They're actually quite nice.
At least it was a Dakar, and not the Sitting Bull, which, IIRC, was Peugeot's first VTT, and weighed more than a bus (and rode like one, too!).
The new forks do seem to push the front end up a bit much...
But it looks much better in its new colourscheme, and my dad will be pleased you chose the colour he selected for his MkIV Cortina - Oyster Gold.
