Started long ago on a Honda 650 XL , changed to Yamaha 600 XT , started off road riding on a Honda CRF 250, changed to KTM 450 EXC.
Ride now an 14 year old Yamaha FZX 750 and a KTM Duke 390. Live in Tanzania since two month and would like to buy the Nine T as a long term bike that can be used everywhere. Anyone being able to offer insights how to buy this bike and get it to Dar es Salaam would be offered the best beers on the market.
I used to ride a lot of enduro trips in South East Asia and are looking into doing the same in Southern Africa once I find a reasonable off road bike here.
Looking forward to read all the news about the Nine T before ordering and importing.
Cheers

What was it that brought you to the NineT?

Dozzo: What was it that brought you to the NineT?

The design, the history and the low maintenance interval. Driving long distances. And the need to calm down from enduro accidents.
I liked my long off road trips and enduro races but have more difficulties with staying fit enough to continue doing so. I hope that on the Nine T the ergonomics are ok and I can drive long distances, do less maintenance stops.

welcome aboard! You've certainly made a good choice for desert runs. Air cooled boxer will be much happier in Southern Africa. Shaft drive will also be more reliable than chains, no worries about grit getting in there

I think even in colder climates it will be just as happy, such as north america's summers. engines love cool air.
