For the first time, I would like to greet all the members and thank them in advance for your help. As can be read from the title, I would like to buy a BMW Dakar, which I would like to have for the whole year. To my person: Ride for 2 years motorcycle,ok it is a 50cm3 scooter ^^,bin 1.76m tall around the 70kg and have an A1, i.e. I would drive the Dakar (theoretical).My questions: 1. Should I buy the Dakar now (pronounced before winter) or should I wait if a new 2006 model comes out? 2. What does it look like now with BMW with the ABS, since they had difficulties with it? 2.1. Does ABS pay off with the Dakar? 3. Which bike would you recommend to me BMW Dakar or Yamaha XT660R? I would like to ride more in the country, so, my knowledge, the Yamaha would be better suited and cheaper for it. On the other hand, I have mentioned a hoec at BMW , as already mentioned above in this forum. In terms of quality, I’m not quite sure if there will be big differences. But I also have to say to the Dakar that it’s my absolute dream bike (besides the HP2 ;-). With friendly greetings, Nazgoul
