Is this a very small motorbike or an exceptionally large helmet? Well it’s neither because what you’re looking at is an incredibly detailed model of BMW’s top-class superbike, but it’s so accurate it’s hard to tell the difference.

It has working suspension, folding footrest and even a set of miniature keys – nice, eh?

So, if you desire to own a S1000RR but don’t have the R200,000+ to buy one, then this is without doubt the next best thing. Not so much a toy as a very accurate reproduction in every way.

Price: R1,100    Call: BMW Lyndhurst Auto (011 430 3000) and ride away on your dream machine today, well sort of.      www.bmw-lyndhurstauto.co.za

We all know that Metzeler make some of the best motorcycle tyres in the world, but did you know they also produce similar quality scooter tyres, probably not? Well you do now because of these very cool looking ME 7 Teen tyres sitting pretty on Bill’s ‘oldish’ Jonway Veterano.

He recently fitted these onto this particular scooter and had nothing but praise for them. More grip x 10, better stability, which is a good thing with a Chinese machine and a much, much smoother ride – says Bill.

They’re also now used on many ‘race’ scooters in SA, which says a lot about the construction and again, tremendous grip of the ME 7 Teen rubber, which is what you’d expect anyway from a company as profound as Metzeler, right?

So if you have any scooter, including the infamous Yamaha BWS, then you just have to buy a set right now and come away as impressed as Bill is, and that’s very hard to do, believe us!

Price: R530 each.   Go to www.ampsa.co.za to find your nearest Metzeler dealer.

Also have a trip to www.metzeler.com to see the full range for all motorcycles.

It’s been a long wait, but the genuine and official 2015 Valentino Rossi VR-46 clothing range is now in South Africa and up for sale, and we’ll guarantee that even this large shipment will sell out very quickly, because it always does.

As you can see, from the four images, this entire range caters for all ages – granddad to tiny baby, which is nice and considerate and obviously not too cheap either.

So, if you’re a big fan of the famous curly-haired GP dude then you’ll probably want something that’s on offer here? But Bill still prefers Lorenzo’s kit because he’s winning at the moment – how shallow is that?

Natalie looks very happy, for once, to be wearing this splendid 2015 Berik leather jacket, from their race department. She especially likes the lack of those silly ‘speed humps’ on the back, which only needs to be found on full leather race suits, so this particular jacket can be worn for any occasion.

Inside you’ll find full and patented body armour to protect your pointy bits, but without doubt the best thing about the 2.0 is the dramatic choice of colours, which Natalie and we adore.

Funny how we haven’t seen Natalie, or the jacket, since these photos were taken though…

Price: R5,720     Call: Promotion Products (011 708 7721) to find your closest Berik dealer.
