I didn't know Austin and Lois were riding Honda CRF250L's. Can you post a link to something about this?
Last I checked in with them they were riding the USA in a side car hack.
Before that Lois rode a XT250 Yamaha around Africa (White Knuckles book) and an XT225 Serow from Alaska to Tierra del Fuego ... Lois on the Loose book (with about 50 breakdowns along the way!).
And of course most know about Austins' RTW travels and the two films produced riding Suzuki DR350's.
Austin also did a Morocco/Africa trip ... I believe aboard a DRZ400 Suzuki.
If they've switched to Honda, I can understand why. So far the CRF250L is proving to be tough and reliable over the long term. This Thai made bike seems to be a good one.
PS: Dozens of riders on DR650's have done RTW ... but mostly S. America, where at present at least 5 DR's are on the road down there. Some DR's in Africa too now. All doing pretty well aside from those geniuses who do ill advised modifications and think they know more than Suzuki do.
