DRZ400e or CRF250L for south America
Hi
I have just got back from a trip Cairns to Broome and back about 10,000k I rode a DRZ400 and girlfriend rode a DRZ250 both bikes went well. Although the fuel economy on the DRZ400 was not very good worse than my Vstrom 650 I got 17 kilometres per lt on some parts and averaged just under 20 kpl. I liked travelling light.
I am thinking of doing a trip to South America and trying to work out which would be the best bike to take a DRZ 400 or CRF250L I have never ridden a CRF250L but like the idea of better fuel economy and fuel injection my only worry is is the bike underpowered for me I weight about 80kg with out gear. Also what are parts and service like for the 2 bikes in SA.
Many thanks
Nick
