R 80G/S PD or R1200GS/Adv
Hello,
I'm currently planing a tour from North to Southamerica beginning in May 2011 for about 6-8 months. I know that is still very far away,
but I'm still at the beginning of my planningphase.
At the moment here in Germany I drive since almost 4 years and nearly 50000km a R1200GS/Adv without any problems, but I'm not sure whether the ADV is the right bike for that long Travel - especially in Middle- and Southamerica.
I think, that any technical problems with the 1200 GS I can not resolve myself, particularly because the complicated electronics.
Do you think that the Adv is now technically so perfect, that I can dare this trip with the R1000GS/ADV?
How is the BMW Service in South America? Do I have there any chance to get help in the Case of problems?
Alternative I could buy a R80 G/S PD in good condition with less than 90000km.
My question is, what is the better machine for such a trip? What do you think?
Thank you for your answers and please excuse my bad English
Kajo
