French Alps 2025

Planning a 5000 km trip to some of the highest mountain passes in the Alps on a 300 cc Kawasaki Versys-X may seem a bit crazy.

But the route includes a few challenging gravel/dirt roads in the mountains, so I needed a light and versatile bike for this trip.

And once in a while it is important to state that a big expensive bike is not always better or necessary to have a big adventure.

So the small Kawasaki is serviced, packed and ready for an early start tomorrow 😎🌍🏍️👍

In the early morning light.
