Spud, The seat is surprisingly comfortable, I'll start a thread over on the dual sport forum in a couple of weeks, I need to wait for my plates. Weldangrind, thanks for the engine information, summer is coming but the weather is pretty much the same all year in Lima.
The Dakar
http://www.dakar.com/index_DAKus.html# will be coming through Northern Chile in early January, I'll be down there for sure.
