Sachs Madass proves it is no reason for a sore ass! December 01, 2008 Sachs Madass proves it is no reason for a sore ass!   Text courtesy of scootersales.com.au With funky design, amazing colours and very affordable pricing it is no surprise. Veteran Motorcycle Courier Nick Healey’s interest in the MadAss was sparked by its outrageous yet practical styling: a contemporary postie bike on steroids. He called the Sachs Australian importer Mojo Motorcycles Pty Ltd. with a proposal to swap his ailing CT110 for a MadAss to circumnavigate Australia. Nick left Melbourne aboard a bright yellow MadAss 125, heading north on the Hume highway. Through New South Wales and into Queensland the journey was plain sailing and without incident, the mad duo eating up the kilometers. On to central Australia and some sightseeing, roadside camping and on the Stuart Highway a “meet and greet” with a pet camel. A tyre change in Alice Springs, a service in Katherine, and then onwards north and west into Western Australia. Some well earned R&R in Broome before setting off southwards and into Perth. Between Balladonia and Mandura the MadAss got its best fuel economy of the whole trip, 2.07 litres per 100 kms. A pit stop in Pt Pirie for a service and on down into Adelaide where the wine belt north-east of Adelaide is always fabulous riding. Onwards to Melbourne, finally returning after 60 days in the saddle, unscathed, on a spectacularly sunny day in late October. Nick reckons “the fuel economy was outstanding returning an average of an amazing 2.76 litres per 100 kms over the 17,107 km journey (total fuel cost of just $576). The minimalist, eye-catching, naked styling turns heads wherever the bike goes. Amazingly the great riding position and well cushioned seat did not give me a sore “ass” and I should know after years astride a CT110 delivering parcels” Available in black, silver, white or yellow the Sachs MadAss 125, as ridden by Nick, is available from dealers all across Australia for just $2,990 plus ORC.
