    Hello,
    I've just came to Rwanda and the market here is simply just Yamaha, TVS (apparently all mototaxis), Bajaj, and Chinese...- but with nothing over 200 cc...

    So, speaking of Yamahas, I wonder which one (DT 175 or AG 200) would you guys with experience in Africa and/or with those bikes would suggest as a sort-of-beginner bike for a 1.70m (5' 7" I guess) guy with inseam not more than _I guess_ 80 cm. I guess it's much better to have DT 175, as it's 2-stroke and easier to maintain in Africa, compared to AG200.

    AG 200 looks much stronger-built, but the tires look odd, 19" front, 18" in the back, whereas DT has 21" front and 18" back. Please enlighten a newbie about those two Yamahas..
