Any cycle tourers now motorbike tourers
I have been a RTW bicycle tourer for over ten years but recently have developed an irregular heart beat and now cannot do any significant excercise. Years ago I used to run a R100GS and loved it (until a rather nasty head-on with a car) and have not ridden since (except rented 100cc Hondas in Cambodia recently which was fun). Has anyone out there any experience of turning from a cycle tourer into a motorbike tourer and how was it for you? I mainly worry about the lack of peace and simplicity of the cycle. Do you get well received in small town and villages (like, say, in Asia) on motorbikes, and is there still the feeling of freedom like with a cycle. All this may seem obvious to an experienced motorbike tourer, but as I am seriously considering a new motorbike I would love to hear any comments. Thanks.
