What a bullshit list. No KLR 650?? Yeah, it’s discontinued, but still should be on the list there’s a reason why it was around for over 30 years.
How much averages these bikes gives ? 😐
Super Tenere all the way.👌
BSA 441 is fantastic riding bike.. Don"t mind the oil leak.
KTM is King! Is it 16 or 17 years in a row, winner of the Dakar race. Say no more.
Why didn’t you review the Honda Crossrunner ?
Underrated bike !
i still ride my 990r , for me de best bike for my advetures , on road i choose my sm 950, for hard enduro riding i take the 350 excf sixdays….and for veteran cruising the xtz750 supertenere….
…..i like the design on that benelli.
Dont know much about it but I like how it looks.
the triumph looks bad ass
I understand guys, but I prefer mediums.)))
Are there middle weight vikes available in the market? Maybe around 500-750cc bikes
If I lived in Africa , I would buy an Africa Twin……..how bout an American Twin??
Nice video
I just got my learners so I got a 2016 ktm Duke 200 and I need the saddles and I now want adventure bike because they seem better in my opinion
Not sure how Benelli 502 ended up on this 1L+ list. It is completely different category and there are many comparable models in that segment that offer more value. Mutistrada belongs to be on this list far more than that Benelli. Even Yamaha Tracer 900 fits better and some under liter BMW models.
Nice list and comparison. Well put together video.
honda Crostourer1200x-DCT <3
Honda Africa twin DCT is the killer for everyone.👍🏻✌🏻😎
1 up 650 is enough,i love my v strom
Bike has to fit the rider. Just because one machine has better spec on the paper, doesn’t mean everybody can ride it.
It also depends where you are touring. In the US, roads are good and one rides fast. In other countries, you have slow technical roads.
Liter bike is overkill. Personally, I prefer shaft drive for long distance touring. Not many choices though. ADV is probably more versatile compared to sport touring but, with proper strategy and time on hands, any machine can do the job.
I’d go for the Triumph, followed closely by the BMW and KTM.
KTM best
What about Ducati Multistrada 1290 !!!!!!!
Hi guys never owned a bike before but have been very interested in the adventure touring bikes since I saw the Buell Ulysses XB12X in 2006. Was curious if the Super Tenere is a good bike to begin on?
Too heavy Too expensive , royal enfield himalayan seems to be the best bike in this class for under $5000 brand new.
Please help me : benelli trk 502 is a good bike ?
No Motto Guzzi?
Why only huge bikes? you’ve never seen a 650 to 800 I guess. I only tour with a 650. Plenty of power for the job yet light enough for adv, unlike these hippos.
Always loved the KTM
The winner
KTM badass off-roading motorbike
I would go with anything made in Japan. Reliability full stop.
Were is the 1260 Multistrada Enduro? It’s awesome. I had a 1200 Tenere and loved it, but it is not in the same class as the 1200 Enduro I have now. I guess it all depends on your definition of “best”.
Mopeds rule
Ducati mutistrada?
Show small adventure and touring motorcycles please…
502 ？ha ha ha ha ha
Triumph is the king
Love to see some lift any of these fully loaded of road #AdventureToStarbucks #RideLight
The only bikes which need to be on this list are 1250gs, triumph tiger 1200xc, Ducati multistrada, versys 1000, ktm adv 1290 and the super tenere. Africa twin is not a litre class adv bike it competes against bmw 850gs and tiger 800
funny the prices listed by manufacturers vs the reality of what each bike can be bought for ! most of these bikes BUT the BMW-GS can be bought for less and at times alot less than the listed price while the bmw gs is never found for anywhere near that price more like $4K more (US) and up
What about the ktm 1290 s
..
Kawasaki rocks
I have to say… Im going to buy the Triumph Tiger 1200 xrt! Why? Because it’s balanced it’s so beautiful, great engine, suspensions, brakes, everything! It’s the most preety ADV bike! The GS is really ugly, but also great, the KTM is simply horrible! The Kawasaki is purely heavy… Ducati it’s just HP… Suzuki is ugly too! I really think they’re all great bikes but Triumph Tiger 1200 is that he One that gets it all! And my next xrt red it’s soooooo 😍
Bought KTM 790R, somehow I have a feeling that bigger is not better in the category of adventure bikes, especially if you want to take it offroad.
Mostly fat elefant parade bikes aka wellness tourers for the oversaturated.
Yamaha the best
Already do. KTM 990 SMT 2010.
where is multistrada…
Good
These bikes are monsters. Extremely tall. Extremely heavy. Extremely expensive. Horrible combination. Normally I hark on the fact that new adventure bikes are pointlessly massive. 1200cc should not be the normal. They should aim for dirt bike weight and suspension with adventure bike comfort. All these bikes are taking points from Harley. The biggest disappointemnt of motorcycles. Heavy and expensive. (And many are slow for displacement)
