    Pussies shouldn't be allowed to go adventure riding. Indeed pussies should be banned from riding motorcycles completely.

    Perhaps they shouldn't be allowed to make inane comments in forums, either.

    I agree wholeheartedly.

    these are not adventure bikes for most riders.for me the attraction is a big(i am 6 3") bike with an awesome ride(coutresy of the long suspension travel),shouldnt cost a fortune to run (twin cylinders) with relaxed ergonomics.The fact that they will be reasonable gravel road bikes with some capacity for even rougher sections of road is a bonus.

    You looking to step up Eddie? It would be good to see one in the flesh - or under my butt

    This is probably the best motorcycle test write up I've ever read. V interesting about the weight factor.

    Damn, I like this thing and these types of bikes really aren't my cuppa tea, all in all nicely done I reckon.

    Big Dave needs to throw his leg over it.
    That Dutch tester was 6/4ft.
    Could be the best all purpose bike, (save for knarley single track) available.
    Hurry up Dave

    Good write up. I guess at the end of the day it is the price that may sway people here in New Zealand. I would prefer something I don't mind dropping. If I going to spend over $20000 on a bike, why not get two? A nice lightweight Adventure bike, trail orientated and a long distance beastie... Have the best of both worlds!
