For my 1987 Yamaha Tenere, I have an original Ohlin suspension that’s already been around the world some 20 years ago. Better get that serviced! But on opening up – it was worse than we thought..

  1. You are making your life so mush more difficult!! All these changes you better take a mechanic with you. Just take a modern new bike and be done with it.

  2. Yeah, you'll have to get used to the choke. You only need it to start the bike early in the morning or after a long recess. One tends to forget to switch it off sometimes. If that happens, the bike will let you know. It suddenly feels like it's running out of gas and it can't speed up. Good luck with the whole new adventure!

  3. Noraly taking path or Ra and Kon-Tiki instead of using Cruise line ((((
    I don’t like this bike at all. It’s outdated piece of garbage. And more of all it’s doesn’t have affordable spare parts 😮

  4. I used to have a Tenere and it's a really good choice for your upcoming adventures! I'm amazed that the Dutch authorities allowed you to register the bike, though, with no horn or speedo?

  5. Noraly, thank you for sharing this episode's adventure. I'm enjoying the cookout, archery, loading suspension components into your car, etc. I nearly feel like I'm actually there with the 3 of you! Rasmus and Moritz are ũber kewl.

  6. Big mistake to depend on a 30 year old bike with limited or outdated parts availability. In addition it has outdated engineering . These fellas who put this Frankenstein bike together specialize in putting together old bikes for nostalgic purposes. Not practical purposes. Now you have to rely on a tiny hole in the wall garage to get you around the world .

  7. Big difference relying on the world of Honda and its unlimited factory advice and support as compared to a couple of nice guys with a knack for salvaging parts to build a Frankenstein bike with bits and pieces lying around. Wouldn’t have been me to rely on this bike to get me around the world.

  8. seems that comparison isn't welcomed here. who has a modern bike, but also rode an old school one, knows pretty good the reliability of the oldies. modern bikes, for marketing reasons i think, they just don't last as much as old bikes, despite there shiny look. simplicity always last longer and longer trips need simply much well made bikes no matter new or old. i'll never trade my carb twin cylinder bike with an injection one. Noraly has a good experienced point.
