Liberia

[darrenptalbot]

Guys, I've just won a 2 year contract in Liberia. As well as the Hilux's and Landcruiser, we're also looking at getting a couple of bikes to allow us to get through Monrovia and out to the sticks quickly.

First thoughts are to get a couple of xt250s, the 2012 model with carbs rather than FI.

Anyone done anything similar before, or have any recommendations for what may be better than an xt?

Locals in Monrovia all drive Chinese stuff, but I want something with a disc brake at the front, so it stops when I ask it to!

Hmmm . Nothing!

How about a couple of 660 teneres?

Any good reason to pick one over the other?

Need road legal, with carrying capacity

find out who's in town for spares and let that drive your choice.... my guess would be yamaha or honda... for marine or generators....

KTM don't make much in the way of site plant....
