Hi, I am 47 years old, standing at 5'9" and weigh around 79 kg.
I love touring 9especially in Thailand) and my tours usually cover from 500km to 3000km (round trip).
I ride mostly on roads, (even I have some MX experience in the past) but certainly wouldn't mind if i have to go offroad, depending on the terrain that greets me while travelling.
I also fancy the Cameron Highlands to Gua Musang road (via Pos Slim) as I do love doing a bit of 0.0000005% of Valentino Rossi myself.
I am looking forward to purchase my first BMW motorcycle, which I intend to purchase by the end of this year.
Pls advie me which type and model would be suitable for me.
I am presently looking at the F 650 GS as its chain driven , liteweight and also I think is very easy to handle when u are tire during those long trips.
All replies appreciated.
