Europe and Austrailia, which bikes?
Hello all,
I know this gets asked frequently but I have been pouring over these forums for days and I feel I am a little closer to an answer but still have questions.
My wife and I are planning on doing a tour of Europe and Australia starting this September. Neither of us have ridden a bike before so our plan is to buy our bikes in the next month to ride all summer here in preparation for our trip. I am 6'1" and my wife is 5'2" tall. We also have a Jack Russell that will be accompanying us on this trip. I have narrowed things down to the BMW F650GS, Kawasaki KLR650, or the Suzuki V-Strom 650 (DL650). I would expect we will go down some dirt and gravel roads but not a lot of offroading hence the Suzuki choice.
I want us to have the same bikes for ease of repair but I do not know if there are lower seat height options for the Suzuki and Kawasaki, the BMW seems to address this issue easily. Also my wife is only 95lbs so I want her bike to be light.
Has anyone traveled with a dog in one of these?
