yes there are quite a few guys out there. Joe Pichler has been all around africa I believe and there is Tolga, a Turkish filmmaker on a world tour, check "ride must go on" on facebook. He's been aall the way to magadan in Russia and is now in America.

It seems that the 1190 is a reliable bike so far.

I would read up on this ADV Rider forum ... lots of info and specifics on your bike.

As Mouldydog suggests read up on the ADV thread 1190 problems.

You didn’t mention if you are thinking of buying a bike? or already own one? watch out on used bikes for dirt ingestion if the bikes been used on dusty overland trips.

If your buying a brand spanky 2015 bike i think the fault has been fixed.

Mezo.

I bought the bike new 10 months ago I have done 12000 miles with no problems but this is the biggest trip so I'm just trying to see anything I should do before I go .I am checking out the link you recommended
Thanks
