Haha just noticed that you allready bought an african twin. A clear case of read before you write....
Good luk with your trip.
And when the Twin brakes down
I'd go with the XT600. There lot's of cheap spareparts available. Especialy in Brazil. Make sure that the back monoshock is in good condition. A good monoshock is hard to find, the standard one is not build for taking a lot off cargo like panniers etc.
I just completed my second SA trip on a XT600 Z tenere 1990. 75.000 km More than half off-road. No problems with the bike.
As is many cities in South America the motorcycle shops are situated around a couple off streats. Looked through our travellog but can't find the streatname.
good luck
