like all euro bikes, in a few years time, reliability and cost of repair makes them a bad choice

No evidence of that, I know many DesertX owners, not one has said they are un-reliable. the Ducati L Twin has been around since the 70's, tried and proven beast.

I've been searching for decent, affordable soft luggage for my R1200GS...I refuse to buy from China or Chinese ebay sellers; Not my thing at all; I'm heading to the site now; Good onya Kurt; I'm sure you'll get support from me. PS; nothing wrong with being 'you' on the camera mate; Public speaking is never easy but you pretty much nailed it.

Hi jack, was based of many different models of luggage. We have added and removed items and built them to our spec. Those other bags were based off another US brand originally. Nomad Moto is quality built without the price tag.

Good one, Kurt! Looking forward to seeing and using the Nomad Moto range of gear. From what I've seen so far, it looks top shelf and well suited to the tough Aussie conditions 💪. Ps - you do fine in front of the camera mate 👍

Thanks for posting this- I rode the loop yesterday and it was really good. The Wombeyan Caves Road past the river is supposedly closed but is ok- it was bone dry; may be interesting if it gets wet. The Brayton Road through Swallow Tail Pass is also a an enjoyable section.

Had great time this year Just a my grip was the catering Meal size For the price we paid Was not worth it And to be told by the Chief to move on. Saying that our group were not the only ones in saying that about the Catering But everything else was great Looking forward to next year 👍
@aussieadvrider2 ай бұрын
Thanks for the feedback, it was all round, I had pre warned the caterers simple 3 meats, colesaw and patato salad and vegetarian gluten free option. That's it, they went and created their own menu. They did not pay us to be there, nor did we make any money from the catering, we handed it over to make it seamless. Didn't workout. 2025 we will have a food truck with Pizzas, pay as you go and the caterer has listened. I told them LOTS of food. Not fancy ale carte.

Great review, most of the other reviews focused on the pavement performance or on the harder off-road sections of tracks. You did a great job showing how the everyday back road riding would be on the cfmoto. Probably going to buy this in the spring here in the states. Was considering a used crf 300 rally which I really like but I’m a little aggressive for it in stock form. The amount of money I would spend to get the rally up to standard would easily buy the 450 mt/ibex and have a little left over.

Great hacks! Thanks. With the can, I attached a piece of cord to mine. With it, I can lower the can to the ground and position it under the stand before I get off. I then wrap the cord around the bars. When I'm taking off, I can do the reverse, simply grab the cord and pull the can out from under the stand.
