Yip there are a lot of bikes out there pretending to be something, that they are not.
Now days it just has to look the part with bling.
If it can do the job or not, is another thing.

It would be great for touring and the odd gravel road.

Arnt those headlights sagging a littleI'd be happy to offer some support ... and is that a new exhaust I see in your avatar - it looks good, much better than the stock one.

Looks about as close a copy of the BMW R1200GS as you could get... all they've done is bend the cylinders up 45 degrees...

Ummmm, and what is the Scrambler? :Pokey: :laugh:

Honestly though, it does look like it has too much weight up high,:confused: but can't be much different to a big katoom. Not my sort of adventure bike any way, looks to have as much plastic as a Goldwing. <_<

What about a dog? A dogs got personality whereas a pig is a filthy animal. :killingme:

Gotta be a dog mate because your bike barks while mine grunts.:ride:

They might be an alternative to the Truimph Tiger 1050 or Suzuki DL 1000 V-Strom. I think in reality, they're more akin to the Kawasaki Versys, (which is being sold and marketed here in OZ a a road bike) only bigger.
