It’s not the Honda, honestly how much of that bike do you really think relates to a Honda? All the geometry, all the angles, rakes, linkage ratios, suspension, suspension ratios, linkages etc nothing would be unadjustable it could and I bet is adjusted to feel like any bike out there. The engine would produce the same power or more than anything else there. How long to you think Reed can stay at the top? If they didn’t lose it Jeff Ward would still be there racing Bob “Hurricane” Hannah. If its a bike thing well why isn’t Bubba still winning, THEY GET OLD :pinch:

Reeds old, sorry facts are facts it happens to us all

There have been instances where the low front guard has clogged with mud or clay while riding and also of the mud causing the front wheel to lock up when the mud has come free after drying up causing accidents.

I have now done over 65,000 on my Teneres and only had to remove my front guard once ( the other time I did and swapped it for the high guard mid trip your were there and I need not have bothered it really wasnt needed ) as I was saying the only other time I took it off the rear wheel locked up because of the mud before the front.

Experience has shown with the high guard

Radiator gets full of mud and shit of the front tyre. Radiator, water pump hose, rectifier, coolant bottle all are an easy target for rocks from the front wheel and get damaged. Mud throws over the front, when in the sand and standing sand seem to come over the front
Couldn’t seem to get a good fit with the tie down hook and you struggle to tie them down with out the hook with straps rubbing on body work

I am not saying don’t do it, I like the low guards :laugh: do you know why Dakar bikes run low guards (and Jtb they don’t sit there with mud in the guard waiting for a truck load of frogs to scrap the mud out :blink: ) so why do they run low guards?

Been watching this for a while Jacko, it’s an interesting thing with the discontinued BMW engine detuned to 40hp from 50 odd detuned to increase the service intervals and make it last. Electronic rear suspension 130 kgs dry :huh:

They sell a heap of extras including and engine update kit, only thing at the moment is talk that they could be worth $17k Aus  :ohmy: but I reckon it’s to early to say. Still with the dollar dropping.
