Hi Tyson, I find your adventures to be fascinating and am surprised at how you travelled so far and did so much on a 400cc m/c. I am only beginning to explore "adventure touring" and would appreciate being able to contact you for advice on equipment if possible, if not I understand. One immediate question I have for you is if you feel that after all your experience with the 400 that the klr 650 is more durable and better suited to these long distance adventures, or even possibly the VStrom 650, although not being as purely offroad oriented, with the twin cylinders and greater horsepower it may make the time between destinations go faster as well as easier and in more comfort, any thoughts you may provide are appreciated. I do feel that the large BMW's (1 litre +) are overkill and to unwieldy and technically specialized should one incur a breakdown Reply to this
