DAKAR
I heard that the Dual Sport bikes were the bikes to have, as well as the big bikes. I guess that it would depend upon what sections of roads you were on. YOu must make a visit to Kansas City, or if you are passing through give us a shout. I know about a dozen people from SA and it's a great group of people. We have a couple Ausies, a NZ (kiwi), just people from ALL over the world. Coach Collin was a big name in Rugby from what I hear, now he runs "Coffee Bay" in Overland Park, Ks. According to the new magazines for April 2004 the Zx-1R is supposed to be a kick butt bike. Its narrower has a smaller frontal area than the Kawasaki 600's, has just a smidge shorter wheelbase, and flies like it has wings. There was an initial problem with the new Slipper clutch but it is supposed to be taken care of before it hits the road.
