It’s the eternal question: “What is an adventure bike and how do I get the best from one?” Unlike many, Miles Davis has an answer.
We all have our own idea of what the word ‘adventure’ means. But when I looked up the actual definition, it’s described as ‘an unusual and exciting or daring experience’. That seems to fit the bill nicely.
But what is the definition of an ‘adventure motorcycle’?
When you think about it, based on the definition, any motorcycle is an adventure motorcycle, from a Harley to a trials bike. They’re all unusual, exciting and daring.
But the term ‘adventure motorcycle’ seems to be a bit more specific, referring to a dual purpose bike that allows a rider to cover large distances of road and off-road terrain. And for me, it also means as much about the travel and destinations as it does about the actual riding. Most people would agree, for a bike to fit into the adventure category, it should have some or all of the following:
On- and off-road capability
Longer-than-normal fuel range
Comfortable, upright riding position
A screen for wind and weather protection
Luggage capabilities.
Compromise is guaranteed
