I have a bit of experience travelling by car through Spain, France, Germany, Switzerland and Italy and this year i´m going to the North Kap still driving my car. I´ve never traveled by motorcycle but have made up my mind to buy a XTE next year and then I´m going to hit Africa, Moroco a couple of times and then a big journey through Africa (my dream).
I´ve read people talk about 6000 km trips in two weeks leaving from the UK including african pistes, my question is, what is your average speed crossing France and Spain? Do you think a Yamaha XTE can cope with that? And what about your average speed on african roads? What is the percentage of tarmac you are used to once in Africa in these trips?
