I would be travelling with soft luggage, something like the Magadans and would need hooped panniers rails to put them on the bike?
All the best

Lonerider,
Yes, we have a welding shop. I am not familiar with those specific bags, but if you give me the dimensions, I can make them.
The Sumo Torque comes with a wonderful rear rack and good rear peg mounts, so places to secure are already provided.
Keep in touch!

Thanks for getting back in touch, I am at work abroad at the moment but they would need to be like the ones on my bike at home, they are the Touratec hooped pannier rails. If you need dimensions then I can get you them nearer the time.
What are the bikes like for standing on the pegs when off roading
Cheers
Wayne

Wayne,
I just bought 2 more Sumo Torque 250s today for my tours. That's how happy I am with these machines!
The pegs are pretty basic, but I've stood on them (230 lbs) ALOT off road and no bending. but for $40 I can get wide cast pegs with 4 rows and adapt them to it. I've put the same on all my Hondas (XR650Ls, NX400s, XR250s) and are very happy with them.
Remember that I need a month to:
Get the paperwork started (and finished before you get here)
Make the adjustments and changes for durability and gearing
Build the racks you need (dimensions needed upon ordering)
I would build the racks out of 1/2 square profile tubular steel. It is light and strong and the bags sit flat against the supports.
I like your bike!! I run the transparent 5.8 gal ACERBIS tanks on my XR650Ls and they are great!

Kev,
Andrew and Tamzin are touring Chile right now on a chinese bike I bought for them for the beginning of their journey that started here in Peru. Andrew said it would be fine if anyone wanted to contact him about the experience. I will PM you his email.
Also arriving this month is Florian taking one of my slightly used Sumo Torques.
Next month Klaus and Ash will be taking to more.
Cheers! Toby

Sorry Nic,
I was out on a tour and am just now getting to this...
I really need about 1 month to purchase the bike from you get it prepped, papered and license plate (unless you buy one of my used ones). Then when you arrive in Peru, we do about 3 hrs of paperwork to transfer it to your name (takes 15 working days), then you can take off immediately (using my papers, etc) on your ride. When the change into your name comes thru, then you can take the bike out of Peru.
If you buy one of my bikes, or a new one of the type I use for my tours, (and if you come back to Peru) then I offer to buy it back from you and will pass it on to another traveler!
Cheers! Toby
