Africa on a Yamaha DT175???
What's everyone's thoughts on the DT175?
I've been living in Malawi for 2 yrs now and never had any problems with it. Aside from fuel capacity, that is, and of course fuel availability here in Malawi
After lots of thought of what to move up to for a trip around Africa, I'm wondering if it could be done on the 175. Obviously it would need some mods, but the fact that parts are available in almost any town in africa has to count for something.
Some more info for you, I'm 5'8, 150lbs with a 30" inseam. I've done some touring around Canada on a Honda Shadow 750, and have a YZ125 that I use for dirt fun, unfortunately both are in Canada sitting in storage
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks
