Default Advice needed.

Its looking likely that i will be moving to UAE Dubai, before christmas.

Im after advice from the collective on wether to take my bike Ec300 which i have spent alot of time and money setting up to suit me which i would never regain back if i sell it.

The bike of choice from visiting various forums and talking to people out there is either a crf450 or a ktm 450sx both KTM and Honda have dealerships so parts from them wouldnt be a problem and you can pick up a new 2010 for ?3500 as there is no tax to pay so bikes are cheap.

My only concern is that i dont particularly want to be running a heavy fourstroke and the associated cost when it goes bang. Having said that if running a 2stroke in heavy sand is not a goer then i will go back to fourstrokes.

This is the sort of terrain i would be riding.

I am also considering the availabilty of parts for the gasser, as everything from wheel bearings to a gasket and probably sparkplugs would have to be imported.

Will any of the dealers on here be willing to ship to dubai?

So what do you lot think? can a 2 stroke be setup to go well in dunes?
