Hi!
I think black is the right color. Although I have to say that the khaki colour suits very well the TEN!
May plan is to do an overland trip down to Australia, hopefully till Melbourne.
The trip is on early stages in terms on route planning but I am pretty sure I want to ride on the KKH going through the stans or Iran and then India, Nepal and SE Asia through Thailand, Vietnam, ect etc. But yet only a plan.
So far the planning has pretty much consisted of choosing the right bike for the job. And I think the TEN is a good bet: realiable, good fuel autonomy, not pricey, not too heavy, not too complex, although lets see how this opinion evolves throughout the next months. Will be riding on my own, so the power should be enough, plus it will not be a race
About the kit on the bike, IMH I think it is top-class. The previous owner knew what he was doing and only fitted the right equipment and treated the bike very well. I hope to keep doing the same.
