Thinking of one of these for slower fun:

But have also had this catch my eye,

how reliable/unreliable is the 750 motor? And the rest of the bike, being Italian?

I don't know a huge amount about Elefant's myself, but I do know 'Elefantman', who does!

This is a link to his site, which also has various resources/links for more info, especially if you do end up getting one. They really seem to have a bit of a cult following...

Cheers, had a look, it seems parts can be expensive hard to get, may stick to the Dr Big.

You just want a bike with a funny name!

Well they both sound more manly than a Monkey bike!

Tim, if you haven't already check out www.advrider.com

If it exists, someone's probably ridden round the world on it and posted a report on that site

Getting ready for January?

Dr BIG. I think that once you get on one of these, you might change your outlook on bikes for big trips Tim.
