After our last big trip in 2007/2009 where we travelled with two different bikes (Thomas on a Honda Afrika Twin and myself first on a BMW F650GS, later we sold the BMW and bought a new Kawasaki KLR in Utah) we are now riding the same bikes.
The new bikes should be light (especially for me handling the weight) and have enough power to ride offroad, should be reliable etc...
our choice fell on the KTM 690
some preparations made....
- bigger tank with new fuel pump
- neoprene fork protectors
- handlebar increase
- lower footpegs
- 12 volt power socket
- additional tool box
- sidestand extension
- bigger windshield
- additional motor protection
- chain oiler
- chain guard extension
- GPS mounting
-radiator protection
