The bikes....
Nev's - 2004 Suzuki DR650
Andy's - 2003 Yamaha XT600E
Both big-bore thumpers that are air-cooled. No radiator problems, no water pump problems, no "water in the oil" problems, no worries.
Both ultra reliable, as they do not produce loads of power but depend on longevity.
Why Nev on a DR and Andy on an XT....simple...The DR does not meet European emissions so hasn't been imported into the UK since about 1992 making it very difficult to get a good used one. The XT was never imported into Canada so we ride different bikes.
The tyres are the same size 17" rear and 21" front as 18" tyres are very difficult to find in Russia where we will need to get more.
