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

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.
