Thank you all for your advice. Ok so now I think that that hitting Mongolia in the spring is the best thing to do, maybe a later departure date. Januray 2014 leave London, so arrive into Mongolia in the spring? I like the cold but at -5c i could soon be wishing for a white sandy beach.
Also thanks for the warning about doing it on company headed paper - anything to save on fee's.
Regarding the bike, I think that anything that is any more powerful will be heavier surely, and I wont be able to pick it up - with the XRV750, TDM850 or Varadero1000, are these much more weighty than the XR400?
thanks for all your help and Happy Christmas everyone!
