That's my Africa Twin and my Dad's GS!!moto al wrote: One old one new, the old one cost me £7300 in 1993. The new one £10,450 2016. Now what's the best value. My both bikes are the same colour (thumbs) as pic
http://xladv.com/topic/624-honda-crf1000l-problems/I am very sad to say that my love affair with the Honda CRF1000 is all but over. This bike rides like a dream on road and off, has an amazing engine and suspension and over all is very comfortable. But you cannot build an Adventure/ dual sport bike with foot pegs mounts that are such a disaster and expect to have success. I am completely unconfident to ride it off road after the peg mount snapped of on a very low speed low intensity impact. The replacement part is very complicated and expensive and impossible to make a field repair too. I must say that Carl's Cycle Sales and Honda North America did take care of the issue and cudos to them. I hope that Honda redesigns this part and makes it available to the owners. Until then be very careful when riding the twisties as the pegs will drag easily and the dirt as the mounts are not durable
Have you got a search set up on your computer that highlights every problem Worldwide with certain bikes? You're a bit obsessed with AT issues and it's looking decidedly unhealthy.robson wrote:I haven't heard that one yet:

it's really easy, if you're not interested in bikes features and problems unsubscribe from motorcycle forums.AndyB wrote: Have you got a search set up on your computer that highlights every problem Worldwide with certain bikes?

And a AT from 11 years ago will look just as good as your GSA.johnnyboxer wrote:Bloody hell Al, my 60000 mile BMW 1150 GSA, which is 11 years old looks far better than your AT
My spokes are shiny, shiny
....and people say BMW quality is crap
I'm only really interested in problems with bikes I own or I'm considering buying but I wouldn't buy any new Honda even if they made what looked to be the perfect bike and because I was convinced they were a bad company to deal with about 35 years ago.robson wrote:it's really easy, if you're not interested in bikes features and problems unsubscribe from motorcycle forums.AndyB wrote: Have you got a search set up on your computer that highlights every problem Worldwide with certain bikes?
