I know few Algerian guys who did the crossing from Djanet to Tam on motorcycles. a groupe of 5 and a guy who did it solo all on 1200GS
They struggled a lot, but it is doable.
There is also a known Qatari traveler who did it on a smaller bike (I think a triumph 500?) but he was escorted throughout the whole journey in Algeria (high profile)
I’ve also heard that a section of the road has already been prepared for asphalt… but don’t know how much … my guess in few years it will be open and easy for all …
There has been a lot of progress and road development in the past few years,
One which is a new road RN 118 of approx 400km crossing the western erg between Elbenoud and Tinerkouk, this section has no pétrole station, no cell phone coverage…
