Running in the 90's!
Not the most popular choice for remote roads but as long as it's mostly asphalt the Universal Japanese Motorcycles do their trick just fine. We are riding for 10 days, around 350kms daily, smaller roads and sand roads in Lapland in Finland. Weather has been amazing, it's not too busy either and nights are still warm enough for camping.
The yellow -99 Suzuki GS500e is actually my first bike and first motor vehicle I've ever owned, I bought it in really worn out condition 3 years back and have pretty much fixed every bit that can be fixed and it has been a great teacher! I've put around 20k on it so far. My partner is riding a -96 Honda CB750 which is definitely more comfotable for touring that my GS. ๐
It's actually possible to take a night train from Lapland that also transports vehicles back south so we will ride our bikes in the train and skip a couple boring riding days to spend a few more nights riding in the north.
My first bike was a similar vintage GS500 that I similarly bought cheap and poured a lot of time and sweat into. I eventually upgraded to a new bike that actually worked the first time every time without me constantly tinkering. ๐ I loved that little Suzuki though and learned a ton on and inside it.
Sounds like a great time! Have fun and stay safe!
