Downtown 300 / Hola America del sur
« on: August 30, 2019, 04:38:54 AM »
I plan to ride down to Brazil. And I plan to use the D/T. I have owned tons of very good motorcycle in almost 50 years.
The D/T is the one that has impressed me the most, and it will add years of enjoyment.
I had a seat design for our confort and added a set of 48l givi trekker outback and a 58 l top case. We rode the Baby 110/120 k/h 2up across Canada, USA and Mexico like nothing.
I have 60,000 km on the clock, did the valves twice, change the belt once, the rectifier/stater beign the only issue.
I saw an almost new one 4500 km for $1500. I jump on it right away. I will ride this baby to South America and will be riding it there minimum a few years.
It's not a complaint, I wish it had a longer suspension travel to be more adecuate on gravel road.
The $1000. question how do you manage to ride dirt road. Have you tried any specific tires, any idea how to modify the suspension
