I'm looking for opinions on the 650 dakar. I'm planning a trip this summer on route 66 from chicago to calf. I presently have an 05 LT1200 that I will be using for this trip but my son wants to go also. I gave him the option of riding moms 750 shadow or looking into a BMW for himself. He is 15 now and will turn 16 in march. The only bike he likes at this point is the Dakar. I was wondering if the Dakar would be suitable for a trip of this length and what the pro's and con's would be. Thanks Mike
