The old Ténérés and XTs are basically immortal. I am pretty sure you two will make it to Russia and back. Stay positive, the rest will work out. Looking forward to your next adventure.
@@bve7397 1993 is rather young...the 600 started in 1984. And yes, they are still running. Even 500dreds. They date back to 1976 (so they are as ancient as I am 😇).
@@SandraOrtmann1976 Yea they seem like decent bikes... although my build year is notorius for electrical faults, experiencing that mysel right now.. 😅 has no spark currently, thinking its the cdi. Dont know if id trust it on a13k km trip
Your trips are fascinating because you go where others don't usually go. Granted I've kept up for years. My vehicles are old but I know them well. If they do go out completely, I can fix or get another.
Love the comparison with the Kalashnikov....Looks an amazing trip. Shame you got negative comments but guess that the world of social media we are in 👍🇬🇧
You're absolutely right, Pavlin! This autumn one young guy successfully rode from Moscow to Magadan. He finished his 2 month and 11 thousand km trip at 19th of October. The most weird thing is that this is his 1st riding season (he got his driving licence only in July) and his bike was a 700 euro 200cc used Chinese motorcycle!
I love the destinations of your trips and completely agree with you on seeing places "no one wants to see". Really looking forward to your trip to Magadan!
What would be awesome in my opinion is if you made a full 1 hour video lige the one you did a while ago for the Central Asian Adventure, just you riding and some music. Or even better do both, episodes and the long video. That video of the Silk Road is what made me subscribe quite a few years ago. Thank you
@@motorcycleadventures Yeah i get that, that's why you have the episodes. I'm more interested in seeing the riding then the info, might be other people that are more intrested in this type of video. I unfortunately don't have the time to watch let's say 30 episodes of 20-30 minutes each. So a single 1h/1:30h video would be better.
Most of the people don't have the time to watch 1.5h video. And how you suggest to fit 3-4 months trip in that time? That is mean to cut most of the footage. I have done it with my Silk road video and now I regret. There is no way to please everyone.
My Kalash is my 1992 Honda Transalp, never let me down, even got me Home on 1 Cylinder one time (CDI bad contact, fixed it next day with a soldering iron) Old Bikes are Awesome! :) I really like youre Philosophy and youre Videos, thank you for all youre good work!
Great little tool box. You might like to put a pin in the latch hole in case the latch opens on bumpy roads. Look forward to your trip and learning how you prepare. Looks like an absolute fantastic journey. I'll be following you. All the best.
I’m glad you’re planning to go to Russia Pavlin as I am unlikely to get there myself. I look forward to joining you on this one...I know we’re going to have a fun, interesting time!
Great Idea Pavlin... Really looking forward to seeing the trip. The road of bones and Magadan brought a terrible end and hold a lot of terrible memories for so many from a (thankfully) bygone era. By visiting such places and telling the story we can hopefully learn from history. The roads are a little better these days but not easy so stay safe, rest often and enjoy.
You take good care of your XTZ so I am confidend it will do the job just fine. External factors like weather, terrain and traffic will pose a much greater risk. Good luck on your journey and all the best wishes from The Netherlands!
Great trip. Not a was-kostet-die-welt type of celebrity outing but a real salt-of-the-earth type of trip. I hope you bring your tripod and show us how you manage the adverse conditions that will face you. All the best from a guy in Austria who dreams of conquering the world but who still needs his kids to become fledged to be a master of his own time again :-D Cheers, mate!
I totally agree with you. High expectations limit our horizon, there are people going around the world with a C90 and no gear. So anything is possible, it is all about the journey. I am happy and excited about your journey. I wish you a great safe experience and great content for us.
I enjoy your channel and would love to make the same trip through Russia, especially to Kamchatka. Unfortunately I don't think it's possible for Canadians. But I look forward to hearing all about it from you. Thanks for all the videos and info, I've learned a lot from you. Be safe.
Thank you for your films Pavlin and all you do. You and some of my friends inspired me to get my first adventure bike which is xt660z and I got to tell you I love it!!! Next year we are planning to go for long trip from UK to Poland and back to UK using TET. It'll be a great adventure as I've never had anything like that before. Good luck with your trip. All the best!!!
Thank you Pavlin for sharing the trip and most importantly how to travel on a budget!! In a era that you see motorcycles costing from 10,000 to 20,0000 (!) every useful and helpful information is a plus for the average working Joe who dreams to go a bit further away from home but is restricted on money. Well done Pavlin, can't wait to see your next bike mods and the cost. Safe ride!! 👍👍
Hello mister Pavlin you have everything to be right, your time, your trip. I also hope to go east, to achieve the trip planned this year, next year. Thanks for the few pictures of Varna, it reminds me of good memories of the Black Sea.
I loved the simplicity and reliability of my previous bike tenere 660. it is a great beginner trail/big off road school; no ABS, no traction control, no riding modes, just good old riding feeling. Only sold it to buy my dream bike triumph tiger, which i wouldn't be able to ride so confident without the experience acquired on the tenere. i know you will succeed in this journey
Go Pavlin! This trip will be epic. I have faith in you and your bike ( same year of mine but mine is red and white). I hope mine last as many kms as yours, I'm in love with the ten.
A grown man with a pure and childish desire to discovered and be marvelled with life, under this philosophy of riding the essentials and detached from the highest luxuries and expending compulsions. A happy man, living a child dream. ✌️
This is one of the best video I ever seen 👍You are so right underlining that the new trip is a your trip not the YT wievers wish to be...👏👏 I am looking forward to learn from your experience. I wish you all the best.
Fabulous trip in the making. Looking forward to seeing the videos. Great tool box.i have thought of putting mine down low on the bash plate, but thought it might block air flow to the rectifer. Not my best idea, perhaps. Great box though. Good start to Magadan! Happy travels
Pavlin! Really solid tool box you built. One observation, the clip and how easily it opens with the flick of a finger. I would put some sort of retainer pin or pad lock from accidental opening. It is below, and behind you, so if you accidentally hit it, all your tools will spill out without anyone knowing.
My thoughts too. 1) have a great trip. 2) worry that the tool box clip might pop open with vibration. even if it's just a big paperclip through the locking loop. Carabiner? Safe travels, looking forward to your prep videos.
Well done Pavlin. If you want a hard motorcycle trip it has to be Russia. Not for the faint hearted. I’ll be following you with great interest. Good luck.
Get lucky for your next trip, I have same bike and last year I rode from Barcelona to Nordkapp only offroad by TET. 2 months. This year a round to iberic peninsule off road too 2 months. And I will improve my Teneré because there,s no better bike dual bike actually. Be safe!
Looking forward to seeing your next big adventure Pavlin. You’re always interesting to listen to and I find your honesty fantastic. Please consider doing an episode or two on the planning for this particular trip. The toolbox looks like a robust design, well done. What weight was it compared to the plastic?
Woww!Beautiful Varna,looking forward to your next "round the block"trip,Magadan,no less...Let's hope this situation is over ASAP,anyway, greetings from sunny Valencia and take care,by the way,I miss your "ESPAÑA" hat...
Pavlin always great to hear and learn something new from you. Keeping in mind the distance you are about to cover I want to suggest to you to improve the locking/latch system of toolbox. I think it can fail due to constant rattling on bumpy roads. Simple Door Hasp Latch or Bolt type system would be much better. But that is just my advice. Stay safe. 👍
For the tool box, latch is backwards, it can be grabbed by something and open. All the best for your adventure. The XTZ660 was one of my favorite bike.
One excellent reason to keep your 660 is the fun you have changing a spakplug on the 700.... Look on TH-cam for Sparkplug replacement on the Tenere 700!
👍🏻 😄 🙏🏻 It will survive with ease... Why, believe me it's Yamaha they are reliable and strong. Simplicity and practicality it's all about it. Wish you luck 🤞🏻 and I hoop you will keep us posted with nice video's on the way.
Supercool project! Best of luck. I think your Ténéré is going to be fine, and that you are capable to handle any eventual technical problem, if something happens. As I have mentioned before, my 30 years old Honda NX650 have worked for many more both kilometers and years, with zero problems. It’ll work fine your Ténéré, it’s japanese! Not a Honda, but the second best. 😉
Nice to see you have a new trip planned and you are taking your trust worthy Yamaha. You always talk a lot of sense and I agree with you a motorcycle should be simple easy to fix and cheap to travel on. 160 000km is pretty impressive. Does it burn any oil now ? Looking forward to your next instalment.Take care.
I love your new tool box, I believe your Yamaha is starting to look also like a MiG -15 😉 one other great Russian machine. Have safe travels, please keep your videos coming.
Lightness always wins the day that's the bike for the job. :-) Another simple tip to reduce weight, you don't have to take a reel of tape with you is to stick a bunch of insulation tape strips to the bottom of your seat then peel them off as you need them.
I always tell people that new cars and bikes are not more reliable than a well maintained old one. I ride a 32 year old bike, my reliable classic car is 86 years old, and my modern car is 29 years old. I am confident that any one of them will take me anywhere that a new car/bike will go. Although in the case of the 86 year old car it will take longer. Enjoy your trip Pavlin. I would rather your bike for the trip than a new large GS.
....and of course Pavlin you know your bike inside and out but not the T700. you will have a better chance of knowing your capabilities and what may get damaged and how to avoid or repair your XT. but you know this I am sure. I will look forward to your preparations as I think that I have to do some essential maintenance on mine this winter and your videos might be instructive.
All the best Pavlin bro. May your trip be blessed with safety and Happiness. And what ever you said about your MC is very true.. 1. Who value their vehicle like their family.. 2. No splurging just to show off. Of the current vehicle serves the purpose. Well why change it. Also our age thoughts come from dire circumstances.. Becoz of our trials in life what we value as the most precious thing.. Well I am of the same thought like you. After all we Taureans are down to earth.. No doubt. And sorry I missed to check my you tube last night as I was busy planning my winter road trip in India. AND YES.. I ALSO DON'T LIKE PEOPLE TELLING ME WHAT TO DO.. Seems we Taureans are born stubborn and determined and clear in our Goals.. Well once again All the best pal.. Take Care.. Waiting to see your new videos.. Chiao..
I totaly agree abouth bike choosing option. I have fazer600 y.2003 and I don't know why I should change it. It' very relieble and comfortable on long travels and if it goes something wrong you can fix almost whole bike with two hex wrenches.. and you don't have to mess with electronics... I never doubt in my old lady and she has over 150 k
Looks like exhaust pipes might not reach Magadan 😉 (07:35), I hope they will and I wish you all possible “Good luck “ during the trip! Take care 09:30 тогда удачи и доброго пути 😃
I've just purchased a Honda Honda transalp 650 2002, For £2000, hopefully will be riding from UK to Istanbul next year totally agree with you no need to spend 10k, I'm not bothered if I drop the motorcycle or even where I park it over night, looking forward to your adventure you are a inspiration totally agree with your thoughts 😀 👍
In my opinion you are the best low budget motorcycle adventure rider in the world.
WOW! Thanks Thomas!
I look forward to your trip.Your workmanship on the toolbox is superb.Thanks.
Awesome, thank you!
Can’t wait for you to start your trip. You have a great channel.
Thank you so much!
Simple motorcycle = easy maintenance. Good luck with your trip
Thanks, you too!
You always said: ride your ride, get out there on two wheelers, doesn't matter the bike type. Always enjoy your trips and travel information.
Always!
The old Ténérés and XTs are basically immortal. I am pretty sure you two will make it to Russia and back. Stay positive, the rest will work out. Looking forward to your next adventure.

I can.t wait to see what gear do you take. Best regards
The same that I always have.
Pavlin always great to hear and learn something new from you. Keeping in mind the distance you are about to cover I want to suggest to you to improve the locking/latch system of toolbox. I think it can fail due to constant rattling on bumpy roads. Simple Door Hasp Latch or Bolt type system would be much better. But that is just my advice. Stay safe. 👍
this door lock cannot be open it from the vibrations or bad roads. There is also an option to lock it with padlock.
@@motorcycleadventures Then that would be of no concern. The padlock feature would be of great use. You are more experienced. You know better. 👌
Take care, man!
Great intro and video!
Thanks for the visit!
For the tool box, latch is backwards, it can be grabbed by something and open. All the best for your adventure. The XTZ660 was one of my favorite bike.
It is impossible because it stays under a small bag and also my saddle bag will be on the top.
@@motorcycleadventures effectively it will be secured.
Yes, and I might add a small padlock there as well.
I lolled out loud when i saw those swans enjoying those waves. First time i've seen swans going for a plodge in the sea lol. Beautiful.
Glad you enjoyed! They coming every winter. There is hot water there going into the sea, that's why.
Don’t get in your head with those donkeys that never got out of the house, enjoy your trip in your own way!! Best wishes!!

I will look forward to your preparations as I think that I have to do some essential maintenance on mine this winter and your videos might be instructive.
Thanks for taking the time Chris!
All the best Pavlin bro. May your trip be blessed with safety and Happiness. And what ever you said about your MC is very true.. 1. Who value their vehicle like their family.. 2. No splurging just to show off. Of the current vehicle serves the purpose. Well why change it. Also our age thoughts come from dire circumstances.. Becoz of our trials in life what we value as the most precious thing.. Well I am of the same thought like you. After all we Taureans are down to earth.. No doubt. And sorry I missed to check my you tube last night as I was busy planning my winter road trip in India. AND YES.. I ALSO DON'T LIKE PEOPLE TELLING ME WHAT TO DO.. Seems we Taureans are born stubborn and determined and clear in our Goals.. Well once again All the best pal.. Take Care.. Waiting to see your new videos.. Chiao..
Thanks for taking the time Tony! p.s you don't need to watch all of my videos! Take care!
I totaly agree abouth bike choosing option. I have fazer600 y.2003 and I don't know why I should change it. It' very relieble and comfortable on long travels and if it goes something wrong you can fix almost whole bike with two hex wrenches.. and you don't have to mess with electronics...
I never doubt in my old lady and she has over 150 k
Cool!
I know more about the Kalashnikov than your trip plan :-) :-) :-). Good Luck brother. Looking forward to your movies.
