Colebatch I can see from your replies that you have been riding different places in the world. I'm planning a world around trip on motorbike. I have a 1200 GSA. My plan would be from Budapest to Vladivostok through Kazachstan and Mongolia, North America then go to South America then over to Australia then Africa-India and back to Hungary. Based on your experience should I keep my 1200 GSA for this trip or should I change it to a 650 GS. The reason I'm asking is because the majority of this trip will be either on paved road or on hard surface. You made me concerned regarding Mongolia and I've read some stories about South America also. I will camp wherever I can, so I think I will be packed. I think I will have and additional 70 Kg-s of staff. The trip will start in 2015 so I still have time. I really like the comfort of the 1200 gsa, but based on your expertise whish bike would you recommend?
I appreciate your help.
Thanks
