London to Capetown
Hi, My wife and I are planning a trip to Capetown from london, at the moment I ride a ducati and she has a CBR600, neither of us have any offroad experiance but have decided to do this before the kids roll along!
So the question I have is what bikes should we go for? I am getting very confused as some are saying anyhing and others are saying bmw or ktm. bmw for comfort and ktm for the desert? we just want reliabilitiy over and above anything else. this is a 6month tour so speed is not essentail.
I am concerned about parts should they be required. Getting 2 of the same seems a good idea so that spares can be doubled on without a problem.
Would you recommend new or used bikes? I have a budget of 5K a bike but would rather go lower so if there are any deals around let me know.
Any thoughts?
Thanks on advance
Jez
