I went to the Caribbean on holiday with my wife last year.

Jamaica?

No, she wanted to.

Would 'round the world' include jungles and stuff?

I think it would have to be a Japanese single pot 600-650 trail bike.
Probably a DR 650, if bought in the UK it would be a new imported one.
Other than that I can only think of a Honda C90.

I was thinking about thisvery thing on the loo the other day. For me it would have to be something oil/air cooled.

I would want a simple bike that i could fix and would not be broken by a simple fall.

I reckon a VanVan would do it..... albeit slowly.... now if it was a 250 instead of a 125 that'd be even better
