I've had a listen to the podcast, and I get everyone loves their own bike. I'm really lucky, I have two Nomad uprated Husqvarna bikes, an FE350 and a 701. I love the 350 on snotty, technical trails but 10 hour oil and filter changes mean for big trips the 701 takes some beating. So for me, if I'm riding with mates on enduros on short, sub 3 day trips, the 350. For multi day trips, I'll take the heavier and trail slower but tarmac quicker 701. I readily recognise I am properly lucky to be able to choose between an adventure enduro and an adventure dual sport but if I were forced to keep just one bike, it'd be the 701. If I were confident with valve clearances, maybe I'd have the 350, but I know my mechanical skills. Simple stuff, I'll manage. So the oil and filter changes on the 350 take me about 20 minutes. I love them both but for TET riding, the 701 takes some beating.

Agreed. The 701/690 is the best when they are working.

I haven't been on the English TET - but I have ridden Denmark, Norway, Slovenia, Croatia and some of Italy - and people should not be discouraged from trying it on bigger bikes. I did it on a transalp, and it's really not that demanding

Hi Martin, of course everyone has their own ideas about this and bigger bikes are completely capable! We can only give our options as we go

Watch this space.... we will be having a heated debate with a couple of big bike riders on the podcast. Inevitably they will be made to look foolish and sell their behemoths... maybe not 😜

It also depends on the terrain. TET UK is very different to TET Norway for example. There are parts of TET UK that would very very challenging (possibly dangerous) on a big bike for an average rider.

@@clivebarber Absolutely. Finland, easy on a Tiger/GS. Strata Florida on anything bigger than a dual sport would range from difficult to impossible to dangerous. TET Portugal I think is a cut off. If you're really good and confident, maybe doable on a bigger Adv, but for me, my 701 was as big as I'd go. Maybe T7 if I had one.

Greg - it was amazing to see my comment make it into your adventurespec email! So I am an avid listener of the TAMP pod and as always, it was great to get everyone's perspective on the trip and the bikes. My biggest disappointment was that there was no in depth on the 310GS (which happens to be the bike I've recently downsized to - with full Rally Raid treatment no less!). But the CRF was my other choice and so I'm still looking for more perspective as there may still be a CRF in my future :)
