Hello from Sweden...

Sounds like a good trip. I did a trip from Uk to Malaysia 10 years ago on a 1200gs. Always wanted to redo the same trip but taking a different route and approach , but this time with my KTM or a 4x4

What is your plan? routes?

I'm interested. I was thinking of going the other way, since I'm in Hawaii, but, it's about the same either way. Were you thinking of going through China.

The 1200gs was excellent never had an issue with it nor riding this big machine
quite nibble. But most travellers I met on rode were riding smaller bikes , African twins, or 800gs even a 50cc Vespa !!

So it really does not matter what vechicle you choose as long as you can handle
it on and off road and pick it up when its upside down.

We did start planning, going east by 4x4.



https://www.4x4tripping.com/2020/12/...enstrasse.html

But we plan to skip china because of Guide and Costs.. Hopefully we can do China in 10 Years without that much hassle by our own car..

Currently I think also at 2022, we can be happy when the blue route will be possible...

Surfy

Nice route pretty much the route I had planed but I wanted to travel via the entire lenght of the pamir highway. Dushanbe up to Osh then pass in quick into China then up to Mongolia.

Last time I went via Ukrain, Russia, Kazakstan ,kyrgystan to China via Turugart Pass to Kashgar then down to Khunjerab pass followed the karokorom highway all the way down to islamabad. This route was by far the absolut Beautiful part of my entire trip. The chinese fee was expensive 4000 USD and I found 6 travellers on this site and we shared the cost.

I am thinking along the same lines, although Switzerland to Australia, depending on the possibility to travel. I am still considering route options but I suspect much will depend on which countries are open and the civil unrest, eg. Myanmar at present.
