    I used to have a TDM 93 model - great bike if you ask me!! Sadly it's not that off-road friendly, but got smooth engine (my @ vibrates too much for me to be honest...).

    Just hang the carb needles in lowest position and you'll get 20km/l. Great lasting engine, I haven't ridden the "new" engine with the crank offset though.

    What about a Super Tenere - got the same engine, only 750cc. Would have been my alternative to the @, but there's hardly any in South Africa...

    Cape Town sounds very tempting, more so when the winter sets in here.
    Winter - that's right, there was something like this in Europe (I grew up in Germany, lived in Scotland for 3 years, now am here in SA). Our "winter" down here in Cape Town lasts only 2 months, is often rainy though, 12'C, a bit of snow on the higher mountains (over 1500m).
