Update
Well, when it was good it was very very good, but when it is bad it is horrid!!
I am now stuck in the arse-end of the middle of nowhere trying to find valve shims for a Ducati (they are so small, why didn't I pack any for the trip???)
If you like tinkering on your bike the Cagiva is an excellent, excellent bike. I can pick it up when I drop it, for long distances it cruises at 120-140 kmh with TKC80's on over shithouse roads wih not so much as a wobble, and in the dirt it is truly confidence inspiring (esp for a beginner).
As knackered as it is now I will be damned if I am going to leave it in Siberia for the wolves....
ps -big engine problems meant that I never made it to Mongolia, ran out of money in Kazakhstan and am coming home with my tail between my legs. I guess I lose the status of adventure tourer and become one man on an extended holiday. Bugger.
