Bandziiau foto prikabinti, kazko nelabai pavyko, turbut del prasto wireles rysio. Siuo metu esu Karibuose todel neturiu normalaus prejimo prie interneto. Kai grisiu butinai imesiu.
Beje, laukiu daugiau nuomoniu su pasisakymais.

Na taip, jau pastebejau, kad BMW reiktu primesti bent dar 500 euru. Na tuomet pakelkim kartele iki 4000euru. Beje motocikla priksiu vokietijoje, planuoju isigyti su kelioniniais krepsiais, zodziu pilna komplekta. Gal kas patartu, jei rinkciausi BMW R 1100 GS, koks ju tarnavimo laikas, turiu omenyje rida. Nes pagrinde tokie motociklai parsiduoda su rida didesne nei 50000km o jei rida nedidele tada kaina gerokai virsyja galimybes. Galbut tada geriau butu rinktis is kitu mano minetu variantu. Siaip akis "uzkliuvo" uz Aprilia Caponord.

Is the big BMW GS a good choice?

Yes, if you are going two-up, both of average size and wish to feel comfortable. However, if the pillion is less than 170 cm high and weighs less than 60 kg, and the rider less than 180 cm, there is more to choose from - the bike does not have to be that big. In fact, anything goes that is between 600-1200cc, but extremists can manage two-up even on a 50cc. So it's all depending on conditions you plan to ride in and "endurance" / comfort limits of your own rear end.

Chain or shaft drive?

For such a trip, my choice would most certainly be a shaft drive again. Over all that distance and through all that dirt, a chain would mean too much work and too much oil on my hands and clothes (be it with an automatic oiler or not), and I would not liked it. It would be great if manufacturers came up with "medium class" (600-800cc) bikes that had a shaft drive - right now it is only the "mammoths" (800+cc bikes) that have this fantastic system installed and there're no aftermarket manufacturers offering shaft-drive "convert" kits that I know of.

Best suspension?

Hyperpro, hands down. Those that are in the planning stages of a bigger trip - please forget all the hype about Öhlins and Wilbers that you see and hear. In this RR you can see how little they lasted under the same bike in direct comparison. We spent SILLY CRAZY amounts of money on repairing Wilbers and Öhlins while the Hyperpro just worked!
