yamaha XT600 VS XTZ TENERE for Africa-adventure
Hello dear XT-lovers,
I'm planning another trip to Africa. Previous adventures done with suzuki DR650 ( www.crossingtheborder.be) and with Honda XR650. This time I like to travel with a Yamaha XT or Teneré. Both bikes are looking good for this kind of trip but i don't know which one to choose.
The XT600: lighter
The Teneré: standard bigger fueltank, better suspensions and seat?
We are planning to do as much as possible offroadtracks and pieces of desert. That's why i'm thinking that the lighter option is the smartest choice, otherwise the better equiped Teneré is handy also.
In case that the XT600 is the better choice: better a model of the 90-ties or is a newer model (from 2004-...)?
Is there anybody who has ridden both bikes on an overland trip?
Or somebody who has an opinion about this?
