1 Auto Alpina Motorrad Wins Again!!!! The annual RFS National Motorcycle Economy Run was held this weekend in the splendour of Mpumalanga, with the overnight rests at the Hotel Numbi on Hazyview. The event hosted by the Pretoria Motor Club was well attended by some 95 entries and started at the Rose Haven Excel Garage just outside Pretoria. The first day covered just over 500 kilometres and the second day took in 300 kilometres of the stunning scenery and roads that Mpumalanga has to offer. The contestants are all handed a route schedule and the object is to cover the allotted route in the prescribed time, with fuel penalties handed out for those that arrive late. The idea is to get the riders to achieve a certain average speed, this year the route total average worked out to 100 Km/h. Needless to say the objective is to use as little gas as possible over the route. Auto Alpina Dealer Principal Denver (Tazzman) Biggs took first place overall on the newly launched X Country, whilst his BoxerCup team mate and rider Reg (Reguit) Gurnell came through in second overall on the X Moto. The X Country took a class win in Dual Purpose bikes up to 700cc, whilst the X Moto took its class in street bikes up to 700cc. Auto Alpina Sales Exec Steve Langham brought the 800S in 6 th overall and a class win in Street Bikes cc, with Workshop Foreman Justin Seager bringing home a F650GS Dakar to a credible 8 th overall and second place in the dual purpose class behind Denver.

2 BMW in general triumphed, as they took 5 of the top ten placings and had 44 out of the 86 finishers. They also had five winners out of the nine classes, with the Touring, Pillion and Smaller Dual Purpose bikes looking like BMW benefit classes! The winning consumption of Lt/100Kms proved how frugal the new X Country and X Moto bikes really are, and I think this will allay all fears about the fact that the fuel tank is 9.5 litres. The closest Japanese competitors ended up using almost a litre and a half more fuel over the event. With a consumption of Lt/100kms the F800S also proved how great on gas this little performer is. Interesting to note that after the event Denver and Reg were obviously tired of putting around slowly and decided to give the bikes a wind on the famous Sabi-Hazyview 22 and Long Tom passes the bikes were un-matched. Their corner speed and handling were out of this world, real exceptional road holding that bigger superbikes couldn t come near matching in the twisties. Awesome little motorcycles these G series are! The only class that we just cannot get a win in is the big dual purpose bike class, but I don t think there will be any prices for guessing that Denver WILL be mounted on a R800GS for next years event!
