Motorcycle insurance customers might be interested to learn that Spencer Conway has nearly completed his Circumnavigation of Africa adventure.
He has ridden for almost 50,000 kilometres on a Yahama Tenere Z 660 XT, which may be the kind of model that provides a sufficient level of reliability for consumers.
On August 15th, Mr Conway will return to Biddenden in Kent, where TV and press crews will be waiting to hear about his mission.
The rider has undertaken the challenge in aid of Save the Children - and has generated almost £28,000 for orphanages and medical supplies in countries such as Burkina Faso, Sudan and Angola.
The explorer's adventure has not been without its fair share of hairy moments.
He was shot at in Kenya and robbed in Angola, while his food was often gathered from roadsides, including snakes.
Another model that may appeal to consumers is the Yamaha YZF-R125, which may provide the riding experience people are looking for.
