Interesting Bikes
I have done my two short trips on slightly different machines, and thought I would try and spark a coversation.
In 2009 I rode accross europe on a Kawasaki W650 and then earlier this year I went to morocco on a HD MT350e.
On thing i noticed about travelling on slightly different machines is that they provoked conversation from other travellers asking about the uniqueness of the machines (OK the Kawasaki was not that special but a lot of people spoke to me about it thinking it was and old Triumph).
I now feel this is an important thing to consider when choosing a travel bike, gives other people an Icebreaker to talk to you about??
For example on the morocco trip we had a R1200GS with us that was worth more than the rest of the bikes put together but hardly anyone was interested in that but the MT350 was a conversation starter.
There is no question here just wondering if people felt the same and thought it was an interesting topic of conversation. so discuss??
PS I think my next travel bike will be a CCM SR40
