I'd need to take it with me. Now, is that completely bad idea or just partially? :)
Never been to Morocco so I can rely only on youtube relation but it doesn't look that horrible to me, mostly gravel isn't it?
Not so long ago I thought I'd buy xt660z but after I've seen some horror stories about angine/gerbox failure I'll rather pass.

Hi,
You will be just fine on NC750X.
Last November I took my bike (Fazer 600 Naked) from the UK through France, Spain, Morocco, Mauritania, Mali, Burkina Faso, Togo, Benin, Nigeria, Cameroon, Chad and Sudan. I fell many times but was due to hesitation on sand and was never serious falls...it was a fantastic adventure.
Just one advice: Avoid SAND if you can. Morocco has good tarmac roads...but if you go on sand just don,t slow down, keep the accelerator going and you will be OK. Gravel is fine on straight runs, but avoid going fast round bends on gravel.
Good luck.
