Post by: the prodded dog on April 11, 2021, 21:12:25: No Gilles. I have had to give in to my weak body due to illness and bought a Suzuki 650 V Strom if I wanted to keep biking.
A pity that Honda don't do something similar. I know I could have looked at a Transalp but don't like the styling.
Plus I don't like 21 inch front wheels. Not enough grip for my taste.
Cheers

Post by: Tarwdu on April 12, 2021, 18:39:03: I took a 650 vstrom to Morocco. It just disintegrated.
Check out "trail of suzuki parts" on youtube.
The hugger fell off.
The chain guard went.
The whole dash assembly collapsed.
The mudguard went.
The regulator fell off.

By the time I got back to the ferry, all was left was the chassis and two wheels, one of which one was cracked.
Buy a Honda.

It got you there and it got you back, didn't it.
Staying well away from Morocco just in case.

That would be a different Morocco Trip from this one (Varadero suspension collapsed _ hard tail ride home) ?

Must be an "I'm from wales" thing !
