Beg to differ, most of them are utterly shite.

As has been stated elsewhere on here, each to hid own. What makes a good bike to me might be a piece od sh*£e to someone else. Each one of us is an individual and have widely differing perceptions of which bikes we like or don't like. Personally I won't knock a bike I haven't ridden and therefore feel I'm not qualified to comment on

I don't believe its necessary to ride a bike to know whether you like it or not.
Plenty bikes ride well yet are still piles of shite. In my opinon of course.

Regardless, as you mentioned earlier "each to his own" we all have different styles of what we ride. For instance, I remembered reading on some blog about the BMW GS1200 Adventures that were used in the Long Way franchises that they were the WRONG bikes for the job. In some case I have to agree and disagree.

Agree because those bikes sure are heavy. The weight alone...wow.

Disagree because of the name and purpose "ADVENTURE". It's a cross country bike designed for that!

You can use any bike thats parked in your garage right now to travel around the world and don't need a big ole fancy tourer like the GS or KTM Adventure or Honda Goldwing to get the job done. As long as your having fun, that's all that matters.

In my Honest Opinion

CHeers!

Strictly speaking its a heavyweight touring roadbike with modifications.

Then what's with the soft rear suspension, the long travel front suspension, the motorcross front fender and the stock handguards that are strictly for OFF-ROAD bikes?

Looks pretty much an all purpose rocket.

Some of the modifications I alluded to.

But the KTM has a proper adventure bike that does a better job from what I know, right? That's a real offroad on roader.

Anything that is marketed as an "adventure" bike is a pile of shite.
All you need for a proper adventure is an old 125 and Mongolia.
