Just a thought
Col,
Have a think about giving your negotiation and search skills a burl. Even if it costs a small bribe here and there, you will save a small fortune and quite a few head aches more importantly time!
2 up on a 200, yep a little cramped but still good fun and you dont need to carry much at all, thats the beauty of Asia. You will find mechanics, clothes, food and good accommodation everywhere, better still it's all cheap as chips and and about 1 10th of the hastle!
A word of caution:
Offer half of the bike value (do your homework) as a deposit and not much more, heard about scams where your bike gets pinched by the vendors mate, a nice little double whamy!
Just food for thought mate,
Cheers Dave
