Not an easy ride with a Fino... well done.

Sorry to say this, but to ride for such long journey and in foreign land on such a small machine is quite foolish in my opinion.

 

Would not encourage others to follow in your footsteps.

[gixxer 73]

No money to buy big bikes but like to tour....hehe...

Actually, I think it's alright.

 

It's not the most comfortable ride due to the frequent fuel top ups and the vibration but in terms of serviceability, it's the best bike to be riding around with in Asia and especially Thailand. There is no lack of spares for this bike in any part of TH.

 

You can load the machine on any pickup or pop by any bike shop and they can fix it up for you. Even a makeshift repair on the road should suffice until you get it fixed.

 

In the event of a really big issue, you can just leave it in a corner and not loose any sleep while you get some help.

 

With a bigger bike, it is definitely difficult to get spares but the ride is so much more comfortable and there are far less fuel stops.

 

Riding a bigger bike is safer and faster but then again it all depends on the rider.

I believe that when it comes to long-distance touring, it's more the rider than the bike; you can go anywhere (that's properly paved) as long as you have a reliable machine. It'll just take longer, your ass will be more sore, and you'll have to always worry about the next fuel stop.

 

I found ReBornBikeR's comment quite offensive, really. Putting someone down because he's done something beyond your own comfort level is not nice at all. Riders who insist that one can only tour on a big bike are like douchebags with big fat prosumer DSLRs telling others using point-and-shoots that they can't take good photographs, and that no one else should try unless they have "proper gear".

 

Props to the OP for doing something I wouldn't have. The Fino's a great little scooter (rode it around Chiang Mai and barely made it up and down Doi Suthep with it), but I don't see myself enjoying long rides on it. I plan to ride up to Pai on my DRZ400SM, though.

Big or small doesn't matters.... My frd thinking of Cambodia on a GN125. It's the rider....
