Inappropriate bike????..or what!
Im in the latter stages of trip planning (Europe Turkey,Iran,Pakistan India,Nepal,Thailand,Laos,Cambodia,Ausand NZ) and had intended taking a Yam XT660 when I leave(early May)I`ve riden Yamahas for years and reckon they are the best of the Japanese manufacturers IMHO!I also have a FZ1 Fazer that I bought last Autumn and I love it.To throw a spanner in the works one of my friends suggested that instead of the XT why not take the FZ1 and at least when I get to NZ i`ll have something good to run around on(I intend on spending at least 3 months in NZ) before coming home(May /June 09 )Is it a feasible option?I know people say you can tour on any bike,but can you really!!!Im not intending doing any off roading as such,the occasional dirt /gravel road.The more I think about it the more of a challenge it seems.Appreciate any opinions.
