It seems a lot of the manufacturers are making these kiddies bikes at the moment but a lot of them won’t last very long due to the construction materials used. KTM realized this and made this version with a real steel frame that will even support a chubby drunken dad, maybe.

It also has genuine pneumatic tyres, hand guards, fully adjustable seat and ‘official’ WP suspension stickers. Unfortunately the matching super cool KTM cycle helmet is not part of the deal but a necessary purchase all the same, especially for the inevitable hammered father.

A posh and decent timepiece says a lot about the man who wears it, or that’s what women say. So, if you’re looking to impress the ladies by a mere twist of the wrist then these new beauties should impress them so much that they might just discard certain bits of clothing.

They’re called the Navigator and Expedition, names that will impress the gals even more, or maybe not. Both are of the highest quality and officially branded by Triumph, which is a timeless name already.

Not cheap but posh stuff never is, right?

Price: R3,069 each.  Go to www.fourwaysmotorcycles.co.za for contact details.

This has to be the most versatile helmet ever made. Shark designers spent many hours away from the pub to come up with this fancy full carbon adventure helmet.

We say ‘adventure helmet’ lightly, because in this form it most certainly looks like one, right? But, if you take off the goggles you’ll find an internal drop down visor hidden inside the forehead for touring purposes when you can also remove the peak for less high-speed hindrance. Or you can have hours of fun by ‘mix and match’ the parts and come up with a weird combination, MX, adventure or road use…

So if you’re confused about which helmet to buy – this Shark Xplore-R covers everything you might need.

Price: R6,500   Go to www.langstonmotorsports.co.za  to find your nearest Shark dealer and also visit www.shark-helmets.com to see their full range.
