Most certainly for future trips Im gonna buy or possibly rent locally. Because that saves me money for shipping and expensive insurances. And also I can buy a bike thats common in the country I travel and thus is easier to get fixed and find spare parts for.
But for longer travels like RTW, Alaska to Ushuaia, Europe to Australia or North Cape to Cape Town or similar its of course better and more practical to have one bike for the whole trip.
But for future trips I have been thinking of like roundtrips in Vietnam, Philippines, Myanmar (might be a looong time into the future unfortunately) India/Nepal - buying something locally makes much more sense….
