        Those people who tell you not to take chances
        They are all missing on what life is about
        You only live once so take hold of the chance

          Awesome pics and writeup Bunny.
          You sure know how to take your fellow bikers along with you on the trip with the help of your words.

          the place, town, mountains and everything captured in pics are damn inviting.

          Seems like a must place for bikers for a perfect getaway.

          waiting for the rest of the log

            @Bunny-Sooperb stuff!!

            And considering that you have done it on one of my top priority bike made it even more interesting to read.Bring on the rest of the log and pictures as soon as possible.

            One more thing if in the end you can post a short review as to how practical will this bike be for touring in India and when I say touring I mean all kind of roads and terrains then it will be simply great.I will eagerly wait for your report.

              @Bunny: The second set of photographs are really amazing; some of them even more so! And that text is oh so interesting as well. The roads, adorned by those green vistas all around makes for a perfect frame.

              Thank you so much for sharing these with us. I am really in love with the whole atmosphere. Not many people are as lucky as you are Bunny. Really.

              @MG: I knew it instantly that you would be the first one to ask for such a review, when I saw Bunny did it on an KTM!

                MG and his KTM dream will come true...nobody has ever wanted a KTM bike more than him.

                @Bunny - superb write-up. Reminds me of my Europe trip during which I covered 3000kms in the new C220 Merc. But a bike is better than a cage and I hope to be there again next year in Aug-Sep.

                        Well, i did take it off the road on more than one occasion. the suspension copes up pretty nicely but the only issue is the height of the seat. Even i had a tough time keep both my feet firmly on the road / off-road
                        Apart from that, for normal touring, the bike is too good. On the whole trip, it returned an overall economy of around 17kmpl

                              Finally after 195km, i reached Zell Am See. I had been to this lake side town on two occasions earlier. It did take me a good half hour to find a decent and cheap place for the night and finally when i found it, it was worth it.

                              39 Euros for bed and breakfast with my own balcony seemed worth it.


                              You bet its a steal bro , I would almost end up paying more than 75Euros a night including Breakfast for something like this if it is in Germany or France...
