(In Case of Emergency – Camera Accident Motorbike Surveillance) Article: Johann van Tonder Photos: Andre van Tonder While Ultimate Drive usually test cars and bikes, sometimes we also get to test some pretty nifty accessories.

Ducati Multistrada A bike for many roads. Article and Photos: Brian Cheyne
Posted by Zadmin2 First Drive, Motorcycles, Ultimate Ride
There is an old adage that says you should never meet your idol – you might be disappointed. Well, I have always been a huge fan of the Ducati Multistrada. It epitomizes everything I want in a bike. Upright seating position, long distance touring capabilities and fun in the twisties. This is a very difficult […]

The BMW R 1200 GS Adventure is the first LEGO Technic model to be created in cooperation with a motorcycle manufacturer. “BMW Motorrad approached LEGO Group with the idea of a collaboration because the two companies have much in common: they both successfully combine innovation and tradition in their brands and products, providing unforgettable experiences […]
Biking in Eden Exploring the Soutern Cape Passes
Over the last decade the biking scene has seen a massive shift towards Adventure biking. The rise of the Dual Sport bike has opened up a whole new world for the biker with a sense of adventure. South Africa, and specifically the Southern Cape Region with it’s wealth of historic passes, represent something close to […]
Toy Run 2016 ‘n reuse sukses.
Posted by Zadmin2 General News, Motorcycles, Ultimate Ride
Artikel en Fotos: Johann van Tonder Vanuit Oudtshoorn, Mosselbaai, Knysna en Plett het hulle aangerol gekom soos donderweer. Honderde motorfietse gelaai met glimlagte en speelgoed. Die jaarlikse Suid Kaap Toy Run, ‘n motorfiets saamtrek waarin motorfiets entoesiaste hulle harte oop maak vir minder bevoorregte kinders, is op Sondag 27 November in George deur […]
A Coded Christmas for Wolwedans Crèche Article and Photos: Johann van Tonder It all started with an e-mail from Heilette Schutte, a social worker from Groot Brak. Working in a small town like Groot Brak has it’s challenges. When it comes to support and donations small towns are easily overlooked. It was a desperate […]
SYM Wolf SB250Ni Article & Photos: Brian Cheyne
Posted by Zadmin2 First Drive, Latest Launches, Road Tests, Ultimate Ride
It seems that manufacturers are stuck for design ideas when it comes to their small capacity commuters. The bikes look dated with old technology abounding. Well, SYM did not get the memo. Their latest offering is a thoroughly modern bike that actually looks good too. It is called the SYM Wolf SB250Ni. It adds flavour […]
BMW R nineT Scrambler Article: Brian Cheyne Photos: Johann van Tonder
The Americans probably have a society that chooses their terms based on the opposite of what the rest of the world calls it. The word Scrambler in South African terms means off-road machines with high mudguards and insane suspension travel. The Americans though, uses the term to describe a motorcycle used in beach and mountain […]
Suzuki V-Strom DL1000 Article and Photos: Brian Cheyne
My eerste kennismaking met ‘n motorfiets was agterop Deon se Suzuki 1000GS. Ek was baie klein en het verbete vasgehou. Die eerste motorfiets wat ek self gery het was ook ‘n Suzuki. ‘n AC50. Gaan kyk gerus in die HAT onder “stylloos”. Daar is ‘n prentjie van die AC50. Maar dit het my geleer wat […]
Harley-Davidson Road King Artikel en Fotos: Johann van Tonder
Die naam is net so indrukwekkend soos die fiets. Dis ‘n Harley-Davidson FLHR Road King. In ‘n glimmer-groen en met baie chroom. Die styl en stilering is ou-skool en onmiskenbaar Amerikaans. Dis asof jy verwag om ‘n vlag vol sterre en strepe op die tenk te sien. En as jy jou been oorgooi, voel jy […]
Toy Run 2016 27 November – George
Dis weer sulke tyd! Tyd vir die jaarlikse Toy Run. Die Suid Kaap Toy Run word elke jaar in ‘n ander Suid Kaapse dorp gehou en hierdie jaar is George aan die beurt. Die gewilde liefdadigheid-geleentheid groei elke jaar en die motorfietsryers maak hul harte en beursies oop om kinderharte in die feestyd verbly.
BMW R 1200 GS 2016 Concrete Jungle Dopamine Rush, or? By Dante Gous
It would appear that Carl Wernicke’s (a German physician, anatomist, psychiatrist and neuropathologist) work inspired Arvid Carlsson tremendously. Carlsson, a Swedish Nobel Laureate pharmacologist better known as the father of Dopamine, seemingly influenced the BMW manufacturers with objective precision. The “feel good rush” created by the R1200GS is in many an eye unmatched in the […]
Kawasaki Vulcan S All you need! Article and Photos: Brian Cheyne
Hollywood gets a lot of stick for being out of touch with reality. Pistols with an endless supply of bullets. Bikers that can get on a cruiser and just ride for days without so much as clean pair of underpants and still look fresh at the end of a week’s ride. Maybe it has to […]
Harley-Davidson Night Rod Special Artikel en Fotos: Johann van Tonder
Posted by Zadmin2 First Drive, Motorcycles, Road Tests, Ultimate Ride
In 2001 het Harley-Davidson ‘n opwindende nuwe reeks tot hulle motorfiets modelle bygevoeg, die V-Rods. Hierdie nuwe reeks was radikaal verskillend van Harley-Davidson se bestaande reekse. Met ‘n moderne styl en ‘n hoëverrigtingenjin (wat Harley-Davidson saam met Porsche ontwikkel het) het hierdie fiets net een doel voor oë gehad – versnelling! Terwyl sommige van die […]
Every Wednesday evening the bikers of George gather for a quick ride and some fellowship around a hot cup of coffee. The event was the brain child of Anthony Divaris of the Renegades Motorcycle Club.
Kawasaki H2 Supersoniese kuns op wiele! Brian Cheyne
Ek onthou my eerste kennismaking met ‘n superfiets. So blou monster wat net nie sy voorwiel op die grond kon hou nie. Nukkerige ding. Vandag staan ek voor die nukkerigste een van hulle almal. Kawasaki se H2. Hierdie fiets dra Kawasaki se ‘River mark’, en dit beteken dat die fiets die werk is van die […]
BMW S1000XR Johann van Tonder
Posted by Zadmin2 General News, Latest Launches, Motorcycles, Ultimate Ride
Toe BMW destyds die eerste X6 bekend gestel het, het mense gewonder waar presies pas die voertuig in? Dis ‘n sportnuts, maar nie een wat jy graag van die teer af sou vat nie. Dis ‘n verrigting motor, maar te groot, hoog en swaar om met die regte sportmotors saam te praat. Die X6 wou […]
BMW R nineT Artikel en Fotos: Johann van Tonder
Minder as ‘n dekade gelede was BMW, as motorfietsvervaardiger, net nog ‘n fabrikaat. Behalwe vir hul gewilde GS avontuurmotorfietse was daar nie juis motorfietse wat uitgestaan het nie. Gemiddelde padfietse, gemiddelde toerfietse, met die fokus definitief op hul weelde motorvoertuie.
SYM MAXSYM 600i ABS Symply Super Surprise! Article & Photos: Bryan Cheyne
The running gag in our family when we go out to dinner, is my wife’s way of scanning the entire menu and then always ordering the chicken salad. As a journalist I get to sample the entire menu and not just the chicken salad. Diehard brand loyalists will never get to experience the delectable cuisine […]
Kawasaki Versys 650 Brian Cheyne
As motorfietsryer word my opinie gereeld gevra as mans hulle middeljare bereik en die vryheid van hul prille jeug wil herleef. “Wat is die beste motorfiets om te kry as ek net weer wil terugkom in die ding?” So asof “die ding” hierdie elite klub is waarna almal streef.
SA Motorfiets Fees Johann van Tonder
Posted by Zadmin2 Motorcycles, Motorshow, Ultimate Ride
Die eerste Suid Afrikaanse Motorfiets Fees is onlangs by Kyalami gehou. Die nuwe Fees, gereel deur Clarion Events van die Verenigde Koningkryk, beloof om nou ‘n jaarlikse instelling te word. Die fees is gehou oor ‘n periode van drie dae by die nuut geboude Kyalami resiesbaan waar motorfiets geesdriftiges selfs die kans gehad het om […]
Die Legende is hier! Honda Africa Twin Johann van Tonder
Om ‘n legende te laat herleef is nie maklik nie. In 1984 het Honda besluit om ‘n motorfiets te bou met ‘n enkele doel in gedagte: om te kompeteer in die lang afstand wedren genaamd die Paris-Dakar.

Albert Einstein het opgemerk dat almal geniaal is, maar as jy ‘n vis meet aan sy vermoë om boom te klim sal hy sy hele lewe glo dat hy dom is.By die bekendstelling van die Honda NC750X moes ek myself mooi kondisioneer om die fiets te oordeel aan die doel van sy bestaan.
Honda Africa Twin – ‘n Legende Herleef – Johann van Tonder
Posted by Zadmin2 First Drive, Latest Launches, Motorcycles, Motoring News, Road Tests, Ultimate Ride
Om ‘n legende te laat herleef is nie maklik nie. Die dag wat Michael Schumacher se seun, Mick, op die wegspring streep in ‘n formula 1 motor sit sal hy nie kan voorgee dat die van op die kant van sy motor niks beteken nie. Die verwagting wat so ‘n legendariese naam dra is hoog. […]
Honda MSX 125 Grom Johann van Tonder

Honda MSX 125 Grom Johann van Tonder Elke familie behoort een te hê! Die klein Honda Grom, ‘n 125cc motorfiets wat herhinder aan die Honda Ape en Monkey motorfietse van vroeër jare, is net soveel pret en so veelsydig dat elke lid van die familie rede sal soek om hom te ry.
