While we sit at our keyboards and argue at length about the features of all the overweight , over priced, over equipped machinery that we consider so necessary for our activity, one has to wonder about the down to earth virtues of a rugged, unpretentious, low budget little bike like that little Honda. One that a rider with just average skill can take just about anywhere it's possible to go, knowing that he'll get there and back, and without worrying about breaking anything too expensive.
Way to go, from one Jim to another, best of luck and happy times, for the rest of your African travels.
