      The BMW 1250 GS ADVenture Is the king, and need it's own list. No other bike can touch it. If you think about BMW 850 GS. You can just as well get the 1250 (or 1200 if you get a little older bike) They don't fell any more heavy. And the 850 GS is already a very heavy bike. So why don't get the best handling big bike. If you want a light ADV, get a CRF300 or any of the other small bikes that almost every one can take on a single track. If HD get the dirt glide a face lift, so it looks more like a nice bike. They can have a chance. How it look now, I would not have used it, even if I got it for free. Sold it and got a real bike instead… Like the 1250 GS ADV.

    I guess you didn't want to talk about the one everyone knows, but I'd still pick a r1200/1250gs over any of these. It's not the best on paper, but from my research, it's still faster and more practical for off-road than the Pan-Am.
    Also, I'm surprised the KLR650 didn't come up as a budget option. It may be sold more as a dual-sport but they're easily an entry adv with some of the add-ons you can get, especially now that ABS is available on it.

      Yea I think the CB500X is a better choice than the CRF300L Rally for smaller ADV. If we're looking at the more offroad oriented ADVs from Honda then I think the next step down from Africa Twin would be the XR 650 not the CRF300L Rally.

  • @chazlyle41
    @chazlyle41 2 года назад +1

    Don’t know what that scrambler is doing on the list but the new Tiger 850 Sport is pretty sweet for those who don’t need all the goodies from the 900.
    Also never talked about in exciting circles but always a staple (and probably what most people actually need) is the WeeStrom.
    For those doing 80-99% highway the VStrom 650 is about as practical and comfortable as it gets, for a good price, too.
    The T7 would be my bet, for the closer to (or aspiring to be) 50/50 off the path rider.
    The Tiger would be my wild card if one test rode those two and didn’t like it or wanted a lower seat height, etc.

    I'd just have to give the HD a couple of year's for a all new bike.
    To see how reliable it will be. Since HD has had problems with making there old air cooled V twin engines that have been around for ever.
    In my opinion unless you have extensive off road experience on real dirt bike's and are in very good physical condition don't think riding a 550 lbs ADV off road is going to be a lot of fun. But everyone has there own idea of fun. I do admire the videos with the expert rider's jumping and sliding the big ADV bike's.

      Please also mention the lack of sub 136kg adventurized dual sports with 15 liters in the tank offered by any of the manufacturers. Huge hole in the market here for something with 40hp at the rear wheel. Lots of performance dual sports hit this weight goal but none come with 15 liter tanks, comfortable seats or long maintenance intervals. The aftermarket is making a lot of money selling seats and tanks for 450L's and EXC's.
