After driving around on little scooters for many years, I finally have something to properly carry me across the Andes. 😍

    Good choice, my workhorse bike is a 2021 Himalayan (so, basically the same bike but with some extra crap on the front)

    One tip: It’s good in mountains, but if it’s over 40°C and you have a constant 1 in 4 or steeper uphill for more than a couple of km, it’s going to get overheated.

    Not a big problem, when I’ve had that I just stop and enjoy cooling off in the shade with my bike, and after half an hour we’re both good to go again :-)

    That is one awesome looking bike! I love when the engine is in the frame instead of part of the frame
