To Mongolia and back on two CRF250L

[@mart7404]

Great video. thanks for letting me come along on your trip. I really enjoyed the soundtrack which seems perfect for each location you visited. Just another reason to get out there and see the world. Thanks-a big plus during a Covid lock down

[@ArthurDgn]

thanks!

[@BOSS-ml9in]

Wow guys, this was awesome. Came for the CRF250's but enjoyed every bit of your amazing journey. Inspiring!

[@ArthurDgn]

Thanks!

[@wave6413]

This deserves way more views. I saw it about 2 years ago and finally got the 250 rally (waiting for delivery). Thank you for the upload. 1 year ago I posted, I have had the rally for the year, it is a great machine, CV19 has put the brakes on a lot small bikes doing big adventures, watching again as this a great video.

[@mikealex99]

Incredible journey, thanks for documenting and sharing with us. I bought a CRF250L last year and your video has given me the inspiration to start planning my own journey...thank you!!

[@ArthurDgn]

Thanks! Super happy to hear that :)

[@starlordstarlordman8489]

One of the most engaging videos I have seen. Lovely ride. Thanks for sharing.

[@Flo_Ontheroads]

great bike for this kind of adventure! love to see some small bikes on the roads, so much more fun!

[@omarijohnathan3777]

@Merrick Marcel No problem :D

[@priem2156]

Congrats on your breath taking journey. Small bike which took your so far. No big bikes necessary to have time of your life. I'm really impressed by your idea of trip, courage and skills, especially for the woman.

[@ArthurDgn]

People will go out of their way to help both girls and guys. And it's much harder for girls. Go out and meet the world, it's much nicer than it seems.

[@josefpelc2073]

Amen to that. I'm over the hill, but still hoping to do just tip fracture of what you did. Trully amazing!

[@josefpelc2073]

Amen referring to Arthur Dgn reply...

Epic. Thank you very much for sharing part of this incredible journey. Good luck on next trip 🖖

[@rikherlaar]

Some riding skills required , hats off ...You guys kept a logbook of what broke down and what spare-parts are hard to find outside the western hemisphere etc. Always very interested in the logistics around such an epic project.

[@ArthurDgn]

Thanks! I mentioned the reliability and bike garages and spares in the FAQ in the video description.

[@Truthwelltoldtr]

Bravo. Yassu! If you come to Turkey again I live in Eskisehir and have a CRF 250 Rally. We can ride together to Midas city and the surroundings. Friendly greetings to you. Keep up with the good travelling 👍😀

[@asiaasia2157]

[@ArthurDgn]

thanks! me too :)

[@VPB1970]

This is the way to go. I have both, a Yamaha SuperTenere 1200 and a Honda CRF250 Rally, and my choice to go on trips like this would be the Honda, no doubt whatsoever. Small trails are much lighter, manageable, less tiring and easy to fix on the side of the road (or at any small village mechanic) - not to mention lift off the ground - . If I travel with my wife two up (and luggage) I will go on the SuperTenere (a kind of "tractor" also 100% reliable and capable of caring all) but if I go alone on the bike and mainly off-road I will take the 250 absolutely no doubt about it. The big trails are fantastic to travel long distances two up and on 90%gravel and 10% the "big fire roads" kind of "off-road", in the other hand the small trails are a "do it all" and can cross a continent off road (and on road also) one up. This is what I´v learned in my experiences travelling in Africa. Love both the big trail (for her purpose) and my "real" trail but there's no pretending anybody can do this kind of trip on a monstrous 300 Kgs big trial, no matter what the brand. Gs, KTM etc (non withstanding the fact that they are very competente machines and that some owners still use them properly) became more off a "aventure - style" "show-off " bike. Real adventure are like this, in "real" adventure bikes, for the experience, and not for the sticker or the "show-off"! Congrats, loved the video!

[@cesarsainz7714]

[@JimThomasOutdoors]

An amazing epic journey... and we got to go along for the ride ! Now I REALLY want a pair of Honda CRF250L for my wife and I to explore Colorado and Idaho.

[@grahamambridge8370]

Jim Thomas get the 250l rally version!

[@wallacerobertsconsulting2894]

Note what the authors wrote: "- cons: weak, esp. at altitude." That has also been my experience. Much over 6000' elevation, the CRF250L runs out of breath and becomes a real slug. I'd recommend something with more power.

[@avihairapoport9521]

וואו ארתור! איזה מסע מטורף! מקווה שיהיו לך עוד תכנים. אני עוד זוכר את הערוץ של אנדורו ישראל ;)

Congratulations for both of you! Greetings from Brazil!

[@osimnod]

Very impressive compilation of your tag-team journey. Looks like the Hondas handled everything your trip could throw at them - snow, mud, water crossings, sand and pot holes - with aplomb. Bet Charlie and Ewen wished they had those rigs on LWR. Thanks for sharing the epic trip with such wonderful editing. Cheers!

Beautiful wee movie.Can I be a pest and ask if you could send me a plan of your pannier racks too , its the only thing I can't work out. Such a perfect bike for an adventure trip....with panniers, .... In any case, thank you for sharing your trip, a pleasure to watch.😀

Superb photography and I love the use of local song clips to set out the country visited Were your bikes new at the start ans per preprepped for the journey.Although you did not say i assume they stood the test of time.How did the saddles perforn as you seemed to be standing up a lot in the clips. I myself would have loved some commentry of the places visited and things seen,But as I stated the countries was magnificent as where your portrayal in pictures. I would love to know what cameras and lens you used for your journey Thank you for taking us along.

Thanks! Answers to a lot of your questions are in the info below the video. The bikes weren't new, they were bought used with about 6/12k on each.

[@IDontWantAHandle101]

Perfect bike for the trip. None of this 300+ kilo BMW rubbish. Honda much better quality than any BMW.

[@brusig9397]

you are so right, thanks!!!

[@poqjaq]

Don't forget to mention bout the reliability of the Honda. This thing run forever.

[@UhYeahWhateverDude]

The primary reason I use a Honda to travel Asia is the availability of parts and Honda “mechanics”. Every village has a shop and a guy that can work on a Honda. Can’t get that with a KTM, BMW, etc. even Kawasaki, Suzuki, and other common brands can be scarce to get help with. I have a 250 Rally, and I take that thing everywhere. Sure, I would love to be riding a 690 Enduro R or something like that, but it is simply not practical. Plus, I can pick this thing up all day long without pulling my back out, lol.

[@arvedludwig3584]

@@UhYeahWhateverDude not even Yamaha?

[@UhYeahWhateverDude]

Arved Ludwig Depends on where you are. But no brands even come close to the coverage of Honda. In Asia, you will only get Yamaha parts in cities. But Honda dealers are in every small village - and usually more than one.

I bet. We saw great differences between the remote and central parts, and were sad to see and imagine how the country will lose its character :(

[@Travelingman-1980]

Arthur Dgn , in my book the character went when they started mining 2004. UB has become a huge unplanned shithole. I use to like the idea you could point yourself in any direction in UB and just go, not anymore.

I have a ton of practical questions about your trip like were your CRF250L all stock or you did some mods, what mods? but youtube is not a greatest place for conversations like that.
