I just finished the Alcan 5000, a TSD rally using gravel roads in BC, Alaska and the Yukon on a Suzuki V-Strom (2nd place among bikes over 700 cc). It held up well for over 8000 miles of long distance riding including the rally and the distance home. I think a 'Strada, 'Strom, Ulysses, and Tiger shootout would be great. Need a volunteer rider?
