Last post for me on this topic, & I agree with your comments Grant.
The bike we took to Europe was fine, we did survive and our time there was limited, however; knowing what I know from that trip, if I were doing a RTW, or any long term travelling, for my likes, I'd take the bike that suits the travelling conditions; that way, I could choose my route instead of the bike choosing it for me. (If you know what I mean)
As always, great site and I enjoy everyones perspectives.
