The bike we built the Ladakh package around. Forty horsepower from the water-cooled 452, a seventeen-litre tank that gets you from Keylong to Pang without thinking about fuel, and a rally seat tall enough to stand up on when the road goes.
Tubeless tyres, so a puncture at Sarchu is a plug and ten minutes rather than a tube on the roadside. It comes with the rack fitted and takes our soft panniers. The heaviest bike in the garage, and the one that feels lightest at 5,000 metres.
