I love the Dakar in the city. Upright position allows you to see all the cars coming at you. Wide handlebars, light wieght, makes it easy to maneuver between cars, broken pavement, cows, etc.

I test rode the Dakar for a day in London and was very happy with it's performance in the city. I was very comfortable on it and enjoyed the town riding.
If I had more money than sense, I would consider buying the GS road version as a commuter bike, but as I don't, my first choice as an all rounder is my KTM. |
