London- Dakar on 3 XR400s
Hi there,
Without trying to sound too naive and unprepared, two friends and I are planning a trip next july/august through France and Spain before attempting to follow the 2006 Lisbon- Dakar route on 3 XR400s through morocco/mauritania. If anyone is willing to help I have a few questions!
(1) Is this a good route?!! We're only 18 but are looking for a challenge..and want to make the trip last roughly 6 weeks
(2) The budget is roughly £5000 each, is this too high/low?
(3) Bikewise, how expensive should the modifications be? obviously we're not going to buy the whole touratech catalogue, but basics like new fuel tank/shock absorber etc..
Thanks in advance,
Tom
