I am looking to buy an adventure bike but are having trouble deciding:
Heres my bucket list in order of Priority, I would like to know from those that have ridden quite a few adv bikes which would best for me:
1) Price don't want to spend over $15K, bike can be second hand
2) Comfort for long trips is important.
3) Must handle well.
3) Must be reliable
4) good to be able to go off road ie. metalled roads, but 95% of time spent on sealed roads
5) Must be powerful, has to cruise at good speed and overtake easily with two up
6) Good luggage capacity.
7) Fuel economy is a lower priority.
8) Servicing costs cant be too high ( can do alot myself)
9) Aesthetics - not too concerned - I'm over looks
Would like to hear from tour / hire operators or from those that have a good overall experience in this field.
If each of the above 8 points was worth 5 points then 45 Points is best 9 points worse- if that helps
Your help would be appreciated
PS Plan to keep the SV
