Why do adventure bikes feel like trail bikes?

[Motu]

... is my DR500 an adventure bike, or a trial bike?

Well,it would be a real adventure to ride it in a trial.

But it would make a pretty good trail bike.

So ... the question is ... is my DR500 an adventure bike, or a trail bike?

Duh!
Of course it is.

Oh-oh. Point taken. But then, I once came second in a car-park trial, against trail bikes, riding a GT250X7.

My previous experience with "Adventure Bikes" was a KLR 650 on my ride of the Alaska Pipeline in 2006. Coming off my Yamaha WR450F I kept twisting the throttle on the KLR and kept waiting for something to happen .
When you twist the wrist on the WR, you better be pointed in the way you wanted to go
