I shipped my WR250R from Australia over to London, then rode it around for about 3 months through a bunch of countries. England, Belgium, France, Spain, Andorra, Switzerland, Italy, Slovenia and Croatia. I touched into a couple of other countries but those were the main ones.
Its still living there while I'm back at home. I'm returning in May to continue my travels.
The bike has a 12L tank (good for about 250 to 300kms), upgraded and revalved suspension, pannier racks and a luggage rack. I added some little extras and other parts while it was still in Aus.
So far it's completed about 27k kms. Ive had to adjust the clutch a couple of times, a few tyres and I threw a new chain/ sprocket combo on before leaving Aus. The first valve check is at 40k kms and I'm sure they'll be in spec still.
If you're after a dead reliable, cheap to own little touring bike and don't ride much freeway this is a great option.

Nice! I just picked up a new motorcycle owned by the KTM brand as well and can't wait for the show to melt too!

Nice! My knowledge ends at the the 300cc
I wanted a 300 but the price was right on the 250 I live a couple miles from hundreds of miles of single track. The motorcycle should allow me to make better use of it than my mountain bike

Best ones are about 3.5 hours away. And that's just to get to the trailhead.....

LOL....I was going to turn it into my bourbon bar upstairs but, just not enough room. Hanging on the wall would have been interesting but also not sure my walls could hold 400 lbs....Love the idea!
