Thanks for your video, the key to motorcycle travel is riding a bike you are comfortable with, I had a Yamaha XT660Z for years, great bike, but I was never comfortable with it, too tall, I recently bought a Dakar without even test riding it and it fits like a glove, plush soft suspension, low enough for short people, great fuel economy, enough power from the Rotax engine. The Dakar is an underrated bike, simple enough for the home mechanic to service. I have over 40 years of ADV riding so I have some knowledge of riding all these years.
Good job! I have one the same, which I'm just starting to do European trips on, then beyond when I can... Glad you're enjoying the bike, and thanks very much!

@@travishardaway6348 I got my current sheepskin from a guy in Bosnia selling it on the side of a read :) Attached by wedging it under the seat as I push it down.
@@martyn_g Hi, my feet are not flat on the floor for sure. However, I don't mind being on my toes / end of my feet. Have I fallen off occasionally when I'm on uneven ground? YES! However, I don't mind, whilst riding, it's the perfect ride for me and handles the toughest environments.
