Hello woefies
Lurking in the shadows long time now waiting and saving and waiting and saving and finally in the market for a decent re-entry adventure bike.
Honesty - budget for bike R35k and R5k for immediate gear (helmets x 2 adult and 1 x child)
So this leads me to limited albeit reasonable choices: 2008-2011 KLR and 2002-2006 Dakar all with similar mileage varying from 25k to 80k. Some with extras and some with none but most importantly paperwork in order.
Purpose is a daily to travel around 80-100km pd which could be town and some highway or some town and mostly highway and then the occasional weekend get the "F out of Town". I travel from Randburg to Denver almost everyday... So time in traffic for me is a killer and if I can save a few rand in fuel then that's a cherry bonus! For context my current daily is a 2005 D3 V8 with >305k on the clock [emoji3061]
So in short if I can have some real input and advise from owners that have had the luxury of both for some constructive criticism and input please.
Many thanks
Jack
