Motocycle's climbing ability?
Hello!
I'm complete newbie in moto world, never ever ridden a bike let alone off road, but I'm thinking doing my next trip on a bike instead of car (I have Defender 90). What I would like to know is how and if bikes like Suzuki DR-Z400S or BMW 650 GS Dakar can climb small hilly 4x4 tracks like these in Kaokoland, Namibia (some pretty steep ascents, I mean these small 4x4 tracks that are not on usual road maps)? I see 4x4 has low gear and it is fun to climb slowly but can bikes generally drive these routes or it is too much to ask? I understand that skillful driver is major asset but perhaps there are still some technical limitations too, or not?
Thanks!
Ahto
