I rode from bilbou to home last year on my 1995 916, made it 2400 miles trouble free until the rectifier failed 90kms from le havre so it was a recovery truck all the way home. Done it this year on a 1 month old cbr600rr without issue but even that suffered from the heat. I would pay special attn to the cooling system, perhaps a manual fan switch would be prudent, also a spare rectifier. I would try and avoid france's built up towns where overheating will occur. wish i was coming with you, cant wait for my next trip |
