LC4 Overland bike
Just thought I'd ask the collectives thoughts on my idea...
I've just bought a '98 LC4 620 LSE off a guy on the ukgser site, to be honest just as a bit of winter fun and green laneing, but I find it a rite hoot! I was set on buying a used Tenere later this year for a big overland trip but I'm now thinking use the KTM. Shes showing 15k kms and has clearly been cherished (only off road twice). Now I know guys have have been round the world on all sorts of weired and wonder full machines but When all's said an done this is a 12 year old machine.
I really like the idea of going a very long way on something that cost me just £1,300! Am I been mad or should I go for it? What alterations do you suggest? There's already a fairly hefty bash plate and hand guards fitted. I was thinking a bigger tank, some pannier frames and after two sleepless nights I think I've settled on soft luggage.
Your thoughts please,
Cheers
Phil
