Differently? Nope. The 750CC twin with a radiator is a great bike for single person road trip. I had done a bit of travel on moto in the US. The border between the US and MEX is pretty straight forward. Get copies of everything. Be patient and kind. Speaking Spanish helps avoid the mordita or at least deal with it. Borders between MEX, Guatemala, Honduras varied. Completely packed chaos led through the town (Tapacula?) into the border crossing by a gang of homeless children; to sitting and waiting for the right stamp to drop. I wouldn't prolly go through MEX right now. I had plans to visit old friends this year by truck. Everyone told me not to go. My Mexicans friends, my Guatemalan friends, my Honduran friends. SO I would love to do it again. But next time I want a sidecar to carry spare tires, more gas, and my dog.
