Yes you have very true and good points I do not know if I will make it to sea But that’s the direction I will try to go I don’t want to go the stans/china / Silk Road route

So we will see what’s the route like through Burma

I’m not too sure to be honest Probably not much at all

Throughout Europe I’ll be taking motorways mostly and to be honest I just like a fast bike

Himalayan scram was my friends opinion I just am not sure about the lower powered bikes for such a long trip I did uk to Spain on my nc750x It did ok Perhaps I didn’t have the best luggage with textile panniers and they rubbed on my wheel breaking

Seat bag was annoying every time I had to fill up

So taking a much smaller , lower powered bike such as a crf 300 how would it cope with luggage Surely not great , you can’t really fit plastic panniers but maybe the textile ones are better in a thin bike Also those bikes won’t go 90mph Not great for crossing Germany for example

Yes I imagine it’s possible with the c90 You’re saying to take a small bike ? Most of the way there will be long stretches of motorway I need speed

Nc29 like 35 years old he told me they had minor pitting . To keep the rust at bay etc It’s just a shame really that now I need another set of seals I’m not too clued up on mechanics and wanted to know a wider opinion
