Wow, that's an amazing looking DR BIG. Is yours 750 or 800cc? I'd swap my DR650 for one in a heartbeat. Any video's of the beast?

Nope! I'm turning my back on this topic' this year is about spending the least amount possible and finding some good gold! No time for biking.... Unless I dig up a few old ones from dads when I'm up that way' and build a contraption " ts 90 rotary 2 stroke into a Honda Trail 70' fold down hangers.... Yeah that will work

He got it because he slipped on some oil and smashed his face on a Curb stone at a bus depot, He had it removed but it grew back within 5 months,

Well I have been doing some checking out the bikes in OZ and the DR and the Yamaha XT's etc, And theres quite a lot that will fit the Bill, I don't want anything too heavy for in the bush but it has to have the power and speed to maintain normal road speeds fully loaded And there is a lot in the style of the DR or Trans Alp style that are perfect for making the trip,
My other choice was to get a Troopy like the 1996 onwards models and add a few bits to it, and get some small type of camper/Caravan,
Still I got a little while to work out which will work the best,
John
