Hello!
My name is Matthias, I'm 28 years old, from Sweden. This is my first post on this forum and I must say I've found a whole lot of great inspiration for adventures here!
Me and two friends have been dreaming of a longer motorcycle adventure for quite some time, and lately we have been discussing it a bit more frequently. Initially we had a dream of buying ourself bikes in India and ride through Nepal, Bhutan, Burma, Thailand, Malaysia and finally through Indonesia, but I guess we would need several months to do this trip, right? Our plan is to ride as much offroad as possible, which obviously would make the trip even longer.
By registering on this forum and posting here I turn to people with a lot more experience than any of us. All three of us are experienced enduro riders, but we have never done anything like this before.
Basically we cannot be away for more than two months (we all have jobs here in Sweden and I have a girlfriend who doesn't want me to be away for any time longer).
- What country/countries would give us the biggest adventure and best offroad riding?
-Where could we buy decent bikes? Preferably we want something maintenance free like the Honda XR. The XR400 or XR650 would be nice, but I haven't seen these in south-east asia.
Or could we ship or own bikes to asia and then back home after the trip? I've been trying to find info on this without sucess.
i've got a lot more on my mind, but I start with this
Best regards,
Matthias
