Being here in Rwanda now for 19 months, and suffering from PMS (Parked Motorbike Syndrome), the search for affordable and trustworthy bikes to explore this beautiful country better, kicked in.
It is amazing how the bush telegraph manages to present bikes out of nowhere. Most Rwandans do not ride anything bigger than 125 or 150cc, and off road / DS bikes are normally left behind by expats leaving the country. Obviously when they discover that the Muzungu wants a moto, the price doubles. After long negotiations we managed to first get the DR400Z for Tollie, then I acquired the DR650 R Dakar, (White one). Both bikes needed some TLC, the 650 a bit more than the 400, but we have both good wheels now here in Rwanda.
Bikes which also came forth were a Honda CR 125, Yamaha 450 WR and a KTM 450, Honda XR 250 R with a 23" front wheel.
Will post more pics in due course.
