Engine size or reliability on a budget!?
Okay, so my first post here on the HUBB.
I am travelling South America on a budget and I am not one who can sit on a bus for hours on end or wait in airports for delayed flights. I am a photographer and am looking for a adventure.
Now my conundrum: I have a budget of minimum 1,300,000 Chilean pesos and absolute maximum of 2,000,000 and I would prefer to stay away from the maximum. Now, the bikes.
New Euromot DSF200 enduro 1,040,000 pesos
New Honda XR 125 enduro 1,290,000 pesos
New yamaha XTZ 125 enduro 1,290,000 pesos
Used 2010 honda XR 250 tornado 2,000,000 pesos possibly talk them down in price
Now my reall problem is obviously I have quoted three different engines sizes and makes, I am looking for reliability ie: honda/yamaha vs power and budget ie: euromot. I can find used bikes but I would prefer not to inherit other peoples problems!! I'm looking at racking up about 25,000km and dealing with snow, high altitude and obviously highway speeds.
Opinions pls!!
