Hi guys
I have a budget of about R45K for a bike and came across two bikes that I'm realy keen on.
BMW 650 Dakar 2005 model with 17000Km on clock
Honda Africa twin 1999 model with 54000Km on clock

Both bikes in mint condition, both in my price range. I'm leaning towards the BMW just because it is far closer for me to fetch. Can one compare them or is there a clear winner???? ??? ???

Any suggestions will be welcome!
Thanks.
