Let me get this straight, once you purchase this bike, you've already invested $18k(taxes, panniers, Tourafarkle, etc.) AND you've now committed to basically bringing the bike home-add in another $4k for shipping. You're at $22k BEFORE you even hit the start button or the calculator to calculate your trip costs.
Number two…why are we even debating reliability when you've already spent $22k?? This bike is new…you better be able to put 50k miles/kms without a major mishap…or this is crap!!
The bike better be able to RTW if you're paying that much!!!
