Hello,
short after i bought a Yamaha TT600R (yes, kickstart...) for off-road fun next to my 1200GS, i decided on a trip through central america, starting in Mexico, ending in, euh, wherever i end up around Darian ;-)
Simple, light, cheap and reliable bike, and lots of aftermarked stuff to convert it to a decent travelbike to go to the america's.
Bought the (4000kms onroad) bike for eur. 2850,- and ordered approx. 1500 for spareparts, big tank, very solid panniersystem, center stand and other usefull bits and pieces. For eur. 4500 i'm ready to go.
I (still) think it is a good decision to go on a cheap low profile bike, but not entirely sure about the absence of the all-mighty-magic-button ;-)
good luck with your choice.
cheers,
Sander
