Across Africa on what???
Hi , I am now in Johannesburg , South Africa in exploration stage for the right motorcycle to ride across Africa.
i'm an enduro rider and racer and would try to ride as much off road as i can during my trip.
My budget is up to 80000 Rand [ 7500$ ]
I am debating between the BMW F800gs which I'm most attracted to but if any thing goes wrong out side of South Africa than i'm screwed.
To the Tenere660 which Considered to be reliable and suitable for Africa.
i'm also considering taking a more simple, carbureted bike like DR, KLR or XR so if some thing goes wrong i can fix it on the way.
my heart goes for the BMW but the brain wants it simple.
what do you think??
can the F800 survive the continent?
thank you.
