I would never buy one, our roads here would crush its capability but in the flesh they are a work of art. You just need to ride it within its capabilities and accept what those may be. I try and always remind myself to judge a bike for "what it is" rather than "what it isn't".

True words.

I thank you all very much for your input, which is just as diverse and contrary as my own feelings. One moment I think I don't need that thing, next moment I bewonder the steam engine, the fine quality also in material, all metal, no plastic, the engineering in this machine, the simple design.

Well next week I will get one for one or two days, let's see if it can convince me on the road.

Ride the art Django.

Share your experiences and revised inner desires.

Good luck, Django!

I'm personally not so good in reviews, so let this guy speak for me:



"It got into my head and never got out of my head."

Friday finally I got my R18 handed over. It has a passenger seat now and a sissy bar. The exhaust is the genius one.
Why does it have to rain when I pick up my new motorbike?



Today I started to look a bit what's under the hood.

That is the way.

First thing to do when bringing home a new machine is to tear it down.

I see this often on the Africa Twin Forum.

To each their own, but I could not do that with a brand new bike.

Yeah.

But the upshot is we get an exclusive sweet view of those large, naked, black lungs courtesy of Django.
