Mongolia with £2500?
Hi,
as I'm travelling through Europe to mongolia next year and am on a student grant, I will be buying 2nd hand and have narrowed it down slightly but was wondering what is best for my budget? I am 171 pound 6"2 with a 6 years experience ( off road ) and currently have a cheap 1998 kawasaki KLX250... but am looking to get either: (1) Honda XR400 with 22 litre tank (2) Kawasaki KLR 250 (3) Yamaha XT660 or ( if I can find one cheap enough ) BMW F650 GS Dakar... What would be best for £2500?! ( £3000 at a pinch...) Thanks, Tom

Use the KLX?
Why not use the KLX? You already know the bike. Keep the £2500 for emergencies/extras. Stay off the motorways (see more that way) and you'll be fine.

Use the KLX.
It will do it no troubles. Just stay out of mud when it rains in Mngla. The slipperiest and stickiest I have ever encountered, I couldnt even walk on it... Enjoy, a great part of the world.
