Title: Touring on the 600
Post by: midden on 01 October 2013, 02:01:32 am
Sure there is a post which answers this but the European tours seem to be done on the 1000's.
what's the furthest tour ventured on the 600

Been in the arctic circle, to the Finnish/Russian border, through Moroccan desert and over the years ridden in 25 countries (or 28 if you split the UK out), so I think the 600 is fine for touring :)

I've done Czech Republic and back twice. This year's route via the Tyrol and Dolomites. No problems (apart from a sore arse)

I may not hold the record for furthest gone on a Fazer 6, but possibly the record for most crap loaded on to one! North London to Brittany, via Portsmouth.


And that's why I decided to get the trailer...  :eek

Farjo didn't intend to go so far.  He just wasn't great at reading a map......


When is the next trip Frazer?

not abroad, but 1926 miles from john o' groats to lands end return trip, piled up with luggage for two and a pillion!


squashed but excellent fun. the 600 never missed a beat, comfy enough for the distance and sporty enough for a good blast on the roads!


Where you planning a trip to?
