan and absolutely love<br />
MotoGP and Moto 3, I have never really felt the want or<br />
need to ride a bike, but both my husband and son have<br />
egged me on to try learn, this I am sure was all done in<br />
the hope that I would be bitten by the bug and give in to<br />
buying a bike.<br />
So I eventually agreed to give it a try, but made hubby<br />
promise that he would be nowhere in sight when I was<br />
in training (just in case I was absolutely useless). My<br />
daughter Siobhan Bowen also attended the training as she<br />
had only ever ridden a pee wee 50 and was also very keen<br />
to learn so that she could ride with the boys.<br />
We arrived at Redstar Raceway at 08h30am. It was a<br />
very chilly overcast morning, and I was almost praying that<br />
they would cancel the training. Alas – Aunty Sue was ready<br />
for us and we filled in the necessary registration forms.<br />
We were then invited in to the rider briefing hall, where<br />
all the guys who were riding on the track that day, were<br />
addressed by Jacques (the owner of the facility). The<br />
riders briefing was very in detail and I noticed that there was<br />
a lot of emphasis on paying attention to the flags. I glanced<br />
across at the poster on the wall and thought “how the heck<br />
am I going to remember all of this?”. Jacques was very cool<br />
and welcomed all the lady riders who were there to learn<br />
and assured us that we would be well taken care of.<br />
We were guided through to a classroom and we were<br />
introduced to Davian Barnard and Ruan van Wyngaard,<br />
our instructors for the day.<br />
Davian was thorough and worked through a<br />
comprehensive presentation which dealt with important<br />
information such as what the correct gear is to wear when<br />
riding, the importance of paying close attention to what<br />
both he and Ruan were saying, keeping well hydrated, but<br />
mostly that we were there to learn and have fun.<br />
Good Luck I thought…..I have NEVER ridden a bike -<br />
you guys are going to spend your afternoon either pulling<br />
your hair out, or loading me in the ambulance!<br />
So after we had completed the classroom coaching,<br />
we were taken outside and were told to get onto the<br />
36 DIRT & TRAIL MAGAZINE DECEMBER 2016
stationary Honda motorcycles. Here we<br />
were taught how to pull off (which I must<br />
admit I managed to do without stalling),<br />
how to work the clutch, change gears<br />
and braking. Both Ruan and Davian<br />
were extremely patient with all the ladies,<br />
taking time to work with each one of us<br />
and spend extra time with anyone who<br />
seemed to be battling. Siobhan seemed<br />
to be a little throttle happy, but Davian<br />
calmed her down and spent a little extra<br />
time with her ensuring that she was<br />
getting the balance correct.<br />
Cool I thought – there we go. We’re<br />
almost done. No. We weren’t! We were<br />
then instructed to gear up – boots, gloves<br />
and helmets ladies. Sadly I have rather<br />
large calves and didn’t have the proper<br />
bike boots. No problem for the guys, Ruan<br />
kindly gave me his first pair of boots which<br />
he said were lucky (thank goodness), and<br />
Davian then proceeded to duct tape the<br />
boots to my legs, but have the correct safety<br />
equipment I would! We then hopped onto<br />
what looked like a carnival type roundabout<br />
with the bikes securely fastened to a very<br />
intimidating looking steel bar. Ruan came<br />
over to help me, and I was extremely<br />
impressed to see how this young man kept<br />
his cool and patience with me, as my non<br />
stalling in the first session went on to flying<br />
around the roundabout and stalling the bike<br />
over and over and over. It was really fast,<br />
and really scary. But Ruan ran by my side<br />
the whole time, reassuring me that I was<br />
doing well and that I was getting the hang of<br />
it. A good 15-20 minutes later, I looked over<br />
for Ruan and he had left me alone to work<br />
with Siobhan, and I had not even realized<br />
that I was in fact riding on my own, well<br />
riding with a safety pole, but riding on my<br />
own nonetheless.<br />
Davian and Ruan then advised that it<br />
was time for us to hydrate, and head off<br />
onto our next task. I hadn’t seen any other<br />
bike contraptions in the area where we<br />
were training so I was a little confused.<br />
We were led into a field, with grass, and<br />
fencing, and nothing…..but 4 Honda 125<br />
motocross bikes. Oh crap I thought – they<br />
are kidding, right? But no – they were not.<br />
We were guided onto these bikes and were<br />
given instruction again to put into practice<br />
what we had learnt on the stationery and<br />
roundabout bikes. I could almost not<br />
believe my own eyes when Siobhan simply<br />
glided off on her bike. I can’t do this, I<br />
can’t do this, I thought. I panicked. Davian<br />
came over to me, calmed me down, and<br />
jumped on the bike with me. He slowly<br />
and clearly went through all the processes<br />
again, taking his time to ensure that I was<br />
ok before he let me attempt<br />
to take off into the sunset…<br />
Before I knew it I was riding<br />
around the grassy area like<br />
someone who had simply<br />
forgotten how to ride a<br />
bicycle, not perfectly as<br />
changing gears was still a<br />
little tricky, but I slowly got<br />
the hang of it, and at one<br />
point Davian gave both<br />
Siobhan and I the signal to<br />
slow down. Good Grief – was<br />
I really doing this?<br />
Lunch break – and off<br />
to the Redstar Canteen we<br />
went to have a bite to eat, but<br />
more importantly to hydrate.<br />
I didn’t realize how quickly<br />
you overheat when riding a<br />
bike, and couldn’t believe how<br />
much water Siobhan and I<br />
actually needed.<br />
After lunch, we were taken<br />
onto the track - I mean really,<br />
I have watched the likes of<br />
Sheridan Morais, Brad Binder<br />
and Rob Portman himself<br />
riding on this track! I was<br />
properly petrified! Siobhan on<br />
the other hand was pumped<br />
- and rearing to go! Before<br />
I knew it, Davian was kitted<br />
up, and sitting alongside<br />
us, while we waited for the<br />
green flag. Ruan was at<br />
hand to make sure that<br />
we all pulled off safely. And off we went –<br />
riding on the track –at Redstar Raceway! I<br />
had to concentrate really hard and remind<br />
myself of what I had been taught in class<br />
about Zones 1, 2 & 3. I remained in the<br />
instructor’s line and found myself gaining<br />
more confidence as I rode. I had to check<br />
myself once or twice as I imagined that this<br />
was almost what Jorge Lorenzo felt like<br />
during a race – ok maybe not as slow, but<br />
I was being given an insight to what the<br />
racing guys felt. “Calm yourself woman” I<br />
keep saying, and enjoy every moment. It<br />
was somewhat exhilarating as we came<br />
riding down the straight and under the<br />
legendary Redstar Bridge.<br />
All too soon it was time to exit the track<br />
and into the pits. It was an adrenaline rush<br />
of serious note, and probably best that<br />
they took us off at that moment or none<br />
of us would have wanted to exit the track<br />
for the rest of the day. Davian then took<br />
us down to the skid pan, for us to learn<br />
how to gently maneuver turns and how<br />
to enter and exit “the track”. It was really<br />
a smaller area than the track that we had<br />
ridden on, but I found it very informative<br />
as you really needed to concentrate on<br />
your gears and how you controlled the<br />
bike. Davian called the ladies together, and<br />
congratulated us on being a great team.<br />
I was super impressed with Siobhan who<br />
took to the riding like a duck to water. I was<br />
not worried about her at all throughout the<br />
training because of our super instructors!<br />
We made our way back to the training<br />
center where we were met by Sue Cronje,<br />
who also congratulated us and handed us<br />
our certificates. Wow – we had done it! We<br />
had learnt to ride a motorcycle!<br />
I can only say that any Moms or wives<br />
sitting out there reading this article, need to<br />
get off your bums and go do this training!!!<br />
You won’t have to be the one watching<br />
from the sidelines or being just your hubby’s<br />
brolly dolly anymore – I know I certainly<br />
won’t! Hmmmmm, I wonder what bikes will<br />
be available for my birthday & Christmas<br />
this year? And will the track be open……..?<br />

MESSAGE FROM<br />
THE ORGANISERS<br />
We are just one year short of the 50th Roof of Africa.<br />
The first Roof started in 1967, and next year we are<br />
planning some celebratory events but more of that later<br />
– let’s talk about 2016.<br />
We are delighted to have Motul on board as a title<br />
sponsor for the Motul Roof of Africa. As part of the deal<br />
Motul has taken over the whole PR and Media co-ordination<br />
of the event – something which was really<br />
lacking from our side. As part of this they are bringing<br />
at least four journalists from overseas to help put the<br />
Roof on the world map as well as co-ordinating the local<br />
press.<br />
Last mention is the competitors and this year sees one<br />
of the strongest ever international fields. It is just great<br />
having the international stars here but it is also fantastic<br />
to see our local South African riders giving them<br />
a run for their money. Lesotho terrain has given the<br />
South Africans the experience necessary to compete<br />
against the world’s best and it will be interesting to see<br />
who has the upper hand this year.<br />
Whilst we talk about the top competitors, it is also fitting<br />
to mention the rest of the competitors that are the backbone<br />
of Africa’s biggest Motorsport event. For every<br />
competitor the Roof of Africa is a personal challenge,<br />
whether you are in Gold, Silver or Bronze class and<br />
we salute all of you for the sacrifice you have made to<br />
be part of this event. Remember that just to challenge<br />
the Roof of Africa is an achievement and whether you<br />
finish or not we know you have given of your best and<br />
you can be proud of yourself. You are all winners!

STORY<br />
Why are you participating in the 2016 Motul Roof of Africa?<br />
The Motul Roof of Africa has always been a highlight on my racing<br />
calendar, and since I’ve won the Motul Roof of Africa twice, I always look<br />
forward to the challenge.<br />
WADE<br />
YOUNG<br />
SA home-grown hard enduro champion Wade Young, made<br />
history in 2012 by taking 1st position as the youngest winner<br />
ever- being only 16 at the time - at the gruelling Roof of Africa<br />
Enduro in Lesotho. Young then went on to take another first<br />
in 2014 and placed second in 2015. The determined 20 year<br />
old, who hails from Kwazulu-Natal in SA has entered again this<br />
year, despite being plagued with an injury from a recent race.<br />

What class are you in for this year’s Motul Roof of Africa?<br />
I’m participating in the gold class.<br />
How many times have you participated in the Motul Roof of Africa?<br />
I’ve completed the Motul Roof of Africa three times. I’ve won it twice and<br />
came 2nd once. This will be my 4th Roof.<br />
You recently suffered from quite an injury. How has this effect your<br />
race preparations?<br />
The injury has been a major setback and has severely affected my<br />
preparations for the up-coming race as I will only have the opportunity<br />
to get back onto my bike a few days before the race. I’ve been doing a<br />
lot of cycling and gym to help me restore my core strength in time for the<br />
2016 Motul Roof of Africa.<br />
Which team do you ride for?<br />
I ride for the Red Bull team.<br />
What can the spectators expect from you?<br />
I’m really looking forward to getting back onto my bike, despite my<br />
recent injury, where I injured my wrist, elbow and tore several ligaments<br />
in my middle finger and right hand. My goal this year is to make one of<br />
the podium positions. I plan to make the most of this year’s Roof and<br />
give it all I’ve got.<br />
OF THE MORE THAN 400 RIDERS from all over the world<br />
who will fight for the title of Motul Roof of Africa 2016, only one<br />
will be flying the Lesotho flag high. Joseph Motenane first tested<br />
the Motul Roof in 2012, riding his first Kawasaki KDX 200 bike.<br />
“I bought the bike for social riding, I never dreamt that I would<br />
take part in any kind of race, including the Motul Roof of Africa,”<br />
says Motenane. He however discovered his passion after<br />
joining Team Lesotho Riders, and experienced Hard Enduro for<br />
the first time in 2013. “I developed a passion riding in the mountains<br />
of Lesotho,” he said.<br />
When he is not navigating his way out of the Maluti Mountains,<br />
Joseph Motenane works as an electrician specialist for the<br />
Matekane Group of Companies at Letseng Diamond mine.<br />
Through our mission to attract local riders, The Motul Roof of<br />
Africa offers free entry to Basotho riders, and this year Joseph<br />
Motenane has taken the opportunity to rise through the ranks, in<br />
a bid to ensure that one day the title remains at home.<br />
Why are you participating in the Motul Roof of Africa?<br />
I want to put Lesotho’s name on the map and I want to<br />
encourage the youth of Lesotho to take up hard enduro as a<br />
sport.<br />
What class are you in for this year’s Motul Roof of Africa?<br />
I will be participating in the Bronze class<br />
How many times have you participated in the Motul Roof<br />
of Africa?<br />
I’ve participated in the Motul Roof of Africa twice. Last year I<br />
was ranked 55 out of 205 riders in the bronze class<br />

RACING IN GOLD CLASS THIS YEAR AND MAKING<br />
HISTORY!<br />
Kirsten Landman is no stranger to the world of hard enduro and<br />
is currently the top South African female rider. Kirsten’s passion<br />
for racing started when she was just eight years old and has had<br />
tremendous success since she joined the Brother Leader Tread<br />
KTM Factory Team.<br />
Some of Kirsten’s accomplishments include finishing the<br />
Bronze class at the Roof of Africa in 2012 and coming third at<br />
the National off-road Championship in the ladies’ class in 2013.<br />
Kirsten will become the first female in the history of the Roof<br />
competing in the gold class and will be the only lady competing<br />
in gold this year.<br />
Kirsten strives continually to inspire young women. “If you have<br />
a passion, you can do anything you put your mind to, anything<br />
is possible if you love what you do.” Said Kirsten.<br />
The Johannesburg based champion is not intimidated by the<br />
male dominated sport and recently said in an interview, “The<br />
fact that I’m a female competing against men pushes me to do<br />
better and give it all I’ve got.<br />
“I WANT TO BEAT THE BOYS!”<br />

DEFENDING HIS ROOF TITLE WITH ALL HE HAS!<br />
With all eyes this year on the 41 year old Husqvarna rider who won his first trail race at the tender age of 10, Jarvis has<br />
proven time and time again that certainly is the rider to beat at this year’s Motul Roof of Africa! Having won the Roof in<br />
2011, 2013 and 2015 Jarvis is back this year and going for another win.<br />
Just a few of his impressive achievements include winning the British Trials Champion five times and the Scottish Six Day<br />
Trial four times. Jarvis is also the only enduro rider to have won the infamous Scott Trial 9 times, more than anyone else<br />
in its 100-year history. Jarvis is out to defend his Roof of Africa title with all he has this year! Keep a keen look out for the<br />
British rider on the hills of Lesotho.

We work with Ministries of Health,<br />
International and African nongovernmental<br />

Are also back with us in a big way this<br />
year and are bringing the Red Bull Media<br />
House 17 man strong team from Europe<br />
and America to bring you some amazing<br />
footage on Red Bull TV. This is due to<br />
the Roof of Africa being included as part<br />
of the Red Bull Hard Enduro series – the<br />
Roof taking its rightful place among the<br />
world’s top iconic Hard Enduro events.<br />
Maluti Sky<br />
Is our Proudly Basotho Airline and they<br />
make the filming of this event possible<br />
with their helicopter fleet. Maluti Sky is<br />
an airline going places and has recently<br />
opened a daily scheduled flight to<br />
Johannesburg and return with other<br />
scheduled flights planned for the future.<br />

Has been with the Roof of Africa<br />
since 1984 and this must go down in<br />
social enterprise, we charge our partners<br />
a not- for – profit fee to ensure the<br />
sustainability of our programmes.<br />
The core of our work is both training and<br />
preventative vehicle maintenance. By<br />
running reliable vehicle fleets, we ensure<br />
that the chain in health care delivery<br />
is never broken by failing thereby<br />
increasing health worker productivity.<br />
Our programmes provide training and<br />
employment opportunities to build local<br />
capacity. Our network of highly skilled<br />
technicians regularly travel to service<br />
vehicles in the communities in which<br />
health workers serve. This means they<br />
don’t waste valuable time travelling to<br />
a garage whey they could be with their<br />
patients.<br />
In addition to training health workers<br />
to drive safely in the difficult terrain, we<br />
Motorsport history as one of the longest<br />
uninterrupted sponsorships in motor<br />
racing. They have always stood by the<br />
Roof of Africa through good and bad<br />
times and adapted to the needs of the<br />
event. The last two years has seen the<br />
introduction of a new and truly dynamic<br />
management team and they most<br />
certainly have the Roof of Africa at heart.<br />

WHY IS IT IMPORATANT<br />
The majority of the population of sub-<br />
Saharan Africa live in rural areas where<br />
the best roads are little more than dirt<br />
tracks. Public transport is infrequent<br />
and delivering health care on foot or by<br />
bicycle between sparse villages is an<br />
exhausting and ineffective task.<br />
Put simply, without reliable transport<br />
the millions of pounds that is invested in<br />
vaccines, drugs, bed-nets, condoms and<br />
trained health professionals every year<br />
will be wasted because they will fail to<br />
get where they are needed on time.<br />

FROM MOTUL<br />
An exciting announcement to this year’s Roof of Africa is the<br />
addition of new title sponsor; Motul -coming on board with a long<br />
term deal- aligning two iconic brands. Motul has been involved<br />
through the years with the Roof of Africa as the preferred lubricant<br />
partner, so the progression to title sponsor was a natural one.<br />
Commenting on Motul’s announcement as title sponsor, Peter<br />
Luck, one of the team members behind the Roof said, “We are<br />
ecstatic that Motul has come on board as the title sponsor. Motul<br />
is a prestigious brand which has, for many years, been affiliated<br />
with world class events. This is a great opportunity for the Roof!”<br />
Motul has gained experience as an official supplier to many racing<br />
teams and manufacturers and collaborates with them to further<br />
technological development in motorsport. Motul supports teams<br />
in international competitions like the 24 Hours of Le Mans (cars<br />
and motorcycles), FIA World Endurance Championship, Super<br />
GT, Drift, Pikes Peak, Japanese championship Super Formula,<br />
Blancpain Endurance & Spirit Series, MotoGP, World Superbikes,<br />
MXGP, Endurance World Championship, Supercross, IOM TT, Ice<br />
Speedway Gladiators World Championship, F1 Boat and scores<br />
of others. Motul now adds Africa’s most famous Hard Enduro to<br />
the list.<br />
On behalf of Motul South Africa along with AMP their official<br />
distributor for South Africa and Lesotho, Steven Lurie and Mark<br />
Roach would like to thank the organisers and spectators of this<br />
iconic event and wish all the competitors their best Roof ever! See<br />

ROOF OF AFRICA<br />
HISTORY<br />
The Roof of Africa had its humble beginnings in<br />
1967 when Bob Phillips, a roads engineer working<br />
in Lesotho, approached the Sports Car Club in<br />
Johannesburg and asked them if they would like to run<br />
a race over the worst roads in the world that he had just<br />
finished building. The Roof of Africa was born!<br />
The Roof of Africa quickly gained popularity and<br />
received sponsorship from The Star newspaper further<br />
promoting what was fast becoming a legend. In 1969<br />
motorcycles starting competing against the cars and<br />
the event was soon split into two categories.<br />
The event continued to grow through the 70’s,<br />
80’s and 90’s and the legend continued to grow.<br />
The event ran right across Lesotho up until 1982<br />
with overnight stops in either Matatiele or Sani<br />
Pass. From 1982 the event has been contained<br />
within the borders of Lesotho. The Roof of Africa<br />
also attracted overseas interest and regular<br />
participation from overseas competitors<br />
By the year 2000 off-road car racing had become<br />
a highly specialised sport with big manufacturer<br />
involvement. Single vehicles were now costing<br />
multi-million Maloti and the Roof became “too<br />
tough” for them and the controlling federation<br />
decided to drop cars from the calendar.<br />
Some forecast doom but this was in fact a second<br />
birth for the Roof of Africa with record motorcycle<br />
entries being received. The event is now so popular<br />
that a qualifying event for the Bronze Category has<br />
to be held.<br />
Worldwide, hard enduro or extreme enduro has<br />
become increasingly popular and the Roof became<br />
known as the mother of hard enduro.

A BIG ADV<br />
BIKE RIDE<br />
“Its 7h30 in the evening and the tiny headlight on the SM950 I’m riding is barely illuminating the road<br />
ahead as we cut through a sprawling township on one of The Strugnells famous short cuts our way<br />
back to the East Rand. Added to the bad visibility is the snotty slime created by a swarm of Flying ants<br />
that has congealed on My Tour-X Visor. I can only imagine what my mates with the tinted visors are<br />
going through… but home beckons and it’s been another awesome day in Africa…”<br />
What a ride we had. The<br />
beauty of living in SA –<br />
and if you are a regular<br />
reader of this here<br />
magazine, you’ll have<br />
82 DIRT & TRAIL MAGAZINE DECEMBER 2016<br />
heard us say this a lot: You can point your<br />
motorcycle in virtually any direction and<br />
have a great ride. I hear the Ous from the<br />
Cape and Natal sniggering… Yup – even<br />
in Gauteng chaps, we do have some great<br />
adventure destinations.<br />
The stars of the show are always the<br />
cool bikes that we manage to scrounge<br />
up as we go. For the December issue (flip,<br />
already that time), we put in a concerted<br />
effort to include all of the mega adventures<br />
that we have ridden and tested through<br />
the year – kind of a re-affirmation and<br />
comparison of 2016’s offerings before the<br />
new models start trickling in. It’s also a<br />
great excuse to hook up with old and new<br />
friends to do what we all love.
ENTURE<br />
ON SIX OF THE BEST<br />
BIKES IN THE BUSINESS!<br />
By Glenn and friends<br />
It was unfortunate that 4 bikes in<br />
this class were simply not available<br />
because the importers have sold off their<br />
demo models. BMW (GS1200 and GS<br />
Adv, Suzuki(1000 V-Strom) and Aprilia<br />
(Capornord) were unable to assist. The<br />
other guys came to the party and bikes<br />
were collected from all ends of the world.<br />
Yamaha was only too happy to put a<br />
Gleaming Super Ten World crosser into<br />
their fleet for this story. Triumph supplied<br />
their latest rendition of the 1200 Explorer,<br />
Ducati supplied a gleaming Multistrada<br />
Enduro and Honda sent along a sweet<br />
Africa Twin, complete with the experienced<br />
Hein Engelbrecht from ADA to join us<br />
on the ride. Although KTM did not have<br />
demo’s available, they sourced us two<br />
bikes, the famous 1190R from Trax KTM<br />
in Pretoria and their monster 1290 Super<br />
Enduro from KTM Centurion.<br />
We assembled a Motley Cru of testers<br />
– all, who we would guess would be the<br />
adventure markets target audience, not<br />
motorcrossers, no real wheelie kings, just<br />
your average guys who like exploring the<br />
great outdoors. Some are old hands and<br />
have ridden every offering on the market.<br />
Others are quite new to the game – and it<br />
was very interesting to listen to opinions<br />
and swap notes on what everyone thought<br />
through the day.<br />
Old faces included Kyle Lawrenson<br />
and Glenn Foley. Long-time friends and<br />
contributors, Clive Strugnell, Patrick<br />
Moore and Kurt Beine from the Roam<br />
Africa Forum are often along. Rob Davies<br />
rides a 950 Supermotard and he brought<br />
his mate Donovan Gibbons who recently<br />
progressed from superbikes to a Triumph<br />
Explorer. The last person in the mix was<br />
newcomer Arne Herz who only recently got<br />
into adventuring on his GS650 Dakar<br />
We chose a great circular route that<br />
incorporated everything from urban streets<br />
to fast freeways, scenic gravel and some<br />
interesting twee-spoor padjies on our<br />
route from the East Rand to the great little<br />
dorp of Parys for a bite and back again.<br />
With all of the fantastic rain that has fallen<br />
recently, the whole world in Gauteng<br />
DIRT & TRAIL MAGAZINE DECEMBER 2016 83
is emerald green and it was astonishing to see the<br />
dams and rivers in full flood. Quite difficult to believe<br />
that as little as a week ago, we were in the grips of a<br />
terrible drought. We under guestimated the distances<br />
however, 350 odd kilometers later, after the Ed ran out<br />
of fuel in the middle of nowhere, we found ourselves<br />
in the aforementioned township in the dark… all for the<br />
sake of avoiding toll gates. (C’mon – admit it – you’ve<br />
also done that). The Ed is constantly reminded how<br />
when told it was getting late – his standard reply is –<br />
“But we are having so much fun…”<br />
Anyway…<br />
The bikes:<br />
Without going in to too much detail, we’ll run through<br />
the features on each bike. Some have been with us<br />
for a while – others are relatively new to the market –<br />
but the resounding theme through the day was that<br />
there was not a bad bike among this lot. They each<br />
have their own uniqueness about them and it was<br />
interesting to listen to the opinions from each rider.<br />
So we’ll go through the bikes in no particular order…<br />

HONDA AFRICA TWIN<br />
R160 000.00 www.honda.co.za<br />
It would be fair to say that the<br />
Honda is the simplest bike of the<br />
lot in terms of all of the electronic<br />
gadgetry – and this is refreshing. It’s<br />
one of those bikes that you simply<br />
get on and ride – a practical, easy<br />
to live with machine. In our opinion,<br />
Honda has produced an adventure<br />
machine for the masses. Power that<br />
is practical and not intimidating.<br />
Substantially stronger than the<br />
800’s, but less intimidating than the<br />
bigger cc machines. Off-road it is<br />
one of the most accomplished out<br />
there and it will happily munch miles<br />
on the tar in comfort. It’s available<br />
in three derivatives, basic, just a<br />
big ol dirtbike with no electronics.<br />
Intermediate with ABS and Traction<br />
control. And then the full house DCT<br />
model. The one we used for this ride<br />
was the one in the middle…<br />
Some Features include:<br />
The seat is spacious as is the relation<br />
to the foot pegs, meaning that there<br />
is plenty of room for 6ft plus riders,<br />
yet the bike itself has an impressively<br />
low seat height meaning that even<br />
shorter riders can put both feet flat on<br />
the ground at a standstill. This was<br />
part of Honda’s design brief to make<br />
the bike as manageable as possible<br />
and has been achieved through<br />
integrating the oil tank and pump<br />
within the bottom of the crank case,<br />
which in turn reduces the overall<br />
height of the engine and resulting<br />
seat height. The seat itself is also<br />
particularly narrow where it meets the<br />
fuel tank, which means as a rider your<br />
legs aren’t splayed wide like they are<br />
on a BMW GS, which is significant<br />
for shorter riders. But move back on<br />
the seat and it gets wider, which is<br />
key to the high levels of rider comfort<br />
on the move. The handlebar position<br />
feels neutral yet purposeful and<br />
immediately gives great leverage,<br />
control and inspires a high level of<br />
confidence.<br />
The standard screen is relatively<br />
small, but produces significantly<br />
better wind protection than its<br />
appearance suggests. High-speed<br />
cruising provokes limited buffeting<br />
and an acceptable amount of wind<br />
noise, even when wearing a peaked<br />
adventure helmet.<br />
The 3-stage traction control is<br />
not only effective, but it’s simple to<br />
use. The Africa Twin has a dedicated<br />
toggle lever just above the passing<br />
light on the left-hand bar that<br />
changes the setting. Off-road-specific<br />
ABS, which allows the rear to lock,<br />
is also activated by a simple push<br />
button on the dash.<br />
The all-digital dash displays<br />
speed and revs clearly in the top<br />
section with a lower section showing<br />
gear position, traction control,<br />
temperature, fuel gauge, trip meters<br />
and mpg. On either side of the dash<br />
are warning lights to indicate if the<br />
traction control has been activated.<br />
Load of accessories are available<br />
including luggage, crash protection,<br />
heated grips, taller screen, fog lights,<br />
12v socket and centrestand.<br />

TRUE<br />
ADVENTURE.<br />
Honda CRF1000L Africa Twin<br />
*2016 Model Displayed
WHAT THEY SAY:<br />
Clive Strugnell:<br />
What a wonderful bike. It is the most simple and straightforward,<br />
with a very understated electronic rider aid package. What makes<br />
it so good is the inherent superb design. Honda took a clean sheet<br />
of paper, called in their top engineers, and gave them a brief to<br />
design and produce the best all round adventure bike possible. And<br />
they did. Thanks to the Honda genes passed down from literally<br />
hundreds of off road victories against the best other manufacturers<br />
could throw at them, this bike steers, handles, stops and goes<br />
better than any of its’ peers.<br />
With its smallish bore parallel twin engine, it isn’t the most<br />
powerful or the fastest, but in any off road situation even a mediocre<br />
rider can confidently keep up with any of the other bikes over<br />
the length of an off-road ride. What’s more it looks fantastic, and<br />
probably has the best finish of any adventure bike.<br />
Kurt Beine:<br />
For solo touring with lots of gravel, The Honda Africa Twin (95HP)<br />
would be my 2nd choice for similar conditions, but only if the route<br />
was into Africa, where high power is of little consequence.<br />
Donovan Gibbons:<br />
Honda African Twin - very comfortable to ride with a very high feel<br />
to the riding position, bike feels tall. Lacking a little grunt on the<br />
road compared to the other bikes but handles very well. It is by far<br />
the best handling bike on the dirt, feels soft and very at home on the<br />
dirt, has the best standing riding position of the bikes on the dirt.<br />
Heine Engelbrecht:<br />
Just gets better. Don’t get on this bike and get on the tar after you<br />
have been on the Ducati or the Super Adventure as you just don’t<br />
get that adrenaline flow. On the gravel (the worse the better) and<br />
normal safe riding this is a great package.<br />
The most simple and basic to setup. The electronic settings on<br />
the other bikes keep you busy, the Africa Twin is basic simple and<br />
efficient. (Keep it simple, Simon.) The Africa Twin loves gravel and<br />
on the tar it cruises along comfortably at the national speed limits.<br />
Paddy Moore:<br />
Honda Africa Twin. Best all-rounder, enough power, comfort,<br />
suspension, braking and a nice slick gearshift, with Honda’s<br />
unfailing reliability. Good on tar and dirt, not too heavy but stable<br />
where you need it.<br />
Arne:<br />
Honda Africa Twin. Light. Comfortable. I climbed on and felt<br />
confident. Quiet and smooth. Responsive. I looked down at the<br />
speedo, it read, “165”, and it felt like 120, (a new ‘PB’ for me). Feels<br />
and rides high, yet my feet touched the ground !!!! Wow I could get<br />
used to this bike I’d buy: It’s not a matter of closing my eyes, it’s<br />
more about scraping around inside the folds of my lean slim wallet.<br />
Honda Africa Twin.<br />
Rob Davies:<br />
In Heidelberg I jumped onto the Africa twin. First impression<br />
was that it was very comfortable and smooth to ride but definitely<br />
not in the same power class as the KTM. Just never going to get<br />
your pulse racing. That was on tar. Later I got on it again when<br />
we did some off-roading. Now turn off traction control and abs<br />
and the bike is fantastic. It reminded me of my 950 but with more<br />
refinement and better suspension. It felt like a large enduro bike<br />
with how easy it handled sand, rocky paths and puddles. Loved the<br />

gold rims too. What do you say about a<br />
bike that has really proved itself over the<br />
years? The Super Ten is the bike in this<br />
pack that has been with us for the longest<br />
– and Yamaha has sold them in droves.<br />
With the plethora of new offerings hitting<br />
the market, some might say that it’s time<br />
for this manufacturer to build something<br />
new. But in SA, we don’t control what they<br />
do, sofor now at least, the Supe is here to<br />
stay. It’s an understated bike – beautiful<br />
from every angle with a tried and tested<br />
Parallel twin at its heart. It has been<br />
left behind in the power stakes, but for<br />
adventuring, many riders are intimidated<br />
by lots of horsepower. Our experience<br />
of this big Yammie has always been very<br />
pleasant – it’s a very well accomplished<br />
bike, a smooth package with every<br />
conceivable extra that your heart desires<br />
readily available.<br />
Some Features:<br />
A 1199cc liquid-cooled parallel twin that<br />
is just as adept at fast freeway speeds<br />
as it is lugging rider, pillion and luggage.<br />
Performance isn’t ground-breaking but<br />
the engine is very smooth smooth and<br />
there are minimal vibes. Power delivery<br />
can also be tamed (not that it needs to<br />
be) by switching to Touring mode via a<br />
bar-mounted button. Smoother throttle<br />
response and improved fuel economy<br />
are the result. MotoGP tech features in<br />
this engine – by placing the crankshaft<br />
closer to the rider and low in the chassis,<br />
while maintaining decent off-road ground<br />
clearance, the crank’s gyro effect doesn’t<br />
intrude on the bike’s steering.<br />
The Super Tenere has a traction control<br />
system that is hardly noticeable when it<br />
cuts in and can be turned off for off-road<br />
use, clever ABS and linked brake system<br />
that can measure lever pressure against<br />
speed and balance the braking effort<br />
between front and rear. Use only the rear<br />
brake and its ABS module doesn’t cut<br />
in to allow easy/safe turning around in<br />
the middle of the road. It has a fuss-free<br />
shaft drive.<br />

WHAT THEY SAY:<br />
Clive Strugnell:<br />
As the only other Japanese participant<br />
in this story it is interesting to start with<br />
the similarities between the Honda Africa<br />
Twin and this bike, which are its’ supreme<br />
capability both on and off road as a cross<br />
continent kilometer eater, and its’ quality.<br />
In both of these aspects it matches<br />
the Honda. Apart from that it is a<br />
very different machine. It is big and<br />
imposing, just like the BMW GS which it<br />
is obviously targeted against. Over the<br />
years Yamaha have taken a great bike<br />
and progressively made it better, to the<br />
point where it is now a really outstanding<br />
adventure machine.<br />
On the move this is a great bike.<br />
It is rock steady both on the tar and<br />
the dirt, the ergonomics make it easy<br />
to find a comfortable riding position<br />
whether standing or sitting, and it is a<br />
great place to spend hours of enjoyable<br />
riding. At the end of the day this is a<br />
big bike, and it looks it. It is probably<br />
the Toyota Landcruiser equivalent of the<br />
bike world. On this bike you can plan a<br />
trip to anywhere in the world, and you<br />
know it will take you there in comfort with<br />
breaking down on the way.<br />
Donovan Gibbons:<br />
When you look at the bike you see this<br />
big heavy bike but it’s actually a totally<br />
different feel once you climb onto it.<br />
lacking a bit on the grunt side but a<br />
very comfortable soft ride on the road<br />
and everything works so smoothly on it,<br />
from the gear box to the acceleration<br />
of the bike is all very smooth. I could<br />
comfortably sit on the saddle the whole<br />
day. Handles the dirt surprisingly well for<br />
such a big bike.<br />
Heine Engelbrecht:<br />
Still the same reliable adventure bike<br />
understand why it is popular for guys<br />
travelling over land. Falling behind with<br />
the new adventure bikes on the market.<br />
Kurt Beine:<br />
For general touring in SA, this would be<br />
my 2nd Choice to the Triumph (by a very<br />
small margin). I have always loved this<br />
bike since it was launched a few years<br />
back, super comfortable, similar in a<br />
lot of ways to the Triumph, for most the<br />
decision would be made between these<br />
two by your brand preference. What does<br />
it for me is the Triumph triple motor.<br />
Arne:<br />
Remember this is the first big bike I have<br />
ridden other than my BMW 650 Dakar.<br />
Sir Paddy warned me about the power<br />
of the Super Tenere, which I noted and<br />
rode it gingerly. Rode it with respect and<br />
wide opened eyes. Amazing power. Easy<br />
to balance, Glides out the corners Quiet,<br />
Smooth, Beautiful engineering.<br />
Paddy Moore:<br />
Yamaha Super Tenere World Crosser,<br />
comfortable, ultra reliable with excellent<br />
brakes and gearbox. Looks a bit porky,<br />
but it’s surprisingly agile. Good enough<br />
on dirt too and fine for passengers.<br />
Some say it’s ageing, but I reckon it’s<br />
perfected. The logical, competent choice<br />
for long trips.<br />
Rob Davies:<br />
The Yamaha Tenere is a very interesting<br />
bike. From a distance it looks slightly<br />
dated. However, up close you notice<br />
plenty of nice ‘arty’ bits like mesh and<br />
carbon fibre. And the clocks and screen<br />
are as modern as you get. The ride is<br />
one of pure comfort especially as this is<br />
the only bike I could get both feet flat on<br />
the floor.<br />

TRIUMPH 1200 EXPLORER XCX<br />
R199500 www.triumphmotorcycles.co.za<br />
We first got our mitts on this one<br />
a month or two ago – and in that<br />
feature, we extolled the virtues of the<br />
improvements on Triumphs latest<br />
offering. Triumph blitzed the Adventure<br />
market when they released their stunning<br />
800 – and when the first big Explorer<br />
came along, we expected more of the<br />
same. It was a great bike but the stock<br />
suspension let it down, so it was really<br />
great on the road, but riding in the dirt<br />
took a fair amount of caution. With its<br />
latest rendition, Triumph has rectified this<br />
by fitting top of the line WP suspension<br />
and it is like a whole new bike in the dirt.<br />
Add this to the fantastically unique triple<br />
cylinder engine and this is one helluva<br />
machine. Awesome creamy power,<br />
excellent suspension, long legs and<br />
styling right up there with the best.<br />
Some features:<br />
Triumph has used state of the art<br />
electronics and a host of chassis, engine<br />
and comfort upgrades to transform its big<br />
adventure bike. It might look the original<br />
2012 Tiger Explorer on the outside, but<br />
this updated 2016 version is a completely<br />
different animal. There are now six<br />
versions to choose from: three road<br />
variants (XR range) and three off-road (XC<br />
range), with ascending levels of spec.<br />
With its new riding position and seat,<br />
the Explorer is more comfortable on<br />
the long haul and more manoeuvrable<br />
off-road than the previous model. Wind<br />
buffeting has been banished, thanks<br />
to an electrically-operated screen –<br />
standard on all versions and a first for an<br />
adventure bike. Shaper steering, beefier<br />
Brembo brakes and wider wheels and<br />
tyres help the Triumph stop, turn and<br />
grip more effectively. But the biggest<br />
improvement to ride and handling comes<br />
from the new Triumph Semi Active<br />
Suspension WP suspension. Constantly<br />
adjusting damping and self-levelling the<br />
rear preload the electronic suspension<br />
improves ride quality and keep the<br />
Explorer composed, stable and helps it to<br />
seek out grip on and off-road.<br />
As fast, safe and capable as it is,<br />
the new 137bhp Triumph is still pretty<br />
weighty and this XCA tips the scales at<br />
258kg dry.<br />
You get a lot of equipment in standard<br />
trim, even on the base model Explorer.<br />
The headline stuff includes the electronic<br />
rider aid package on the mid and highspec<br />
versions, which include up to five<br />
riding modes, the latest traction control<br />
and cornering ABS systems, semi-active<br />
suspension and a hill hold. Depending<br />
on spec you also get self-cancelling<br />
indicators, a centre stand, on-board<br />
computer, cruise control, heated grips<br />
and seat, 12v and USB chargers… the<br />
list goes on. There are plenty of official<br />
accessories to choose from, too.<br />
94 DIRT & TRAIL MAGAZINE DECEMBER 2016
WHAT THEY SAY:<br />
Clive Strugnell:<br />
Just like the Yamaha Tenere’, the<br />
1200XCX has been steadily developed<br />
from the original Triumph Tiger launched<br />
way back when. There was a time<br />
when Triumph publicly stated that their<br />
adventure bike look alike Tiger wasn’t<br />
really meant for serious off road use,<br />
but that is long forgotten and this new<br />
version certainly disproves that.<br />
Starting with the looks of the<br />
machine… it seems to have been hewn<br />
out of one solid block of military grade<br />
steel…it is huge, and looks it! It doesn’t<br />
just look impressive, it is – especially with<br />
the very latest WP supension.<br />
Starting the unique 1200 triple cylinder<br />
engine is just great. It has a ripping<br />
sound which make you want to rev<br />
the thing all the time. On the move the<br />
superb handling and great riding position<br />
encourage one to give it gas - and when<br />
you do it flies! Although it has bags<br />
of smooth, very useable torque, very<br />
different to the other bikes engines.<br />
It is just so much fun to flick up and<br />
down through the gearbox because it<br />
sounds so good. It is as comfortable<br />
as the Windsor Castle smoking lounge,<br />
and a nice place to spend the day<br />
eating kilometers between nowhere and<br />
somewhere. This bike makes you wonder<br />
why Ewan and Charlie did all those trips<br />
on a German bike when they could have<br />
used one of these? Ok the New explorer<br />
was not around then – but just imagine<br />
what that would have done for the brand?<br />
The Triumph matches the BM and<br />
Yamaha in that it has a shaft drive and<br />
lots of place for custom panniers and a<br />
large passenger. At the end of the day<br />
this is a brilliant bike for the rider who<br />
wants quality and understated class.<br />
Heine Engelbrecht:<br />
Good package. Sits very comfortable.<br />
Lovely sound. Nothing exciting though<br />
and the dials on the bike are over the top.<br />
Kurt Beine:<br />
This would be my first choice for general<br />
touring in South Africa, and one or two<br />
countries across our borders, pillion or<br />
solo, the Triumph Explorer, it’s upgraded<br />
suspension, screen and informative dash<br />
are the most noticeable improvements<br />
over the previous version, and that<br />
135HP triple motor is just so addictive, it<br />
is sold with all the features possible, just<br />
needs luggage.<br />
Arne:<br />
Easier to ride and Less terrifying than the<br />
Tenere. Smooth and quiet.<br />
Paddy Moore:<br />
Superbly smooth and powerful engine,<br />
excellent brakes and gearbox, but a<br />
hard low seat. A real mile eater on tar,<br />
but still a bit heavy on the dirt and with<br />
a complicated electronic setup system.<br />
I was glad to be on it on our dark, traffic<br />
strewn way home though. One for<br />
passengers and big riders.<br />
Rob Davies:<br />
This is a bike I’ve ridden a lot and have<br />
grown to respect. Also the first bike I rode<br />
with cruise control. (Really useful feature<br />
when your right arm is moeg). The power<br />
delivery is just so smooth and for a big<br />
bike it feels really light. Even off road the<br />
brilliant suspension just sucks up every<br />
bump with ease. So you ask will I be<br />
upgrading? Not anytime soon. My good<br />
old electronics free 950se rocks! But, if<br />
one day the wifey fancies joining me on a<br />
trip, I’ll be putting her on the back of the<br />
Triumph…<br />

DUCATI MULTISTRADA ENDURO<br />
R242 900 www.ducati.co.za<br />
The Big Daddy of the bunch, the Ducati is quite<br />
simply a bike apart in this test. All agreed that if the<br />
shekels were freely available, this one would be one<br />
of the machines parked in the garage. From front to<br />
rear it just oozes European flair and design – nothing<br />
is simply made – it is beautifully crafted to create a<br />
really unique machine. The most prominent feature<br />
has to be the amazing arm-wrenching Desmotronic<br />
V-Twin engine. Initially electronic trickery governed<br />
the hell out of it, but once we figured out the correct<br />
settings, it blitzed everything in sight. Ducati has<br />
done an amazing job on such a great big donk<br />
of a bike mating performance with a chassis and<br />
suspension that works astonishingly well anywhere.<br />
Some features:<br />
There’s no getting away from the fact that this is a<br />
big bike. The seat is an inch taller than the standard<br />
Multistrada’s and the bars 50mm higher. With its<br />
big 30-litre fuel tank it’s wide, too, so shorter riders<br />
will struggle to get both feet down at a standstill,<br />
especially off-road. It’s a bike for the taller rider, or a<br />
confident off-roader. But with its tuned semi-active<br />
Sachs suspension the Ducati irons out the road<br />
ahead and even riding over rocks, you’d swear you<br />
were on tarmac. Handling on the dirt is excellent and<br />
it’s actually pretty nimble on tricky sections. New<br />
spoked wheels (with a 19” front) are shod with dual<br />
purpose Pirelli Scorpion Trail II tyres and give lots of<br />
grip and confidence in all conditions. A comfortable<br />
riding position, excellent wind protection and goodies<br />
like heated grips and cruise control all add up to<br />
make the 1200 Enduro a great, comfortable ride<br />
The 1200 is as loaded as you’d expect and comes<br />
with a colour dash display, a full electronics package,<br />
semi-active suspension, off-road pegs and levers, a<br />
centre stand…the list goes on. You can also add an<br />
Enduro, Touring, Sport or Urban Pack to customise<br />
you Ducati even more.<br />
98 DIRT & TRAIL MAGAZINE DECEMBER 2016
WHAT THEY SAY:<br />
Clive Strugnell:<br />
Someone always has to come and spoil<br />
the party, and the party pooper in this<br />
case was the new Ducati Multistrada. The<br />
first one was designed by South African<br />
Pierre Terblanche way back in the midnineties.<br />
Although it was a pretty cool<br />
and quite underrated bike, the Ducati<br />
Multistrada never really set the world<br />
on fire. And then suddenly Audi bought<br />
Ducati, and Kazam! A new Multistrada<br />
has hit the highway, and man is this thing<br />
awesome.<br />
Audi probably pulled in the Italian<br />
squad from Ducati, sat them down in<br />
their German board room and started the<br />
conversation something like this “Mein<br />
Herren, down the strasse from us we<br />
have a bunch of Bavarians who think<br />
they can build the best Adventure bike<br />
in town. Vee are going to show them<br />
othervise!” “Now take your spaghetti<br />
bowls back to Bologna and bring us a<br />
new Multistrada that tells the Austrians<br />
we are also ready to race and we have<br />
some track bikes to prove that, and we<br />
can also make bikes that are comfortable<br />
and won’t break.” “When you bring<br />
it here vee vill get some Audi factory<br />
testers to make sure that not only are<br />
the levers pretty, but they won’t break<br />
with motocross boots stamping on them<br />
either.” “ Also forget about siesta time<br />
because we need it soon!”<br />
Not long after that the new Ducati<br />
Multistrada hit town. It is a magnificent<br />
bike. Even if you ride one of the<br />
testosterone overdosed KTM 1290 Super<br />
Adventures, be warned, this bike will turn<br />
you into toast in the power and speed<br />
department. The riding position is great,<br />
although in comparison to all the other<br />
bikes here the riding position is more<br />
“In” the bike than on top of it, and takes<br />
a minute or two to get used to. When<br />
the Italians brought it back to Audi for<br />
a quality check everything passed. It’s<br />
got proper stuff on it. Strong levers, well<br />
protected parts all over, it just exudes<br />
quality. Out and about its ability on and<br />
off road is very good. Its’ dirtability is<br />
top drawer, and of course on the road<br />
it is dynamite. There are some serious<br />
questions to ask if you are thinking of<br />
buying one of these? Who is going to<br />
look after it when the fun of the trail takes<br />
its’ toll? The same guys who import<br />
Porsche bring them in, so parts won’t<br />
be a problem but of course there is the<br />
question of “is it fair to get something this<br />
beautiful dirty and muddy?”<br />
Donovan Gibbons:<br />
The best looking bike of the bunch.<br />
It’s a beast on the road, has loads of<br />
acceleration and handles very well on<br />
the road. Just very complicated when it<br />
comes to the electronics side and getting<br />
the bike set up right. Handles the dirt<br />
rather well but feels big when your on the<br />
dirt compared to the other bikes. I feel it’s<br />
more of a road bike than a dirt bike.<br />
Kurt Beine:<br />
For long distance touring and good gravel<br />
roads, the Ducati Multistrada Enduro<br />
would be my 2nd choice, but purely<br />
because I have orange blood. Both the<br />
Ducati and the KTM Super Enduro have<br />
stonking performance and power, (160hp)<br />
we did a few roll – on comparisons, (once<br />
the Ducati was back in high power mode)<br />
and both had advantages under certain<br />
gears and rev ranges, the Ducati seemed<br />
more comfortable though.<br />
Heine Engelbrecht:<br />
If you have the money and don’t intend<br />
doing to serious stuff this is the bike.<br />
Finishing on the bike great. Attention to<br />
detail, reason why this bike is the most<br />
expensive. Seating great. Just an overall<br />
great touring bike which makes the<br />
heads turn where ever you stop. Power<br />
sound and handling great. Was more<br />
comfortable on this bike off road than on<br />
the other big bikes with 19” front wheels.<br />
Brake fluid container was a<br />
disappointment though. Moves a lot<br />
where it is mounted on the handlebar and<br />
looks flimsy. Had to look for a negative<br />
point and this was it.<br />
Paddy Moore:<br />
Miss Italy in hiking boots – beautiful, fast,<br />
expensive, versatile and desirable, while<br />
she breaks your heart and bank balance!<br />
The emotional choice, but with plenty of<br />
practical ability on and off road – if only I<br />
could afford her…<br />
Rob Davies:<br />
“The Duke.” What a work of art. Like all<br />
things Italian, just so classy. (Like Rossi<br />
and my Gaerne boots) I have ridden<br />
this bike before and loved it. The motor,<br />
suspension, off road ability etc. are just<br />
magic. However, in this company, this<br />
bike felt like the heaviest and widest to<br />
me. Not as easy to swerve past the many<br />
potholes as the other bikes.<br />

KTM 1290 SUPER<br />
ADVENTURE<br />
R235999.00<br />
20k trade assistance<br />
www.ktm.com<br />
KTM’s super tourer. In our opinion, KTM broke with tradition<br />
when they built the 1290. Let’s look at it. The companies<br />
mantra is “Ready to Race”, and when you compare this<br />
bike with their other offerings, it is really in its own class.<br />
Everything about it is large – from the obvious huge<br />
horsepower engine, to the monster tank, seat and – well<br />
everything. They did not cut corners either and have packed<br />
the bike with every ounce of electronic trickery known to<br />
man. And it all works so well that you don’t know that it’s<br />
there…The resultant machine is a rip-snorting package that<br />
will take your breath away when you twist the throttle – or<br />
it’s a bike that you can happily point at the horizon and travel<br />
in absolute comfort to far flung places. One thing is clear.<br />
KTM’s performance pedigree shines on this bike. Everything<br />
about it is big. Big Power. Big attitude.<br />
Some features:<br />
The Super Adventure is laden with gadgetry. Controlling<br />
all the power and torque are KTM’s latest-generation<br />
electronics, namely the excellent MSC, (Motorcycle Stability<br />
Control) and MTC (Motorcycle Traction Control). The<br />
1290 also sees the introduction of semi-active electronic<br />
suspension for the first time on a production KTM. The bike<br />
can practically see round corners in the dark too thanks to<br />
its secondary LED lights. The 1290 also has cruise control<br />
and comes with a steering damper fitted as standard.<br />
If you select one of the bike’s four riding modes, not only<br />
are you adjusting the available power, throttle response and<br />
amount of traction control, but also the damping settings.<br />
And yes, you really can feel the difference on the road.<br />
For such a big bike it really shouldn’t handle as well as it<br />
does. The riding position and ergonomics are excellent and<br />
everything is adjustable: bars, levers, seat, pegs and even<br />
the screen. Also standard are heated grips and a heated seat<br />
– both for rider and pillion. Cornering ABS allows the rider to<br />
rely on C-ABS even when banked over.<br />
Pretty cool huh?<br />
100 DIRT & TRAIL MAGAZINE DECEMBER 2016
WHAT THEY SAY:<br />
Clive Strugnell:<br />
KTM’s biggest bike is just as big, comfortable and capable<br />
of blitzing down an Autobahn as any of their Bavarian<br />
counterparts. The big difference though is that these pesky<br />
KTM engineers also build off-road and Grand Prix bikes<br />
that win lots of races, and they know a lot about power -<br />
and they make sure that their orange bikes have it by the<br />
shed-load. They don’t have to persuade riders of their big<br />
adventure bikes to do all sorts of tricks and competitions<br />
over logs and around straw bales to prove their ability. As<br />
KTM say all the time, their bikes are “Ready to Race” and<br />
they really are. Their seats are now as comfortable as<br />
anyone else other than Yamaha, and their ergonomics are<br />
not just taken off Alfie Cox’s Dakar bike anymore. They also<br />
have lots of electronics, just as well on bikes as big and<br />
powerful as these. What’s more they got some 12 year old to<br />
design the switchgear so that the electronic stuff is easy to<br />
switch on and off. (Try and set your PVR one day, and when<br />
you give up your 12 year old will do it in a flash).<br />
Heine Engelbrecht:<br />
1290 Super Adventure. All the bells and whistles.<br />
Comfortable makes you lazy. On road great touring bike and<br />
should be fun getting to your destination. Off road gets a<br />
handful and you need to concentrate a bit more.<br />
Kurt Beine:<br />
For long distance touring with a mix of tar and good dirt,<br />
solo or pillion, the KTM 1290 Super Adventure would be<br />
my 1st choice, the Ducati Multistrada Enduro would be<br />
my 2nd choice, but purely because I have orange blood.<br />
Both bikes have stonking performance and power, (160hp)<br />
we did a few roll – on comparisons, (once the Ducati was<br />
back in high power mode) and both had advantages under<br />
certain gears and rev ranges, the Ducati seemed more<br />
comfortable though.<br />
Paddy Moore:<br />
Another typically effective Austrian rocket but with more on<br />
road ability and probably kinder to passengers. Everything<br />
works beautifully, so even if it lacks the Multistrada’s<br />
emotional appeal, it will still do everything that you ask of it.<br />

KTM 1190 R<br />
ADVENTURE<br />
R200000.00<br />
20k trade assistance<br />
www.ktm.com<br />
Ready to Race? Absolutely. Make no bones about it, this is<br />
very possibly the most exciting adventure machine on the<br />
market. Bar none. It’s easy to see how KTM’s Off-road genes<br />
shine through on the 1190 and even though it’s been with us<br />
for a while, this bike was a fantastic contender in this pack.<br />
Like a breath of fresh air due to its simple hooligan nature.<br />
Simple?<br />
Yup. Big powerful, make no bones about it engine. Dirtbike<br />
inspired chassis and suspension – and not too complicated<br />
electronic trickery. It’s quite easy to understand why KTM<br />
fans are drawn to this bike. It really is true hooligan and a<br />
barrel of fun. The 21 inch front wheel and trail tyres give a<br />
clue as to its intentions. Nothing conservative about it. Go<br />
and play…<br />
Some Features:<br />
Wheels are 21 inches at the front and 19 inches at the rear<br />
shod in Conti Twinduro tyres – the most off-road tyres of all<br />
the bikes that we rode. Brush guards are standard – as are<br />
the crash bars. This one came with an Arrow slip on that<br />
enhanced the snarl of that great big-bore V-Twin.<br />
Since 2015, the mode-sensitive braking system offers<br />
cornering ABS, or the ability to hit your brake lever like<br />
a lunatic even when you’re fully leaned over. The Bosch<br />
system smoothly applies the amount of braking it calculates<br />
your tyres can handle, bringing you to a safe stop without<br />
having to stand your bike up and run wide.<br />
There’s other luxuries too, like tyre pressure monitors, a<br />
tank that’s good for almost 500 km of freeway riding and a<br />
sturdy rack and pannier mounts, which add to the overall<br />
feeling of class and competence this machine exudes. Even<br />
the underseat tool kit is special – it’s the best we’ve seen on<br />
a motorcycle....<br />
102 DIRT & TRAIL MAGAZINE DECEMBER 2016
WHAT THEY SAY:<br />
Clive Strugnell:<br />
These bikes were inspired by Beerfests. They are loud,<br />
brash, very orange, full of boastful confidence and are<br />
favourites all over the World. In fact they are often seen in<br />
places only very capable and special vehicles can get to.<br />
Except there is absolutely no way they will ever be able to<br />
sneak there unobtrusively.<br />
Of course this is just what KTM want. In all honesty KTM<br />
may be targeting a younger market who grew up racing<br />
MX bikes and don’t mind if the plastics rattle a bit, and<br />
that both the 1190 and the 1290 have seats that get rather<br />
warm because of the exhaust pipe routing that you have<br />
to stand up every now and then to cool down the cajones.<br />
However at the end of the day, both the KTM 1190 and<br />
1290 deliver lots of bang for their buck, and are right up<br />
with the best in the Adventure bike and touring market.<br />
Another big plus factor in choosing a bike like this is who<br />
is going to look after it when it needs some TLC? KTM<br />
have established a nationwide network of pretty impressive<br />
dealers around the country who will not only service your<br />
bike very competently, but who will also give you a cup<br />
of coffee and sell you a bright orange KTM toaster at the<br />
same time!<br />
Donovan Gibbons:<br />
looks mean, and surprising when you get onto it how light<br />
and nimble she feels. Very easy to ride and has lots of grunt<br />
to play around with. Think it would have handled a lot better<br />
on the road with a different set of tyres especially at high<br />
speeds but then those tyres came into their own on the dirt.<br />
Bike handles very well on the dirt and was lots of fun to<br />
ride. If I had to look at buying a bike from the bunch for the<br />
type of riding I do, I think I would buy the KTM 1190<br />
Heine Engelbrecht:<br />
Exciting bike. Power great. Sound great with aftermarket<br />
pipe. Just wants to go no riding slow on this bike dirt or tar.<br />
Knobblies were a bit hard for the tar section. The seat got<br />
very hot.<br />
Kurt Beine:<br />
For solo touring with a lot of dirt, irrespective of condition,<br />
the KTM 1190 R would be my choice. This was the only<br />
bike on test that had knobblies fitted, and is simply<br />
amazing on dirt, very stable on dry tar, with incredible<br />
performance,(150HP) and I just love the KTM sense of<br />
hooliganism that the 1190 R encourages.<br />
Patrick Moore:<br />
21 inch wheeled dirt road hot rod that also blitses tarmac<br />
pretty well. If you enjoy riding hard this is your bike, but<br />
passengers probably won’t enjoy the experience.<br />
Robert Davies:<br />
Glenn has known for some time now my wish to ride the<br />
ktm 1190, as it’s been on my mind to possibly upgrade<br />
from my 950se. Lucky for me that’s the bike I got on first.<br />
And what a great bike it is. Sure it’s a big bike, like them all,<br />
but it’s so agile and easy to ride, both seated and standing.<br />
Plenty of power, in any gear, just suited my lazy riding style.<br />
Wind protection from the smallest screen of all the bikes<br />
was also brilliant. Needless to say I was very impressed.<br />
Maybe it is time to upgrade.<br />

Conclusions:<br />
Hein says:<br />
Interesting after the International<br />
Horizons Unlimited event we attended<br />
and heard all these international overland<br />
Travellers sharing their experiences I just<br />
realized that most of us travel too fast.<br />
The founders have been travelling since<br />
1987 and have had no incidents and the<br />
one reason they mention is to the keep<br />
the speed down.<br />
We should keep this in mind as for<br />
myself I struggle to keep within the<br />
speed limits (I don’t do 180 plus but I<br />
don’t always stick to 120 either) but am<br />
genuinely going to try and do this.<br />
Kurt Says:<br />
What an amazing day, it’s not often you<br />
get the chance to test 6 big adventure<br />
bikes out, +/- R1.3 bar’s worth, on a<br />
wide variety of roads, thanks to Dirt<br />
& Trail, and the bike brands that were<br />
generous enough to lend us their<br />
bikes, our route took us out to Parys<br />
by tar, highway, suburban, then after<br />
lunch a lot of Free State farm roads<br />
which are in good condition, and<br />
some railway service roads, all 6 bikes<br />
handled everything with ease, some<br />
were more at ease than others under<br />
various conditions, but given the design<br />
requirements of the various bikes this<br />
was to be expected. I would comfortably<br />
ride this entire route again with any of<br />
these bikes what a cool day.<br />
Thankfully there is now such a wide<br />
spread of adventure bikes, one just has<br />
to decide on the brand, and make sure it<br />
fits your list of requirements, some have<br />
features that others don’t, some are more<br />
suitable in certain conditions, there is not<br />
one bike that is suitable for everything,<br />
of the 6 tested here, my choice would be<br />
the KTM 1190 R, although I know I would<br />
regret not choosing one of the others at<br />
certain points of any journey.<br />
Arne Herz:<br />
Since I started, I found adventure riding<br />
covers the full paradigm from terrifying<br />
all the way across to exhilarating. Riding<br />
those bikes felt like that.<br />
I’ve only been riding been riding for 14<br />
months on my Bmw f 650 GS<br />
Thanks guys – after this I find my<br />
Dakar, heavy, noisy and mechanically<br />
rough, everything feels ‘clanky’. Every<br />
action has to be positive, eg changing<br />
gears. After riding the others, mine feels<br />
like a tractor, from a Porsche to a Beetle.<br />
The new bikes are smooth and soft. From<br />
my house in Kensington, back to my<br />
house, I clocked 463km, Thanks once<br />
again. For me, “Every kilometre is a new<br />
experience”.<br />
Paddy:<br />
What would I buy? It would depend how<br />
rich and brave I was feeling – Ducati<br />
Multistrada Enduro on a really good day,<br />
Honda Africa Twin on any other….but<br />
they’re all really good bikes waiting for<br />
the right rider to make the most of them<br />
for his particular type(s) of riding.<br />
Rob Davies:<br />
Now this was one ride I was glad to be<br />
invited on. Big boy’s bikes. And what a<br />
selection. In typical Foley style we ran<br />
very late and in typical Strugnell style<br />
we ended up in some interesting places<br />
but man we did it in style. Cool bikes…<br />
Thanks guys!<br />

LAST<br />
CHANCE!
Q U I C K R I D E<br />
HUSQVARNA’S<br />
450FX<br />
“Hey Guys – we’ve got Bruce Viljoens new Husky<br />
450FX at the shop – how’d you like to come and<br />
take this special machine for a little ride?”<br />
With only 2 of these bikes in the country – we’d be<br />
stupid not to jump at the chance…<br />
That was the call from the ever enthusiastic mob from<br />
Bikers Warehouse in Malobongwe drive. It was just one<br />
day before this deadline – so we jumped at the opportunity<br />
to test this fairly unique 450 at their track. To be absolutely<br />
honest, we need to get this bike out on to some faster<br />
flowing trails, that will come soon.<br />
The skinny:<br />
These X bikes fall between the FC and TC (motocross)<br />
models and the FE and TE (Enduro) models. The TX (twostroke)<br />
and FX (four-stroke) can be considered Husky’s<br />
Cross Country race bikes, designed for closed course offroad<br />
competition such as Hare and Hounds, GNCCs, and<br />
National Enduro. But Husqvarna also made it very clear that<br />
the TX and FXs are at home on a motocross track as well as<br />
single track.<br />

FX 450<br />
The 450 version is based on the FC<br />
450 and got the exact same off-road<br />
accoutrements added on. Again, those<br />
are a bigger, 8.3 litre tank, kickstand,<br />
Dunlop AT81s, stronger battery, 18-inch<br />
rear wheel, suspension settings, but<br />
retains the same five speed gear box as<br />
the motocross machine.<br />
Engine<br />
This generation of 450 motor is much<br />
more controllable than that of the<br />
previous models. In the standard map,<br />
the bike has smooth, torquey power that<br />
really lights up up when you want it to,<br />
but its not so brutal that it wears you<br />
down in the tight stuff. In the aggressive<br />
map, there is a huge difference in power<br />
delivery, especially right off the bottom.<br />
There is significantly more thrust that<br />
gives you that full 450 motocross feel.<br />
Also, the traction control, so far as one<br />
day of testing will tell us, is much more<br />
useful on a bike that makes a claimed<br />
63 hp. This one had an FMF full system<br />
fitted.<br />
Handling<br />
Being really light and slim does wonders<br />
for handling feel. It is so easy to turn<br />
this bike using only lower body. Guys<br />
this bike is surprisingly small for a 450<br />
and we could put our feet on the ground<br />
which is super cool. On the track, it’s<br />
just as willing to carve a corner and<br />
blast a berm as it is to snake through<br />
the single track. This bike is so agile and<br />
nimble for a 450. This is high praise for a<br />
450 off-road bike.<br />
Who’s this bike for? To be honest,<br />
we need a little more time in the saddle<br />
to see if this bike is really 50 percent<br />
track, 50 percent trail or if it leans more<br />
one way than the other. But so far, we<br />
can say that both motocross riders and<br />
serious off-road guys and gals would<br />
have a hard time finding faults on the FX<br />
450. Its barrels of fun to ride.<br />
More on this bike soon…<br />

NATIONAL CROSS-COUNTRY<br />
MOTORCYCLE AND QUAD CHAMPIONS<br />
EMERGE AFTER TOUGH BATTLES<br />
Tough battles and close racing characterised the 2016 SA<br />
National Cross-Country Motorcycle and Quad Championship<br />
and the various class champions had to work hard for their<br />
crowns. It was, however, not only at the front where the<br />
challenges continued race after race as the competition further<br />
down the ranks was as nerve-racking for the crews, supporters<br />
and sponsors.<br />
After six events across the country including three days of<br />
racing in Botswana, competitors can look back at a testing<br />
season and hard earned points. Most championships went<br />
down to the wire after various ding-dong battles.<br />
In the motorcycle category, two Botswana riders claimed<br />
their crowns (Ross Branch and Dartagnan Lobjoit) with both<br />
winning a SA national cross-country title for the very first time.<br />
Branch (Brother Leader Tread KTM), a multiple SA motocross<br />
champion, took the OR1 (Open Class) title ahead of the<br />
defending champion, Kenny Gilbert (Kargo Racing Husqvarna)<br />
with a mere five points separating them. Altus de Wet (BCR<br />
Arrow Yamaha Racing) rounded off the podium with Michael<br />
Pentecost (Proudly Bidvest Yamaha), who took the early lead in<br />
the class after winning the first two rounds, fourth after a double<br />
dose of trouble in Botswana.<br />
Branch’s team-mate, Louw Schmidt, defended his OR2<br />
(250cc) title successfully despite an early scare and another at<br />
the <strong>final</strong> round. He claimed four victories during the rest of the<br />
season. Cameron Becker (KTM Centurion Liqui Moly Racing)<br />
lead the class during the first half of the season and finished<br />
second with Brendon Fourie (Sherco SA Racing) finishing third<br />
ahead of former champion, Jaycee Nienaber (Super Moose<br />
Racing KTM) fourth after an up and down season and Deon du<br />
Toit (KTM) fifth.<br />
The Botswana rider, Dartagnan Lobjoit (Yamaha) walked<br />
away with the OR3 (200cc) crown after a nail biting season that<br />
included two victories in his home country. He was followed by<br />
Eduan Bester (KTM Centurion Liqui Moly Racing) who moved<br />
up after winning the High School championship for the past two<br />
seasons with the defending OR3 champion, Brett Swanepoel<br />
(Proudly Bidvest Yamaha) third. Swanepoel took the first two<br />
victories of the season and won at the last two races again,<br />
but could not finish in Botswana. Calvin Wiltshire (Droomers<br />
Yamaha) just missed the podium after his first national season<br />
with Willem Schönfeldt (BCR Arrow Yamaha Racing) having to<br />
settle for fifth place after being second and fighting for the title<br />
when a broken leg kept him from competing in the <strong>final</strong> event.<br />
The Senior Class title was on a knife’s edge the whole season<br />
before the defending champion, Juan ‘Bollie’ van Rooyen<br />
(Brother Leader Tread KTM), whose season started dismally,<br />
UM 03, Clearwatermall, Hendrik Potgieter & Christiaan de Wet, Little Falls, JHB
claimed it for the third year consecutively.<br />
The early class leader, Wynand Kleynhans<br />
(Yamaha), was a model of consistency<br />
and finished as the runner-up six times.<br />
Only four points separated him from Van<br />
Rooyen whose five consecutive race<br />
victories ensured him the title. Lodewyk<br />
Jansen van Vuren (KTM Centurion Liqui<br />
Moly Racing) was third; Bruce Viljoen<br />
(Doorzone Bikers Warehouse Husqvarna)<br />
finished fourth with Bruce May (Agrisales<br />
Peak Yamaha) fifth.<br />
Like the Senior Class, the youngsters in<br />
the High School Class also had a battle<br />
on their hands. Adriano Catalano (D&H<br />
Engineering Works Yamaha) took the<br />
early lead by winning the first two events,<br />
but it was the 2016 Junior Champion,<br />
Stefan van Deventer (Alfie Cox Junior<br />
KTM Racing) who took the title after being<br />
victorious at the next four races – mere<br />
seconds separated them most of the time<br />
– and Catalano finished in a consistent<br />
second place each time. Only four points<br />
separated them. André Basson (Yamaha)<br />
was third, only three points ahead of<br />
Maarten van Jaarsveld (Doorzone Bikers<br />
Warehouse Husqvarna) who was only two<br />
points ahead of Troy Sullivan (KTM).<br />
There was a fifth SA National<br />
Championship title for Wayne Farmer<br />
(Doorzone Bikers Warehouse Husqvarna)<br />
who made his debut in the Master Class<br />
this year. It was, however, not plain<br />
sailing as his arch rival, former Senior<br />
Class champion, Pieter Holl (KTM), was<br />
breathing down his neck. Holl won three<br />
times to finish second followed by Justin<br />
Broughton (Sherco SA Racing) with Lyle<br />
Roebert (Husqvarna) fourth and Harry<br />
Grobler (Yamaha) fifth.<br />
In the new 125cc Class, scholar Ryan<br />
Pelser (KTM) showed what he was made<br />
of by claiming three victories after a<br />
problematic start to the season that saw<br />
him not finishing the opening round. He<br />
took the title ahead of another scholar,<br />
Janco Pienaar (KTM) with the experienced<br />
Izak Mans (Droomers Yamaha) third after<br />
winning the opening round before ending<br />
the season off in the Master Class.<br />
Mans’ wife, Riki (Droomers Yamaha)<br />
battled it out with scholar Karen Jansen<br />
van Vuren (KTM) to take the title in the<br />
Ladies Class with Yanke Pieterse (KTM),<br />
who won three times, third. Riaan Prinsloo<br />
(Yamaha) took the Silver Class Inter<br />
Provincial Challenge title ahead of SJ<br />
Bester (VANS Racing Division KTM) with<br />
Hume Schönfeldt (Yamaha) third.<br />
KTM won the coveted Manufacturer’s<br />
Award ahead of Yamaha (second);<br />
Husqvarna (third); Sherco (fourth after their<br />
first season); Kawasaki and Honda.<br />
In the quad category, two former Dakar<br />
Rally participants won national titles.<br />
Hannes Saaijman (Yamaha), who finished<br />
in the top ten in the Dakar Rally in 2015,<br />
took the National Quad Championship title<br />
despite missing the opening round. He<br />
was followed by Johan Oosthuizen (VANS<br />
Racing Division Yamaha), who made his<br />
debut in the national series this year with<br />
André Park (Yamaha) rounding off the<br />
podium after winning the opening round,<br />
but then experiencing some problems<br />
during the season and could not finish two<br />
events.<br />
Gideon Jacobs (KTM) also won once<br />
and finished fourth with the defending<br />
champion, Brian Baragwanath (Proudly<br />
Bidvest Yamaha) fifth after only competing<br />
twice before an elbow injury in Botswana<br />
resulted in him having to call it a day to the<br />
rest of the season.<br />
George Twigge (Yamaha), who made<br />
the halfway mark at the Dakar Rally earlier<br />
this year, added a third Master Quad<br />
Class Championship to claim a hat trick of<br />
national titles. Stef Bester (VANS Racing<br />
Division Yamaha) scored five podium<br />
positions to finish as the runner-up after<br />
his first national season with another<br />
newcomer to the national series, Pierre van<br />
Heerden (Honda) third. Motsumi Lekone<br />
and Milton Thesen, both on Yamahas,<br />
finished fourth and fifth respectively.<br />
Morné Jansen van Vuren (Yamaha)<br />
took the High School title ahead of the<br />
defending champion, Keenan Hammon<br />
(Yamaha), who was injured halfway<br />
through the season while Megan Stander<br />
(Yamaha) was third.<br />
Yamaha is the winners of the<br />
Manufacturer’s Award followed by Honda<br />
and Suzuki.<br />
