Change a f650gs for Dakar?
Hi all, myself and a good friend have been planning a RTW trip of the Northern hemisphere for this time next year, across US/ Canada into Russia and back through Mongolia and Easter Europe. We have been around the block and back trying to choose a bike and at present we both own f650gs with various farkles and luggage racks etc. As such it makes sense to do it on these bikes but what I'm wondering is whether or not it would be advisable to try and trade our two f650gs for two f650gs dakar bikes.
Is the 21" front hoop and extra suspension travel worth the hassle of having to trade in our bikes that we've both owned since new. Both are low mileage i.e. under 5k.
Would really appreciate any info or endorsements from people who have been through rough terrain on the regular 19" f650gs.
Thanks in advance.
