So, I'm thinking of heading off around the world, right? Taking off and saying SAYONARA to this grime-pit :xpuke:that is London, except... which bike do I go for..?
My inclinations at the moment include:
A: HONDA TRANSALP - solid, good-looking, but maybe not as sturdy as might be necessary, what with the Himalayas being on the checklist...
B: AFRICA TWIN - big, rugged, but what's that I hear about a lack of power-to-weight ratio..?
C: KTM 640 ADVENTURER - arguably the business, but not a case of overkill..? It's only one step down from the Dakar bikes afterall.
Any thoughts or alternative recommendations would be greatly appreciated! :D
