Much prefer that Touratech jobbie. Parts bin, lash up, whatever. Works for me.
Bank manager approval? I can't even afford a bank manager!

As ek so vining na die syfers kyk is dit meer 'n stilerings verandering as 'n funksionele verandering (tussen die Rallye en die gewone GS). Maar ek dink dit lyk windgat (as julle nog die term kan onthou...) BMW kon dalk net die groter belly pan opgesit het. Dit sou beter by die nuwe look gepas het. Ek het nie gekyk na al die ander goed wat afwesig is by die Trophy nie (ESA ens) maar suiwer op looks sal ek ook gaan vir die Rallye. Maar ek sal nie my GSA daarvoor verruil nie. Vir die doel wat ek my bike gebruik kies ek enige dag gemak bo off-road abilities. Maar dit is my keuse...

As ek praat in die rigting van Rallye dan seg my vrou my gat juk.
Hoekom juk ons gatte so?

Dis jeuk. Maar vrouens is maar so. Hulle passie is meer vir goed wat lewe. En as jy my vra sal ek vir jou se daai goed is BAIE duurder as 'n nuwe bike.

I love the colours. The GS - oil cooled anyway - makes some nasty noises from the shaft when the going gets tough. Does the trophy do the same? I imagine so.

Not sure. It is made to move so maybe you are hearing when it reaches the bottom or top of the motion. What type of nasty noises? I do ride with earplugs mostly but i've never heard any weird/nasty noises. I think if you can hear those noises above the gravel / dirt and engine you might want to get it check out imho?

I think it is the lash in the final drive gearing that clunks a bit.

Ah if its that...well....yeah it's a BMW. They clunk in the shaft and the gear lever. "clunck gadunk vroooom!"

Nee wat. For 230K you can take the trophy, replace the suspension with proper aftermarket setup, kit out with proper crashbars, belly pan etc, and still have money left over to actually take it on a trip or 6... Rally looks great though...

The bike that has a better suspension, stripped of some bits, better 'lectronics, designed for more "hard-core" dirt roads, is actually KG HEAVIER than the LC Touring version??
