UK riders? No small bikes over here!
Currently planning a summer jaunt round russia and through the caucuses. Looking for an overlander and have been reading alot about the various agricultural 200cc bikes which look great for chugging along around the planet. Cheap, low cost, low maintainance and no ****ing around. Those of you in the southern hemisphere (particularly oz and NZ) seem to have a good few offerings from the likes of Yamaha and Honda.
Yet over here in Europe we have a choice of a CG125 which is going to get REALLY REALLY frustrating or old trail bikes like KLR 250's. I would go with something like a KLR 250 but am worried about the rear subframe getting a shoeing and a really narrow seat! They are also quite pricey for what they are.
Don't want ANOTHER 600 at the mo (been there done that), but at the moment it looks like i might have to resort to it. Any suggestions?
