I'm starting to look at maps and routes, but, in general, exploring off the beaten track.. is that where the good stuff is? Would we be sorry to be limited? Sorry this is so general.
In the Ukraine we could have benefited from 4wd on a couple of occasions in remote areas in the Carpathians or Crimea, but it certainly wouldn't have been worth the extra costs for us, and we didn't miss out on anything. Was glad to be in a car rather than the bike mostly, as some of the potholes could have swallowed the front wheel whole.  Another plus for trailbikes I think, 21" front wheels.
Also the small bike wouldn't be great on roads where the traffic is moving fast, above 80kph. I'm guessing this isn't a problem, but perhaps on some of the major roads? In Hungary it could be a bit of problem on some of the major roads, likewise in the Ukraine, traffic is can be pretty fast on national roads (not highways), up to 90-110 kph.
