The Bikes:
I have many years of multi terrain riding behind
me. I have chosen to use Suzuki 250cc’s
and the DR 200cc imported direct from Japan. These
choices were made for the following reasons:
When riding variable terrain, semi-fit riders
become quite tired, especially on the longer three
day and four day trails. On large unwieldy machines
it increases the sore arms, sore shoulders feeling,
been there done that, and mistakes are made most
often when tired. Need I say more?
The weight of the machine plays a major role with
correction technique on more technical sections.
They bikes we use weigh in at around 125 -130
kg with fuel and are easily manageable. Comfort
is not usually well catered for on small machines
so I have special air seats mounted on the bikes
for riders, affording much comfort especially
for the longer trails. (Problem solved)
The bikes may not sound powerful yet they are
six speed overhead cams with polished valves providing
excellent torque at slow speeds, smooth throttle,
quiet running and are vibration free. Many riders
have traveled down through Africa with this machine;
they are capable of up 130 km per hour, should
it be necessary. Most of the tours I take are
scenic tours not endurance races.
Most bike riders enjoy these bikes immensely as
they are safe, reliable, and great fun. I use
trail tires that are eco friendly at pressures
that give safe grip on the technical sections.
These machines are remarkably capable for the
type of tours I run. We carry a GPS, radio comms;
for each rider, a top box and a small tank bag
for essentials.
One day trail in Red . Two day trail in Blue.
