    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.
    Feel the fear and do it anyway

    Don't confuse education with intelligence.
    There are alot of highly educated idiots out there.

    The views expressed above may not match yours - But that's the reason my Dad went to war - wasn't it?
    Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, .... but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out,... shouting "man, what a ride"!!!

    I'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?

    Honestly though, it does look like it has too much weight up high, 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.

    Paved roads are just another example of wasted tax payer dollars.

    Yikes, I fell straight into that one.
    But as they said in Pulp Fiction, Personality goes a long way. (does that mean the Trumpys a Dog, or a Pig)

    No guesses as to what this bike is then? Its entirely relevant to this thread, just and older version.

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

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