It seems now the adventure style bikes are taking over.

I have had a ride on one but not convinced its for me, yet to hear the folk who ride them its like I am mad for not to wanting one.

I am a big VFR fan e.g. 800 and 1200 but also own a 2020 rsv4 1100 when I want some speed.

Are the adventure bikes all they are made out to be or is it just a trend.

I also have both styles and a long history of sports bikes.

I tried a triumph explorer in 2014 and it was great, I also had a blade and zx9r for the track at the time and I was hooked, bought it and now on my second BMW GSA, I still have a Blackbird too.

In a nutshell are they all they’re cracked up to be.. for me an absolute yes but we all like different things so maybe not for everyone.

Horses for courses it’s what do you want it for

Not great for track days but fun

But if you like a bike that can munch the miles and the next day go green laneing or even a little more advanced off road there a bike for you

Saying that even adventure bikes are becoming more specialised

Ie a ktm 890 will tour but it’s far more off road focused

As mentioned and bikers being bikers

More bikes is always the way forward
