Riding a sportsbike from SD to Cabo San lucas
A friend and I are thinking of riding our 300r’s down the Baja peninsula. Has anyone done this? What equipment did you use? I need advice….
I’m getting risers installed on my handle bars. Other than that that’s the only modification I doing to my bike beside the tail bag.

Yes, it has been done before. Many Mexicans own sportsbikes. The hwy and urban roads are paved. The primary unpaved roads are maintained (though
often washboarded)
You need same equipment in Mexico as you need in USA for a long road trip…
Woke!
Hands off!

Sweet thanks MTgoat666 I’m glad it’s been done before. It makes me more confident in going in the next day or two.

2 days ago, chatting with a couple of mex nationals riding Honda 150cc bikes, here in Mulege. Full on camping loads, they own big bikes too, were on
a small bike tour.
When you depart south? Lodging tight around San Felipe next month for a race.

I’m leaving in the next day or two. But now I’m thinking of just driving my bike in the back of my truck and riding it in Cabo San Lucas.

Just leave the bike at home.
Take fishing poles, tackle, SUP, surf board, etc.
Why do you want a sportbike in cabo?
Most people that bike in baja are there for the dirt biking,…

Leave the truck, take the bike, much more fun. If you need a heater you probably don't ride much.
