I'm not sure if that's a bad thing or not.... The Chinese seem capable of making everything and anything.
As you know Maria, the German built older F650's we're out of a kinder Egg.
The Sertao really temps me. It does look like a real contender and these engines seem to have shaken off the past problems of the older models.. As far as I know.
Maybe a great Mongolia/Siberia bike.

Hi Ted! YOU? Buying a BMW??????????????? :confused1:
What has the world come to!
Seriously, the Sertao looks like a good bike (if you want a thumper). Similar to the Dakar. Well identical with a new name imho!
Alistair wants a F800GS....
For me I am going to get a Versys as soon as I get my container (From Brazil!).
Next trip is to Mongolia? I am still set on that for next year.
Must catch up at the HU meet.
Btw did you finish your welding job? Still toying with the idea of a pannier of sort for the dog in the Versys.... I just need an idea of built that would fit, as the stuff I saw in US sites is for sunny weather!
See you soon,
