Kyrgyzstan Motorcycle Trip. August 2021. (long edit) 

Yes, thank you - it was the best ride ever. :)

Dzięki! Taki był właśnie pomysł, żeby złapać trochę energii w zimny listopadowy wieczór :)

Dzięki, Romeo :)

Thank you for your visit and a comment, Johannes! Next year plan is in the cooking stage at the moment, but it already gives a promise of a great taste! :)

@@rfk76 That's awesome, can't wait to see what you guys end up doing. I need to find a way to work less so I could travel more. Life is too short to sit at work six times a week and only do one epic trip a year!

Hej Paweł i dzięki za komentarz. Nasze przypadkowe spotkanie w Albanii wciąż wysoko na liście przebojów motocyklowych! :) A Kirgistan zacny, warto jechać. Pozdro!

Danke schön :)

Dzięki za komentarz, Piotr! :) Zachęcam i polecam, miejsce do motocyklowych przygód jest idealne.

Hey there and thank you for the comment! 1. Yes, I have upgraded my CRF 250 suspension to full Ohlins in front and Ohlins spring on factory shock on the rear. More on that here: facebook.com/groups/HondaCRF25LOweners/posts/2081571278653075/ With this much luggage it was mandatory and I still suffered on the rear sometimes (my registration plate got catched by the tire a few times) 2. If I were doing the same trip there again I would still like to do it on a lighter bike than most of two cylinder bikes. I really felt in control and had a lot of fun on that ~150kg bike, but of course I was wishing for more power sometimes (going uphill, high altitude, low quality fuel, fully loaded). And that is why I have switched to 701 Enduro after the return - it weight 2kg less than CRF250Rally, has 2 ponies more than T7 and has 10k km service intervals. But how will it work during trips like this one, I am about to see in 2022 :) Cheers!

@@CykloGamonie perfect. Thanks. I’m planning a solo trip so this bike would be perfect I think. Also looking at 890 adventure cuz I’m pretty short (170cm) Everything else is too tall and heavy.

JRides, if I were there by myself next time, I would definitely look for the lightest bike possible. It is important to know that on those levels of altitude it is even more difficult to pick up a bike because of lower level of oxygen in the air. It is harder to breath, you get tired faster... For the R1200GS on Tossor Pass, the 3 of us were lifting it and it was quite a challenge. And you very rarely see other people there... So 890 Adv, as great bike as it is, it is still over 200kg + luggage... for a solo ride there, it might be too much adventure sometimes. If you are an experienced rider, it might be doable thou... but go there for sure! it is a beautiful place :) Cheers!

@@CykloGamonie yea I still have time so maybe I should start doing some squats 😅 thanks for the info and all the best for your next trip!
