Paris-Dakar 2020
Hi Folks,
Im planning a Trip from Paris -> Dakar in 2020 and looking for a mate.
Honestly i dont have a good bike for that now ( actually a cbf 1000) but im thinking about a 800 GS.
Im flexible with the date but dont want to ride more than 3-4 weeks.
Cheers
Phil

Hello,
i made the trip from Normandie and back during last spring , solo with a XT1200ZE .
If you ride along the main roads the CBR 1000 can probably do it.
The main issues are the weight and the tires.
I just switched to a 850 cc , Moto Guzzi V85TT , after this trip.
attached is the link to my blog , unfortunately in french , which could give you an idea of the places.

Is that 3-4 weeks for the round trip or one way and then shipping the bike back?

hello,
i took me 34 days.
From Paris by riding down to Dakar throught the Gibraltar strech.
From Dakar riding back to Tanger , then taking the ferry to Sete in south France , then riding back to Paris.
Can be reduced to 30 days to my opinion, i made some stopovers for personal convenience.
