A 1983 TT600 for a trans Africa Trip?
I want to travel from Egypt to South Africa by bike, I have low cash resources, and have come across a 1983 TT600 with the motor overhauled about 5000km ago (Price ZAR14,000/1000 pounds). Can I load it with about 30 - 40 kgs of equipment, is this bike as strong as the XT? Can I build racks onto the rear, and what is the best solution for a larger fuel capacity (11 litres standard)? Will it do the job, or am I barking up the wrong tree?
Your input would be appreciated. Thanks.
