Considering a BMW R1200 GS

[apex1_imp]

Rent one. Plenty of folks offer them.

Or do both - rent and do a tour with these guys: https://www.motorrad-tours.com/

missenden flyer on youtube has a series going right now using them (not for the first time) going from Alaska to the lower 48.

And everyone knows chain is better than shaft drive....... :poke:

I have watched the first 2 videos of TMF's Alaska/Canada tour with Motorrad Tours on his Youtube channel--good stuff. That said, the cost for the tour for 2 people with the bike rental is over $12,000. That would come close to paying for a good low mileage used R1200 GS. Paying that kind of money for an organized tour in the U.S. and Canada is not for me.
