Update: have reached Lima
Hi Folks,
An update to this thread. Just letting you know that I’ve ridden my R1200GS from Boston>Philly>Denver>Mexico>Central America>Lima, Peru. Will continue down to Ushuaia, Argentina and Valparaiso before shipping my bike and deciding where/how to do my next RTW segment.
The R1200GS has worked fine for the most part. There have been times, when it would’ve been easier to have a lighter bike. I’ve never needed the power of this bike. But I do like its comfort and refinement.
Might seem sacrilegious - especially on this forum - but I’m still wrestling with the question of best mode of travel for different parts of the world. Personally I feel a lot lighter once I’ve reached a town to ditch the bike and walk around on foot or take mass transit. It seems lighter and more flexible. The bike is used to get me between towns.
