Cheers for your reply, I’m definitely onboard with what you’re saying.
The cdp is at least 4k€ in France.. so it’s something I’ve just got to try and get around I suppose..
There’s a ‘new’ youtuber called Lost and Savage currently touring Afghanistan on a Kawa W650. He replied to one of my comments saying he only uses temporary import permits for his bike, which is why I’m kind of hopeful it could work out.

Regarding bikes, I’m looking at 2nd hand reliable models like the dr650 which should survive the trip and be relatively easy to repair if needed.
Leaving the bike somewhere would really be a last resort option
Taking my time though before pulling the trigger
