"clip-ons" ? you mean pannier brackets ?
Yes, standard South African imported version currently comes with pannier brackets, ABS, spokes, heated grips, handlebar protectors and cylinder head protectors (still to be fitted, in the plastic bag). The panniers and topbox is currently been fitted and the bike fueled up and checked.

No, he was making a joke "Clip ons" are those silly little pointing down handlebars you get on race bikes - in the photos the bars on your new bike are not mounted properly and look a bit like "clip ons".

Congrats on the new bike, hope you enjoy it, you git!! (that was a joke too)

 

[jonboy]

No I was jokingly referring to the handlebars, which during transportation are swivelled down as in your photos. They look a little like the sporty "clip-on" bars used on sportsbikes.

Congrats on the bike!

Do you get to keep the crate..?!

Another question; why do you get heated grips in south africa...?!

> Do you get to keep the crate..?!
sure, I'll just pop them in the expandable panniers, one never knows when you may need a 3 meter crate

> Another question; why do you get heated grips in south africa...?!
It's not always sunny :sunshine in South Africa as many people think. We have at least a week of cold weather with ice and snow in a year well in some parts anyway...

Oh do enjoy.

Only a month for mine to arrive.

I'm like a kid before Christmas :farxmas:

PS any reason you went for the slower red one?

Top answers! But, I didn't know that UK and South Africa had the same weather... (I'm from Finland, so my frame of reference is a bit different )

PS, Fastest and coolest colour is Blue (otherwise you got it right with the black-black-spokes )

Nah. It's black. Everybody knows that. That's why an immediate respray upon delivery is called for.
