Which motorcycles do you recommend for South America or RWT?
We are currently driving an Africa Twin CRF 1100 (built in 2020, 30,000 km) and a KTM 790 Adventure (built in 2019, 50,000 km on it). We are now considering whether it would be better to buy other machines instead for a long trip, especially through South America (we plan to be on the road for at least 1 year in total). We were thinking of two new Honda CRF 300 Rally (not everything is an option because I am very small under 1.6m and therefore cannot drive every machine). We are thinking about the availability of spare parts, ease of repairs, costs for service and maintenance, but also costs for transport (shipping etc.) but of course also handling off-road and actually whether you are less noticeable with smaller, simpler, cheaper machines and are therefore perhaps safer on the road. On the other hand, we are of course used to our machines, they have a lot of power, can easily transport large amounts of luggage and have a corresponding level of riding comfort and the bikes are in top condition (we are the first owners, have always had everything done, have extended warranties) and have so far only experienced our machines as good and reliable, although both of them obviously have a lot of electronics built in (riding modes, quick shifter, cruise control etc.). Let us know what you think about them and what you would recommend?
