    I feel so ignorant. I am looking at Africa Twins and this channel has been a huge help. I stumbled onto it a few weeks ago and am blown away that someone so passionate and young has passed away. After watching hours of footage I stumbled onto some comments saying he died and am so sad. This channel is inspiring to thousands of people and am so deeply sad to learn about the loss of such a giant in the motorcycle community.

I was at the top of the switch backs to Song-Kul in your video but did not make it to Song-Kul...too much snow in April. For a small country, I was amazed by the views. I would recommend a visit to the Tash Rabat Caravanserai for anyone visiting the area. Cheers from the USA and thank you for sharing your journey.

      @@jeffdean7666 Anything lighter will be better for offroad purpose. From 790 to 701 to tenere 700 to even gs 850(with lower CG and lift points) etc. On the open road and long touring (that this bike was meant for) the others are worse of course.

      Some thing not too heavy for you. Africa Twin it big, heavy bike, but for longe range adventure, its great. TW 200 is light, but not realy a long haul bike, due to it being too slow.
