Use a van to transport the bike to mongolia?
Hi all.
Why is it so difficult to decide?
I am planning a 8 week (I hope my boss says yes :-) trip this summer from Sweden through Russia to Mongolia and back.
After reading a lot on this and other forums i have narrowed my options to either a F650 Dakar 2004 or later or the KTM 640 Adventure 2004 or later. My heart tells me KTM my brain BMW ...
I sold my old F650 1995 last summer with 100 000 km on the clock. The bike never let me down, but it was a bit small and a bit heavy when doing the hardcore ruts. It also needed lots of aftermarket parts to become the true adventure bike...
I haven't had time yet to try either bike, but will do so in the near future.
However I also have a Mistsubishi L400 van and started to think that perhaps i should put my bike in the van and just drive to mongolia and park the car there for a month while riding around.
The benefits would be a much more comfortable transportation to Mongolia.
The downside would be a probably less fun trip through russia...
So what you folk think? Anybody with experience of this?
