You guys are spot on! We decided to try it. We hit dirt about 10 miles past the Pemex in Gonzaga. My female mate dropped her BMW 650 GS several times and we decided it was was too much for her. She was having a very bad day. To make a long story short she had her bike trucked to highway 1 (5.5 hours) I got to ride it on the KTM and had a blast. I met Coco, signed his book, left a sticker and shot the breeze for a while.
My take on this road: definitely doable with a big GS and a heck of a lot of fun too. But, for a timid rider, you might want to pass. The construction will be completed in 5 years. My advice is to ride it now before the new road is in.
