Re: Possible week in France and ...

Re: Touring bike

If speed isn't important then a honda 700 deauville is excellent and cheap as chips with shaft drive... Once rode the 650cc version down to Milan and back with zero problems... Comfort too... After all most of Europe has speed restrictions now...
