⚡ 3,200 KM. 2,000 KM OF RED DIRT GRAVEL. ONE ABSOLUTE BEAST. ⚡
"The CJ is an absolute beast that never misses a beat... I told you that I would put the motorbike to the test and it passes with flying colours. It gets used for what it is intended for. Sturdy, strong and really reliable." (Jochen L, 28 September 2026)
Recently returned from a trek through some of Western Australia’s remote outback country, Jochen's epic route took him off the grid for two weeks:
📍 Perth ➡️ Mullewa ➡️ Wooramel River Gorge ➡️ Gascoyne Junction ➡️ Kennedy Ranges ➡️ Mount Augustus ➡️ Meekatharra ➡️ Walga Rock ➡️ Jurien Bay ➡️ and back to Perth.
Then he backed it up last week, with another 1,500 km on-road run winding down through Collie, Denmark, Walpole, and up Caves Road to Yallingup. 🌊🏍️
Jochen transformed his machine into the ultimate self-sufficient overland setup:
• The Heart: The ultra-reliable 693cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine didn't miss a beat under the hot WA sun.
• The Suspension: Upgraded Shock Factory dampers soaked up punishing outback corrugations while keeping the sidecar tracking perfectly stable.
• Off-Grid Power: A 120Ah lithium battery tucked low into the sidecar footwell (keeping the centre of gravity perfect), charged by the bike’s alternator and a solar blanket to power an Engel fridge and CPAP machine for 14 days straight.
• Self-Recovery: An electric winch mounted to the sidecar step and mini Maxtrax bolted to the exterior, ready for any sand or mud the tracks could throw at him.
