TDM 850 or 900 as a Travel bike - Discuss !
After selling my arse numbing but wonderfully reliable and capable XT600E in Colombia, im looking for something for some European road bashing..
Now, I work in a large Motorcycle dealership and I have the opportunity to buy a lovely Yamaha TDM 850 for not a lot of money.
Now, i know this is an underated bike and apart from that, I dont really know much about it apart that its a large parrallel twin with a 18/17 inch wheels and pretty good handling and comfort..
So, anyone done any serious travelling on one ???
Whats it like in rougher stuff ? (worse than an Africa twin ?)
Tyre choice ?
Reliabilty ?
Luggage options ?
Thanks all.
