If you haven't got a blank cheque I'd be looking at something a lot cheaper and simple. Especially as you say you want to go off the beaten track in South America.
Don't forget that dreaded Hall Effect sensor. Carry a spare. And lower coils if you have a twin spark. I'd carry a spare bearing and seals for the rear too. There are people in South America who can fix them. Like Javier at Dakar Motos.
Proper heavy bike though isn't it. And the stock rear shock is junk...
"No money, No Honey" kind of girls ??? haha.
If a women is more into a Shiny bling than the character and charms of a weathered and well travelled trail bike, then she ain't no woman for me

Yeah, don't know, kinda new to me, lots of GSA's where i live, most girls, females don't like them, think, mostly get most compliments on my 03LD, or previously on the RD07, or HD electra glide, that wasn't mine though, but my employers bike, which i could use commute back and forth to work, lovely bike once you get used to it

New to Horizons Unlimited?

Horizons Unlimited was founded in 1997 by Grant and Susan Johnson following their journey around the world on a BMW R80G/S.
Read more about Grant & Susan's story
Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
