Yamaha V-star and the Pan American hwy?
I've heard of stories of people doing RTW's on just about every kind of bike. I have a Yamaha V-star 650. My questions are- Is it possible to do the Pan American Hwy starting in California and ending in Buenos Aires on the V-Star? Obviously I am not going to attempt any off road riding thats too hairy but I was wondering if the normal road conditions, especially in C.America, are ridable? What will be the major disadvantages of the bike? Will there be any advantages? What about bike theft- I ask this because the V-star is a flashy bike and other people (people who haven't done the trip or been to C.America)have expressed concern to me about this. The bike is a gift. I do not have the funding to buy another on top of saving for the trip. So the V-Star it is. I'll appreciate any further advice.
Thanks in advance,
Adrian
