ER6f
 

Hi all!!
Could anyone please give a bit of insight. After a conversation at work about RTW trips my co worker is convinced you need a GS or alike. How ever I've decided I could do it On my ER6f with just a few mods to make it "battle ready". Say sump protection radiator protection a more appropriate set(s) of tyres and I think re routing the exhaust would be sensible being as its under the engine infront of the back wheel!! Just wondered what the HU world thought?
Thanks J :scooter:

If someone can do it on a C90, it should be a breeze on an ER6f.

Or a postie bike ...

Or an R1 ...

Tell your co-worker he is talking out of his @ss.

Nah, I reckon you need a BMW 1200GSA + touratwat luggage and all the bling to do a real adventure motorcycle trip :rofl:.

:welcome: here, as they say.

In fact, the answer is to trade in your ER6f for the super/better Kawa Versys KLE 650, then you are ready for anything; it has the 7 inch ground clearance that you seek.:innocent:

You forgot the caravan :)

You take what you want, and prep it as you want.

We did 25k miles on two Aprilias.

Nah, they get the support vehicle to drive them to a hotel!

Ted Simon used a Triumph with about the same ground clearance as a current Bonneville or Enfield Bullet and there is MORE tarmac in the world today than in 1974.

Use the bike you understand and want to ride. Spend your money on petrol unless you do want to get a particular bike for the trip.
