Lot to research
Hi
I am 57 years old and three years from retiring, I would not class myself as an experienced bike rider. I rode a small trail and tiny road bike on and off in my 20s never rode again until a few years ago, I now ride regularly a 125 scooter around Asia 2 up with my wife. I have ridden in Hanoi, Bangkok and Phnom Penh and at home (Australia) I ride a 400 SYM scooter.
I am considering riding from here (Aust) to London when we retire. My wife has no license or confidence to ride so we will have to do it 2up. I have researched different bikes to take and get more confused the more I read. I think I have nutted it down to a Honda CB 500x or a suzuki 650 v strom but not entirely sure. To a novice like me these bikes still seem miles apart with the 650 heaver and higher seat. Hence registering here to ask more questions.
