no bob,i was initially but halfpints wr250r had electrical issues so he bought a gs310 and I wasn't willing to be the only one with a sore backside by the time we got to almeria
so ive put some suitable tyres on my nc750x and ill travel in comfort.This will be my first time to morocco but if its as good as I hope it will be then ill probably go on my WR next year as I want to do it on a small bike to enjoy the off road stuff more.
You will love it , I've been and will go back again , enjoy your trip

I'm negotiating on a WR as we speak , I almost went orange but I do like my yamaha's , it's an early steel frame one hasn't done many miles and is still in standard trim , not had any of the mods done (air box , grey wire etc , ) so it hasn't been used to its full potential yet

The camping gear takes up virtually all my panniers, so unless you go Bivi/tarp minimal, you may as well be comfortable, as long as you have room for the evening bottles of Chianti and Port, jobs a goodun.

I've been a few times to morocco with Keith, It will be a ball
The most nights we have wild camped in a row is 2 and they were great, but always good to have a shower by the third
I carry about 3 days of food mainly pasta and cuppa soup stuff, there are plenty of local shops to restock.
for me the trouble with bringing the kitchen sink is that you'll struggle to pick the bike up on your own.
not long now
