I can also help you find a bike here in the UK if you need it. Bikes are generally cheaper here than on the continent. Dave

Gday Dave, I hear you about Norway warmer in June as opposed to May. And I'm open to most ideas, including your plan. This week is the crunch week as I am about to buy a bike and so is my mate Mauricio...sort of. I'm closing a deal on a 2003 Caponord, 30000miles in great shape with topbox (panniers are extra but may leave and just use my drybag backpack 40l). Here in NZ I ride an 09 Buell Ulysses XP and ADV riding I use my BMW 650x. Too expensive to bring either over. The Aprilia is in Altrincham, near Manchester.
My mate Mauricio is going to 'borrow' a bike from a guy I set him up with. Interesting deal really, inexpensive and easy (no buy/sell) but very high excess over 1300Euro so he better not have any issues! He will pay 500Euro only for 8weeks borrowing an old 1995 BMW 100T. So with your 990, my 1000cc Capo, and his 1000cc beemer, we are all similar size engines (totally different performance tho!). We are mid 30s, and relaxed, but also not much $$$$ so will be camping and looking for ways to do the trip without expensive accommodation.
I have to figure out timing better in order to plan routes, but best to finalise our bikes and then come 2routing after? That should be the next 48hrs.
Sounds like we could have a gaggle, posse, pride, school...gang of bikers?
