General Discussion / Beeline SatNav
« Last post by Neil955i on Today at 07:54:45 AM »
Frequently use the SatNav in cars, but on my bikes I've always been old school when it comes to finding my way i.e. maps before, route notes drawn up and then followed - or not!

Then I saw this and did some research.  https://beeline.co/collections/beeline-moto

Decided I'm too tight to fork out the full price and then lighted on this bargain:  https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/335409402225


Have to say after a 100 mile round trip yesterday, I'm a convert.  Works as intended and takes all the stress out of route finding.  Now just need to supplement the basic device with a £20 universal bracket for the windshield - photos will follow when installed.

yes YTZ14, original Taiwanese battery was only 7ah, the YTZ12 is the replacement I got under warranty

Yuasa have always proved reliable and long-lived in my experience.  My go to battery brand.

My nephew bought a Mahindra, I think it was also 48 HP. It broke a lot.  Sold it for a healthy loss.  The dealer he got it from switched brands, went to Montanas I think.

I seem to remember reading  that worldwide, Mahindra's are the #1 tractor brand(they sell a lot in Asia)

TYMs are gaining in popularity, getting close to Kioti sales in the US

The Kukje diesel in getting good reviews, no fancy ECU controlling, simple mechanical FI

Nope, not a Mahindra, it's  TYM,  model 474HC, 48hp, 6000 lbs.   looked at Mahindra's, too much cast and not enuf forged steel imho, TYM has good promotion now, 3.99% is less than inflation, it's like free money, and good discounts from msrp too.

Been riding Guzzis since 1984. Went to a scooter a couple years ago because of leg & back issues. We still have 2. They last pretty much forever if taken care of. If I could buy a new one tomorrow it would be a Guzzi.
