Around the Mediterranean on a Suzuki GN 250?
Hi all,
my plan is a tour around the Mediterranean, starting in Germany and then through France, Spain, maybe Portugal, Morocco, on through North Africa (probably skipping Algeria), and back through the East. You know the drill.
Anyway, after I found this

on this board, I lost some confidence in my otherwise very brave little GN 250. Is there anything wrong in doing it on a 250?
As I'm barely 5'4", I need a bike that can be easily handled even by short persons, and the Yamaha XJ600 I used to have just didn't work out for me.
Well then, if you have any tips on 250 usage, especially when it comes to riding in the desert (I do realize that the engine block might eat sand sooner than that of a long-"legged" Enduro), I'd be very grateful as I do intend to return home safely and with a mostly intact motorbike.
Thanks!
