29, 35 or 41 litre panniers ?
Hi People
The bike is a TTR600RE that’s about 42hp and I’m going to be on the road for about 6 months. The panniers I’m looking at are available in 29, 35 or 41 litre and not a big price difference in any of the sizes.
All the advice says travel light and for survival.
My trip is in two parts.
Part 1 – UK to Dakar and back to Spain – time 8 weeks
Part 2 – Spain to Mongolia and back to the UK – Time 16 weeks
I’ll have a 23 litre tank, be carrying extra water + a bag on the rear seat holding the kitchen and bedroom; also I’ll have an extra tyre.
My Question: The bikes only 42hp so i don’t want to load it to much, BUT I’m on the road for 6 months! I’d like to hear from people with these size panniers.
What kindda stuff have you loaded in your panniers?
Do you wish you had a bigger set?
or
Do you wish you had a smaller set?
Thanks
Shaun
