Manageable distance with a dakar?

[Zaber]

Hi

I'm a newbie, only getting my Dakar later this week, but already planning on riding from Pretoria to Port Elizabeth on 20Dec.
My question is, what as a newbie, would be a manageable distance to cover in one day what riding the main routes? Also what sort of range do you get with your Dakar on a tank of fuel?

What is the max distance you have done in one day on your Dakar or other 650?

Any tips? Good place to sleep over along the way?
