LDTs - as a rule of thumb these are suitable
for smaller (around 250cc) singles with low gearing, reasonable
torque but, essentially, a good lock to be able to manoeuvre in
tight sections. Also a good idea to pick a lightish model (as you
are likely to be picking it up out of the mud regularly if you ride
like me!). If you are the competitive type, look at last year's
results and see what bikes finished in the top 20 of the event you
are interested in.
Rallies - quite a different kettle of fish.
Much depends on the individual event but, most importantly, the
weather! I haven't been able to do any of the rallies so if anyone
can advise which ones are suitable for bigger bikes then I am happy
to add the information.

Witley LDT - start on A3 south
of Guildford, 70 - 100 miles around Surrey/Hants/West Sussex lanes, 10
-12 sections. Apparently doable on a 650 Dakar or similar size bike.
Can get a bit rutted and slippery when wet.
Might have to dab a lot to pull the bike round the
tighter sections but it would still be a great day out with lots of
great laning. Probably not suitable for
Boxer GS.
