Hi. I am a classic midlife crisis single toppie. Would like to do some slow, long distance tours on quiet back roads. I find the Dakar is a bit more difficult to handle than the 250 Honda XL 250 I rode many years ago, so will need some training. Presently living in Nairobi, but will be back in Cape Town Jan 2010.

Hi. The name is Christiaan, Afrikaans speaking, married with 2 kids. Love my Dakar and am convinced it is the most perfect all-purpose motorcycle out there.... Black-top to gravel, The Hell to Baviaans to the technical rough and loose stuff.... It's GREAT.

I've never really owned a bike for every day use - I once briefly owned a Honda 250 2 stroke with which I travelled down to Cape Town from Uganda, and I had (have) an Enfield with which I toured the Himalayas for 6 weeks. Other than, I ride a Vespa. But now also own a Dakar. Yeeha.
