Bike for a trip to Morocco/Algeria/Tunisia
 

Mate and I are planning to do a trip to Morocco and possibly Algeria & Tunisia and he's already bought a Tenere for the trip. I'm looking around for a bike for myself. Is the Tenere the ideal bike or should I be looking at anything else? DR?

Also, is there much value to be had in us both having the same bike, perhaps to reduce costs on spares?

Yamaha XT600E is your best bet...

Thanks for that. Glad you said that too, as I bought one from a HUBB member on Tuesday! Have now got a 2007 XT600E with Metal Mule panniers & an Ascerbis tank and am really enjoying riding it. Just need to find a screen for it as I was getting blown to bits on Tuesday & even 110kmh round the M25 was quite unpleasant (will be a lot nicer in hot weather of course!)..
