Nice!
I'm planning the trip with my friends atm through facebook group chat. This is what we came up with so far... https://goo.gl/BlFCJE on top of that for me add 3200km's to travel from UK to PL and back.
More than that I'd hope!! aim for 200-300 miles a day at most, unless you're doing mostly motorway and have comfy bikes. Believe me, doing 400 miles and spending 12 hours riding every day, is not fun.
That's part of the problem! lol
The plan is to do 500km's on day 1, than 2nd day barley any after that around 200-250km's per day (if nothing interesting on the way we'll do as much as possible). Overall it'll be around 20 days on a bike, possibly more than that.
The trip from UK to PL will be rushed (2 days), I'll go to a hotel for 1 night. By car constantly driving it takes around 20-22 hours.
So 22-23 days for the whole trip, overall I'll spend a whole month on the bike.

What do you guys reckon? If I offer him £3200 it could be a bargain! Mileage is a non issue as it has full dealer service history!

You know that when you are close to 40k it'll be really hard to sell this bike? I'm aiming for 15k tops, I'll pile miles on it and sell it on.
It's a non issue for me, the bike will be kept for 3-4 years and then I'll move onto something else.

I've said that KTM will stay with me intill I pass A2 and buy a 2nd bike. I quickly changed my mind...
Your arse will be sore! And not in a fun way!
What other fun way is it when your arse is sore ?
Met the same guy as yesterday on the same piece of road.....
He was filtering down moving traffic (fine as its a really wide road) and then stops behind a car but keeps the position of back right of the car. I move to his mirror and wait for a few mins but he's not checking them or he's just not moving over... I wait for a gap in oncoming traffic and take a wide ark to overtake him and the car he's stuck to the back of.
Hope he improves soon
