So, my travelling chum and myself had a brainwave today. We decided this year we fancied shoving a couple of trailies in the back of my van and driving down to Portugal with them, unloading them and then buggering off across country (off road) for a few days.
Thing is we have both got an R100GS (too big for what we want to do) and other assorted unsuitable bikes. We both fancied buying a small trailie for the job. What would those with more experience than I recommend?
The criteria would be:
Probably £2-3K max.
Ability to strap minimal camping gear on.
Road legal.
My off-road experience is minimal (a little but not a lot). My mate is competent (i.e. better than me).
A full on pogo probably not suitable as we will be on the bikes all day and are not aiming for any heroics.
We wondered about DR350, XR250/400 or bikes of a similar ilk. Any advice/opinions would be most gratefully received.
