For some 200 kilos is lightweight and for others 140 kilos is heavy, thus its all in the eye of the beholder….
-Honda Crf300 Rally, maybe not enough oumph for you? Will most probably need a suspension upgrade and some other stuff to make a decent travel machine.
- Royal Enfield Himalayan - heavy and slow and not as reliable as the best of japanese bikes but should still be given a consideration…
-KTM 390 Adv - its really a street bike with some moderate off road potential. Good value for money but on the heavy side of light?
-Suzuki DRZ400 - not the greatest gear ratio for highways, carburated and old school…
- Yamaha XT600 a much used overlander bike. Old school, carburated and maybe hard to find a decent one nowadays…
-Suzuki Dr650 - very old school, carburated and in need of some mods but a very proven overlander bike. Almost impossible to find in Europe.
KTM/Husqvarna 690/701 Enduro - powerful and relatively nimble and lightweight machines. But will need some upgrades (bigger gas tanks etc etc) and how about reliability?
-Husqvarna 701 Enduro Long Range - the perfect travel bike? Was only made 1 year or was it 2???
