Finally, I find myself buying sort of strange bikes:
Honda XLR 250 (Baja), it was not so common at that time, common was the second XR400, sold it less than 2 years.
Not so common in my country neither the next 2 bikes: KTM 640 TE and my beloved Husky TR Terra 650, with both + my european years with the 250, I travelled and I understood it was something I would like to explore a little more.
I'm not a true overlander, and as a short scale entrepreneur I can only spend to 4-5 days/month out ridding in my country, place where you still find a lot of unpaved, narrow tarmac and secondary roads between the 3 regions that the equator line cross thru.
The Guzzi was a sort of project to travel to Italy, place where I found that old 250, and with a legal accord between that country and mine, spend a holyday and bring the bike to the Andes. The expence was to high!

Found a new dealer in southern Ecuador, went to them and bought the V85TT, new for this country as model and as brand, even if it's still associated to the 70/80's (some still running) Police bikes.
I found this 850 simply amazing. Right for my size, weight and tyupe of ride, but in fact: strange it has a 'motorino' horn.
I'd like to spend my sabbatical as soon we realize the borders will reopen in SA, we crossfingers it maybe december.
We plan around 11000 km and around 14 weeks. As I described before, this is also a not common bike, as I choose (there is a reason i might probably share with a pint of ) so welcome any suggestions in order to modify of simply get some tech specs or tips. We havent cho$e the Travel Edition, becau$e of 'time' i$$ue$.
With soft saddle bags, an old (used on my xr) touratech tailbag and tank bag, we want to face south and try to reach an emblematic or geographic landmark between Argentina and Chile, and be back to work in this lattitude (we host the HU Meetings here):

where you all are welcome!
