I recently helped a friend of mine pick a bike for a long trip with his wife and I happen to think that before buying we should have a checklist.
Ø Continent where you will be buying the bike Ø Money needed to buy and prep it Ø New or used Ø 1 or 2 up Ø Type of riding (HWY/off road/ 50/50) Ø Continent planned to be visited Ø Maintenance will be done by whom?? Ø Known problem and fix for the bike Ø Best year of specific model Ø Part available easily Ø Spare part for trip Ø Mods that other rider have proven to be useful These were some of the question my friend ask and lucky for me I had access to the HUBB because what a guy like me which currently own a KTM450 SXF , R1200GS,XR650R Tagged, a FJR1300ABS and just sold few month ago a KLR650 will have recommend??? What do you guys think

make a list
you are right , I had a very poor choice of tire for my KLR or BMW, at the opposite the XR is very easy to set pretty much any where in the world.
