Depends what type of terrain you plan to ride off course but I think the WRR will surprise you. I've had mine since 2012 and it still surprises me. It's deff not right for tight desert and I imagine jungle trails. The gear box is way too spaced to be a good trail bike. Long distance gravel and double trails is where this thing shines. Then when things get tighter or you come through a few rock or sand washes the trail metrics come into play and what looked like an obstacle becomes an enjoyable break. Country roads are fun too. Highway sucks but to me they do anyway. The idea of this bike is a trail bike with an adventure bike gearbox and maintenance interval. It allow you to get of the beaten path. So it's better too spend more time planning to link dirt roads up and then when you find cool trail just point it and go.
I'm currently using the long weekend to test a few things so am riding fully laden on stock suspension. I never bottom out but I'll have them resprung for my trip to be sure.
I recommend a steering stabilizer. Always struggled with the price but now I have one I don't want to ride without anymore. Saved my bacon many times.
I would be happy to fly to a country that sells this bike and start a trip from that. This bike needs very little mods. A tank, few USB chargers, a bit of extra lighting, comfort seat, stabilizer, alloy bars and hands guards, bash plate and that would be about it. A day to prep and away you go.
