    Samanjo, what bike is that, can't see so well from here, Triumph Tiger?

    I'm a fellow enthusiast from Cape Town with a 2011 BMW F800GS, that has seen a lot of the Western & Eastern Cape + Southern Namibia.

    Just got back from a little trippie to the Drakensburg did just over 1400km in three days was absolutely bliss!

    I have a Yamaha Teneré 660Z eats whatever road I throw at it with a smile.

    After I zoomed way i to your pic, I could make out that it actually looks like a 2015 F800GS.
    The crash bars were a bit misleading. Which ones are they?

    You're def riding the right machine there

    More pics?

    She is a 2013 F800 and a pleasure to ride
    I used to ride an XT660R but I am so happy I made the move to a parallel twin....long stretches of tar is now actually a pleasure to ride
    The 660R only had a 5 speed gearbox and the revs were quite high when travelling highway speed

    Spent a year in the Western Cape and bought a BMW for commuting and adventure touring. Saw so many beautiful places and the people were very biker friendly. Without it i would not seen a fraction of the beautiful western cape.
