hi all!
I was given the link to this forum on on advrider as I moved to the Netherlands and I am looking for advices. First of all, hello everyone!
I am now trying to find the most suitable bike for me which is extremely difficult. I'm planning to do mostly weekend rides, maybe once a week ride to my work via highway. In addition to that, I plan to do longer trips like 1 or 2 weeks long once or twice a year. (for instance 2011 I'm planning trip to Norway).
Having said that, I think suitable bike for me is kind of F800GS or KTM 690 enduro, etc. I know these are totally different bikes with pros and cons but what do you think about it regarding my needs? I've also never ridden this kind of bikes. In the past, I rode sport bike.
My other concern is if there are any nice places to ride offroad in the Netherlands? Where do you use your bikes? Is it mostly on the cross tracks or you know some really good places to enjoy riding and improve skills? Or maybe it's mostly that you pack your bike on the car's trailer, drive hundreds kms before you can reach anything nice?
Thanks in advance for any reply.
