Wow - you had a nice little trip in Honshu-Japan. Thanks for sharing the trip with us!

ha...ha.... it was also the most expensive tour to date.
But it was nice and I really enjoyed myself.

Would like to go to Tokyo as I have a younger brother staying there and I would like to visit him and ride too.

Want to tour India or Pakistan or New Zealand for late 2025 or 2026.

South Korea is also on my list but seems impossible to rent a bike there. Flight tickets to Seoul are reasonable as there are direct flight to ICN Inchon airport from the city I stay.

South America is the ultimate tour that I want to do in 2027/2028 but will be the most challenging as have to buy a used bike there and due to the cost of flight tickets I will have to do it in a single tour of around 6 months.

The hardest part for every tour is the detailed research of where to go. I like to have a rough route for my entire tour.
Also have to check when to go and where to rent the bike.

Avoid going during wet season if possible as I don't enjoy riding in the rain.
About 10 to 12 Celsius is about as low as I can tolerate on a bike without heated grips, handguards and windshield. But will look like the Michelin man with all the layers on me! LOL

Thanks for the ride report, we are hoping to go there next April for a few weeks, thinking we will start in Osaka and rent bikes there as well:scooter:

@Rondelli,

Go for it! Japan is great for bike touring!

I want to go to Tokyo either in late this year or if not next year to visit my brother and rent a bike and tour!

It's tough when you don't speak the local language but being polite and using Google translate helps! LOL
