interesting... I wish I had the $ and time to do that... :drool:

think i'd get a diff bike though. like a ully

I think the guy's point was to do it on a sport bike... as it had never been done.

I'd probably do a Ully or a GS1200...

Awesome, I love it. I would be interested in finding out the amount of planning that went into that. Like where he stayed at night, how he secured the bike, who his traveling partners were etc etc.

Thanks for sharing, awesome idea.

Maybe a VFR800....

sweet. I'm wondering how much fun that'd be to do that on the most insane performance bikes on earth and the hell with comfort.

Sweet, Yamaha should be hella proud that their bike survived that. I liked the part where his bike is shitting mud out the tailpipe :rockout:

Looks like he went with standard street tires, wonder what he would've had to do to run knobbies

How the fuck do I get sponsored to ride motorcycles around the world?

There is another video of him out there with studded tires on the bike.

And as far as the reliability of the bike, he's replaced quite a few parts on that bike, like the internal parts of the engine, large parts of the bike in general (cracked swingarm anyone?), lots of other shit?

His website has most of the details if you speak dutch.

I like the 919 dual sport one better...

OSP you should make the tiller a dual sport/street fighter :lol:

You are a homo for suggesting it.

:lol: serious... all you'd need is long travel suspension... you're already removing all the other shit useless shit that adds weight... granted it'll always be a heavy sob... but I don't think it'd be that bad :idk:

I have no desire for an dual sport bike.

fair enough... figured you might be with your fondness for road trips...

There was discusssions of picking up some dual sports and rocking route 66... or what's left of it...

that'd be bad ass...

I'd LOVE to do the "long way round" in reverse... New York to London...

just can't afford it... and the next time I'll be able to take 3+ months off... will be in 13 years when I retire from the military. at which time I'll be 41

I envy that dudes time and money...
