these YouTube creators are some of the best. even if you do not like the bike the video is great in cinematography and dialog.

Underpowered for sure - but power isn't everything. An experienced rider friend took a (non-Scram) Himalayan for a spin & he was surprised because he said he felt immediately comfortable on it - no adjustment period, just hop on and head down a dirt road."If it ain't broke, you're not trying." - Red GreenComment

Re: some motorbikes. . .
I have my much loved 83' airhead in Germany. I am getting concerned about the years on her and not being ridden. To bring her back home will be about 1500. Last September I learned I really enjoyed the slow ride. I don't need to kick it up to beyond 110 Kilometers per hour nor do I need to carry much. I am thinking a bike below 500cc that gets 60 miles to the gallon/ 220 miles to a tank would be a fine choice. If i took a year to prep out a new Enfield Scram or BMW 310gs - 2024 could be a year of the long ride.
Minimalist in many ways - taking only great rider backpack with only essentials.

Full tank with a stabilizer. It will come out in a few weeks for a full fluid service, change and lube. The airhead specialist charges only 40 euros an hour.
A new set of Bridgestone Battaxe 46s will complete the prep. Bridgestones have become quite excellent at making tires for older frames and wide variety of riding conditions. The remarkable upgrade gives these old bikes (enen Norton and Triumph) new spirited life better than ever. Tires that heat up quick in all temps, have great arc and last over 12,000 kilometers or more. 300 for the set installed is not bad.
