I've been working in Luxembourg since April and live just over the border in France, cause it's a lot cheaper.
There's a whole lot of great riding country around here, albeit a bit tame (No dirt roads to speak of and impossible to get lost, abducted or any other kind of adventurous stuff.)
But I need a bike and my budget is not big.
Enter the Honda CB500x
48HP, nice little twin cylinder, apparently bullet proof. Just very small wheels and not a massive suspension travel. For bashng across Africa, maybe not, but for here, pretty great fun. I test rode one and it IS fun, but feels a bit dinky next to my Tiger 800XC.
Enter the Rally Raid upgrade Kit....
and Voila, to coin a French Phrase...
