Am I missing something with regards to bike choice?
Howdy.
Looking for two bikes, one for me 6'0 and the Mrs 5'5.
Riding north from Chile, hopefully into north America.
We're after the same two bikes.
We want small, light, reliable, low seat height (less than 830mm) and an air-cooled motor.
I'm thinking a Honda ctx200 ag bike.
Why?
Comfortable 90km/h speed
Good racks and protection
Reliable
Comfortablish seat
Quite cheap
Low seat
Only downsides are:
Fuel range (will bring an extra 5 liters for 300km range)
Parts avail in north America (can work around, and there's some interchangeability from other Hondas)
Previously, we were looking at getting a 125, but this equals their speed, holds more and we can set it up at home, before we leave.
Have I forgotten anything?
Just have to check that we can get the bikes into Chile, without too much hassle.....
Thanks.
