Bullshit, you're just a lazy Black person. Sage
F650GS
Qualities that make a bike good on the street trend to make them bad offroad. "adventure" class bikes thus tend to be not great offroad. Either accept that or get a small dual sport or find a happy medium. Nobody can find the correct compromise for your situation other than you.
Answer: DRZ400s
You are welcome.
adventure tends to imply being able to take highway trips inbetween, 400 is way too small
obbviously, the bigger the bike, the shittier its going to be offroad. the smaller the bike, the more dissappointing it wil be on the hiway
there are only so many reasonable options
Arica Twin
V-Strom
DRZ400
DRZ650
KLR650
XR650L
Aprilia Tuareg 660
BMW F750 Adventure
you are the only one who knows what *you* are really looking for. go to youtube and watch all the adventure bike reviews and decide for yourself. or go to daily bike thead and lurk
>obbviously, the bigger the bike, the shittier its going to be offroad. the smaller the bike, the more dissappointing it wil be on the hiway
Nope, just go a 650 straight away, it is gods given displacement for a single cylinder.
depends on what kind of "off-road" your doing.
I've done all day rides through twisty single track trails though the mountains. a DRZ400 was just right. comparitively, the 650 was too heavy, bulky, awkward
Alright nobike
But he asked for an adventure bike, there is a difference in the people who ask for them. If I was trailering up a bike just for the trail then yes a 400 4t or a 250 2 stroke is mint for trails. Other wise there is the perfect option of a SIX FIDDY
well if OP is going all out text book "adventure bike" as in cross country across the continent of Africa or Asia, then OP pic is already the answer, or any other maker similar model.
like the BMW GS850 Adventure.
Here in America, the United States of Israel, the V-Strom is the first thing many will think of when proposing the notion of a "Budget adventure bike"
it all still entirely depends on to what extent OP "adventure bike" riding is defined by OP.
400 isn't small for highway trips lamo, that's like the minimum "do everything" displacement. A 300 sucks ass on the highway.
I see some anons daily bike thread are talkign about the Yamaha Tenere 700.
another option to consider
How does everyone ITT forget about the legendary KLR6fiddy, she's a pig but it'll do.
Dr650 is also a solid option
solid options. but aleardy mentioned both of those
He didn't mention the DR650
Frick im braindead
Dr650
Klx650
Klr*
Be honest with yourself about how much and what kind of offroading you intend to do and you will be able to make a much more informed decision
yamaha t7 isnt a meme. legit the best adv bike you could possibly get. they are 10 grand 12 after taxes.
cop a busa
>Busa is the ultimate off-road machine

If you want to do actual off-road then you need a 21" front wheel. If you're just doing dirt roads then 19" is fine.
When most of the US was dirt HDs with fat 16" fronts went everywhere. WWII military bikes didn't run narrow tires either. Wider front tires do much better in sand where narrow tires plough.
I owned a DL650 for 9 years. It’s great on paved or dirt/ gravel roads. Beyond that it gets a bit dicey but if you’re careful you can make it. I’ve taken it through ATV trails in Maine including practically waddling it through a dry riverbed made up of large rocks. That’s not something I’d like to do again on such a big bike.
V-stronk is fine, just get knobbies. If you want more off road, take the Tenere 700 or Africa twin.
