parts?
Hi there,
good idea to ride a bike around the world. Did you ask about the 1100GS/XT600 or 650GS/XT600??
yours question depends also on your budget, because parts for both bikes dont cost the same and are not available in the same places. sure you can ride around the world on a GS or on a XT, but they will both need parts along the way.
beemers are considered in most places (outside europe and the us) as expensive luxery bikes. the xt is used by many locals around the world to go to work etc. and in many places like you will find used parts.
I rode an XT600Z Tenere around the world for 6,5 years and I know that XT parts are easy to find (if parts are available at all) and quite cheap.
enjoy and take the bike that you like most, and than see what happens. its your journey ...
