Wink Here it is

This particular "R1 around the world" has been discussed on other threads somewhere in here.

This is the webpage:
Sjaak Lucassen | travelling the world by motorcycle | Yamaha YZF R1

& then there is Nick Sanders:

Thanks for doing that :-) - he he - just goes to show you don't need a GS to RTW - now I don't feel so bad for buggering off with my CBF600!

Thumbs up cbf600

That's a bit "different" Matt; have you posted anything in, say, the Honda threads about travelling with a multi-cyl bike?

ummm no... I try not to mention it

Perhaps I should? It did get picked up by the CBF1000 forum a while back - some chap found our blog and posted it up.

Nothing too scary though - I'm certainly not going off-road to start with... that will have to wait until I get the ETV

Sorry, I did not realise that, they came up for me and I assumed it would work for anyone else.
