I will probably do a long trip next year with a small group organized by a organiser. The trip is from Netherlands in Europe to Japan. We will be visiting remote areas where supplies/help/tyre-supply can be hard. Like Tjadjikistan, West Mongolia and some areas in Russia.

I first was interested in the Himi because it has tubed tires (TT) and the lots of marketing you see. The CFmoto seems no option because of TL tyres and maybe not so well known in some areas if you need supply, but you can carry some offcourse.

The Himi seems the sensible decision, but after I road the CFmoto I'm torn between them. The CF gave me a smile while I don't like the looks. But looks are no dealbreaker at all.

Any thoughts on TL on this kind of trip and reliability? I also prefer CF because valve inspection/adjusting is every 40K KM and for the Himi it's 10K the first 2 times. Also CF uses a standard oilfilter and the airfilter is easialy reachable without removing the tank.
