    Most important thing on an Adventure bike is...

    To you what is the ONE most important thing on an Adventure bike (eg weight, power, colour, wheel size etc). Keep it to one thing and let's see how the replies differ.

    I will save putting what I consider to be the most important thing until a bit later.

    ONE thing only.

    Crashability (that it can be picked up after a crash and ridden further (to the next crash))
    it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.
    those cheap ass bitches can do anything with ductape.
