🧳 The Reality of Adventure Bike Usage

This paragraph delves into the consumerist culture surrounding adventure bikes, pointing out that many riders buy into the idea of needing extensive modifications and accessories to truly utilize their bikes for adventure. The narrator contrasts this with the idea that a simple, stock motorcycle can be just as capable for most adventure scenarios. The paragraph also addresses the misconception that a fully equipped adventure bike is necessary for real adventure, suggesting that this is more about image and less about practicality. It compares the trend to the popularity of SUVs, which are often used for everyday driving rather than their intended off-road capabilities.

Keywords

💡Adventure Bikes

Adventure bikes are motorcycles designed for both on-road and off-road capabilities, often featuring rugged aesthetics and long-travel suspension. In the video, they are discussed as a lifestyle choice and a trend in the motorcycling world, with the script mentioning how they are marketed and perceived by manufacturers and riders alike, despite the fact that many owners may not fully utilize their off-road potential.

💡Rugged Adventurous Lifestyle

The term 'rugged adventurous lifestyle' encapsulates the idea of a life filled with outdoor activities, travel, and exploration, which is often associated with adventure bike culture. The video script describes how motorcycle manufacturers promote this lifestyle through content and marketing, attracting riders who may not actually engage in such activities but are drawn to the aesthetic and the 'what if' factor of being prepared for them.

💡Sport Bikes

Sport bikes are high-performance motorcycles designed for speed and agility, typically used for racing or spirited road riding. The script contrasts sport bikes with adventure bikes, suggesting that while sport bikes are often purchased for their performance capabilities that the average rider may not fully utilize, adventure bikes are bought into for their potential versatility and rugged appeal.

💡Spec Sheets

Spec sheets, or specification sheets, list the technical details and features of a product, such as a motorcycle. The video mentions spec sheets in the context of riders sometimes getting too caught up in the technical specifications of motorcycles, rather than focusing on how the motorcycle will be used in practice.

💡Harley Riders

Harley Riders refers to enthusiasts of Harley-Davidson motorcycles, known for their loyalty to the brand. The script uses Harley Riders as an example of how motorcyclists can be drawn to a particular brand or style for emotional reasons, similar to how adventure bike riders may be attracted to the lifestyle and aesthetic, even if their actual riding does not align with it.

💡ADV Riders

ADV Riders is a shorthand for adventure motorcycle riders. The video discusses how ADV riders, like other types of motorcyclists, are drawn to the dream and aesthetic of their chosen motorcycle category, often purchasing into the idea of adventure riding more than the actual practice of it.

💡What If Factor

The 'what if factor' refers to the consideration of potential future scenarios that might require a certain type of motorcycle, such as an adventure bike for a hypothetical long-distance trip or rugged terrain. The video script explains that this mindset influences the purchase decisions of adventure bike buyers, who may pay a premium for features they may rarely use.

💡Sport Touring Machines

Sport touring machines are motorcycles that combine the performance of sport bikes with the comfort and luggage capacity needed for long-distance travel. The video argues that these bikes are a more practical choice for the activities that adventure bike owners typically engage in, offering a better balance of performance and comfort without the rugged aesthetic.

💡Dual Sport Motorcycles

Dual sport motorcycles are versatile bikes that can handle both on-road and off-road conditions, often lighter and more agile than adventure bikes. The script suggests that for those serious about off-road riding, dual sport motorcycles are a better choice due to their lighter weight and easier handling, compared to the heavier adventure bikes.

💡Consumerism

Consumerism in the context of the video refers to the tendency of adventure bike riders to buy into the idea that they need a lot of accessories and modifications to fully engage in adventure riding. The script criticizes this consumerist mindset, suggesting that it leads to unnecessary spending on equipment that may not be used to its full potential.

💡Middleweight Adventure Bikes

Middleweight adventure bikes are a category of motorcycles that are lighter than full-size adventure bikes but still offer a balance of on-road and off-road capabilities. The video mentions these bikes as a potential compromise for riders who want a motorcycle that can handle a mix of terrains without being as heavy or as expensive as larger adventure bikes.

Transcripts

for many people the idea of going off on

a rugged beautiful motorcycle Adventure

is the antidote to their pedestrian

Suburban existence older males I'm

looking directly at you this seems to be

the lifestyle that motorcycle

manufacturers are most comfortable

pushing onto Riders nowadays you'll see

travel documentaries YouTube series and

all sorts of content promoting this

rugged adventurous lifestyle these bikes

are just as home crushing highway miles

as they are on the twisty roads or on

the the beaten path but are 0v bikes

really all they're cracked up to be if

you've never ridden one are they just

jack of all trades kind of compromising

in every field or the popularity of

these bikes really Justified as a sport

bike guy I kind of think they're a

little bit overrated but in full

disclosure I own a Scrambler which is

kind of a bad adventure bike anyways

you've seen the memes we've made the

jokes let's dive into the culture of

Adventure bikes on today's video and

dispel some myths and talk about these

machines from the perspective of a died

in the wool sport bike guy and part-time

Scrambler let's start with a big picture

here every motorcycle is designed to

appeal to some Rider specific

sensibilities Tendencies or desire for

specific flavor motorcycling is very

Niche nowadays you can find very

specific bikes to do very specific

things and that's okay because

motorcycles are emotional purchases and

people really want them to do specific

things and to appeal to their sense

abilities but don't get tooo lost in the

spec sheets sport bre Riders are want to

continuously buy 200 plus horsepower

machines that they'll never take on

track or experience what they can truly

do Harley Riders will keep buying

Cruisers just to get that sweet HD badge

even though their bikes are a little

underpowered and a little overpriced and

despite all the jokes and memes Harley

guys will keep being Harley guys at the

end of the day and advv Riders are no

different they know that their bike is

probably not going to see as much dirt

as they would like they're probably not

going to do Coast to Coast Adventures

every other month but they like to buy

into the dream they're attracted the

idea and the aesthetic of the what if

factor and that what if factor is the

idea of oh what if I have the

opportunity to do some massive

transcontinental trip what if I need to

tackle a rugged Gravel Road on my

commute What if I really need the long

travel suspension that my bike has this

type of thinking is what leads people to

purchase ADV bikes and they're willing

to pay the pre for the entire time they

own the bike even if they only use it

for those specific things a handful of

times manufacturers are very quick to

exploit this Allure just like they do

with sport bikes sport bikes are

packaged and sold in a way that adheres

them to homologated rules for racing

that means manufacturers build these

bikes so that they go and take them out

on track and go win races and they know

full well that the average Kyle is not

going to appreciate the suspension

components Top Line braking and true

Peak horsepower that these motorcycles

have vast majority of sport bike guys

are going to do 60 to 160 PS in the

highways with their buddies you can say

that every motorcyclist is cosplaying to

some degree but you could argue that

making the entry into true adventure

riding which Gatekeepers let me know

down in the comments below what a true

adventure is is actually more difficult

than a sport bike using it to some

degree going to a twisty Canyon Road or

a track day I mean some Riders don't

even live a 100 miles of a Forest Road

or a gravel road they can actually take

their adventure bike on here in Texas

for example the vast majority of land is

completely private meaning that you

can't even access it with an adventure

bike I don't even know why anybody would

own an adventure bike in Texas Adventure

bikes really have become the SUV of the

motorcycling world and what do I mean by

that what I mean is that 99% of them are

going to do relatively pedestrian

everyday tasks but they have a rugged

Allure of a trail oriented machine I

mean an SUV nowadays is a sport utility

vehicle but they're just cosplaying as

rail machines SUVs eclipsed minivans and

station wagons as a deao family vehicle

and now smaller SUVs called crossovers

have eclipsed even sedan so now pretty

much everybody drives an SUV and I'm

seeing this trend in the motorcycling

world as well because Adventure bikes

are so similar to SUVs in the sense that

you're going to have to dish out quite a

bit of money to actually do real

Adventure things with them in terms of

the accessories you're going to need to

put on this motorcycle and look

motorcyclists love modifying their bikes

there's no doubt about that but advv

guys really like modifying their

motorcycles I'm talking about going

balls to the wall to the parts catalog

and dragging your bike through it and

look anybody can go buy a bone stock ADV

bike and take it around town or some

like gravel roads and have some fun with

it but real Adventure motorcyclists on

YouTube know that the only way to have a

real Adventure is to outfit your bike in

serious Parts we're talking hard painer

luggage we're talking Comfort Seats

we're talking exhaust crash protection

frame sliders rally lights all sorts of

features on these bikes to make it truly

Adventure capable never mind the fact

that you can take a bone stock 400cc

single cylinder little beater bike and

do whatever Adventure you want with it

with a backpack on your back no no no to

have a real Adventure you need the

accessories many adventure bike riders

buy into this consumerism they start

advocating for the consumption communi

saying that you need this farle or that

farle to go and have a real Adventure

but you have this fully kitted out bike

that you don't do a whole lot with it's

kind of like those guys with the crazy

lifted jeeps and the skid plates and the

ladders on the side and the camping gear

I'm sure some of them have really rugged

crazy Adventures but the vast majority

of them have the moniker of M crawler

for a reason now look everyone's free to

modify or equip their motorcycle as much

or as little as they want I'm not here

to tell you how to live your life all

I'm saying is that you could probably

save yourself a couple of bucks if you

were more realistic with your expect

ation and your need of equipment because

I hate to break it to you and this is

the through line of this video for the

vast majority of people a fully equipped

adventure bike isn't even the right tool

for the job let me explain what I mean

by talking about the humble sport

touring machine some might have

forgotten that this is a purposeful

category in motorcycling and not just a

long forgotten about Tire category sport

tour bikes really are the optimal

solution for what people are actually

doing with their Adventure bikes they

have comfortable ergonomics have lots

luggage options and are usually catered

towards people trying to do

long-distance riding most famously I

recently did a review of the Yamaha

Tracer 9 GT a sport touring machine that

in my opinion had me feeling wanting

nothing else if you were going to do a

long transcontinental trip the issue is

Sport Turing bikes just aren't as cool

as Adventure bikes they don't fit the

rugged cool aesthetic that a lot of

people are looking for and they

certainly don't have the what if Factor

what if you encounter a water crossing

on your transcontinental Journey what if

you find yourself in the middle of South

America and only a 21-in front end is

going to be able to roll over certain

rocks and obstacles in your path sport

terrain bikes are far superior to

Adventure bikes for everyday riding

consider the fact that they have 17-in

wheels front and rear making those tires

way cheaper and also they're tubeless on

cast Wheels if you've ever messed around

with a tubed tire on a longdistance ride

if you catch a flat it's going to be bad

on top of that too the fact that they

don't have super long travel suspension

means that you get a better feel at the

front end when you're actually riding on

road what has three cylinders an oland's

rear shock and enough torque to rotate

the Earth beneath you why it's the M9 SP

entries to win the M9 SP giveaway on top

of that too 17-in Wheels front and rear

make the motorcycle dynamically much

more fun to ride cuz it tips in faster

and doesn't have that kind of lumbering

feel that a 21-in wheel would have now a

lot of motorcycle manufacturers have

made Adventure bikes that are very quick

and Nimble you know the tarex 660

handles very well but it still pales in

comparison to a proper sport touring

motorcycle and manufacturers have kind

of figured this out and they kind of

cross sell both of these bikes on the

same platform Triumph's tiger GT is the

sport touring version of the tiger rally

Pro you have the Ducati multi strata v4s

as well sold alongside the desert X

which is really their adventure bike

offering the versus as well it doesn't

have a adventure bike counterpart but

you could argue that the KLR 650 is

their Adventure motorcycle but all these

bikes have 17-in wheels and are much

more sport oriented and way nicer to

ride down the road which is what you're

going to be doing 98% of the time with

this machine the other thing to consider

too is that sport Turing bikes are

almost always cheaper than adventure

bike models new for new and if you're

looking at the used Market sport Turing

bikes are a diamond dozen and nobody

really wants them so you can pick them

up for way cheaper but I already hear

you yam I actually want to ride offro

well let me talk about the humble dual

sport then if you're actually serious

about riding off-road an adventure bike

is a handful and I don't care what

people say online about it's just an

issue in skill or you just need to learn

how to ride it is more fun and more

simple and more friendly to ride a 280

lb dual sport motorcycle than a 540 lb

Behemoth of a BMW adventure bike Offroad

there are advv specific schools and

train the people go through because it

is so challenging to ride these big

bikes Offroad and God forbid you ride by

yourself good luck picking up an 8v bike

at a weird angle off-road you're not

going to be able to do it the average

aging father really can't buy a BMW GS

add $4,000 in accessories and expect to

go tackle a bdr if off-road riding

really is your preferred mode of riding

and you really want to lean into that

the Dual Sport is going to carry you so

much further and better than an

adventure bike would and speaking of

price a dual sport motorcycle is buying

far away better than an advv in terms of

initial purchase price maintenance and

reliability yeah those uh KTM cams on

the 790 and 890 platforms aren't looking

too good are they so really The Sweet

Spot that most people have found is the

middleweight Adventure category bikes

like the tenor 700 tox 660 or BMWs f900

GS platforms they're bikes that are a

little bit over 400 lb they're not quite

as unwieldy as the gigantic Adventure

bikes that people try to sell you but

they have a little bit more on-road

prowess than a dual sport meaning that

if you really want to do proper 50/50

riding and assuming you're not going to

tackle crazy single tracks and stuff

like that a middleweight adventure bike

might be the right pick but again keep

in mind that a middleweight adventure

bike is a motorcycle that by definition

is compromised in nearly every single

vertical of motorcycle riding it's not

going to be that good at anything really

a 10 700 is a great bike and it's a lot

of fun but it's not particularly fast

it's not particular willing in Corners

it's not particularly great Offroad and

it's just not that particularly

interesting to ride it's not very good

at anything which means it's good at a

little bit of everything advv bikes

really are the modern form of the 1960s

scramblers they're designed to do a

little bit of everything a little bit of

touring a little bit of off-road riding

a little bit of twisty Road stuff and

for that reason they make a lot of sense

but big adventure bikes really have just

become another cash grab for motorcycle

manufacturers to try to capture the

dentist and lawyer monies that used to

go to Harley Davidson for many older

Riders an ADV is just a flagship fun

cool toy rather than a practical useful

tool for the application that they're

designed for so look from my perspective

as a guy who likes more specialized

machines even though I do own a

Scrambler I have to admit Adventure

bikes are cool they're powerful they got

Cool Tech they got all the latest

features and I can see that the

motorcycle manufacturers are investing

tons of time and effort into this

category meaning that new innovation is

cropping up all the time but for the

average person if you're realistic about

your goals and what you're trying to do

with motorcycling there's better options

in my opinion rather than buying a

single middleweight adventure bike you

should get a cheap dual sport and a

cheap Touring bike that way you can do

one or the other when you really want to

if you really have a specific use case

where you need to somehow do super long

distance on your motorcycle and get to

the trail when you're there then the

middleweight advv bike does make some

sense but I've always felt that loading

a bike up onto a truck and just slabbing

comfortably for miles and then getting

to your fun location Ty tyly makes more

sense Adventure bikes sell the idea of

adventurous riding to you not

necessarily the ability the skills or

the bike to do said adventurous riding I

promise you if you buy a dual sport and

you commit yourself to just ride down

the road and kind of suffer a little bit

when you get to the trail you were going

to have so much more fun than all of

your buddies on adventure bikes and

you're probably going to be way further

up the trail waiting for them to get up

the hill because they can't get up the

hill and then you got to put your bike

on a side standand and push them up the

hill with with their 550 lb bike from my

perspective as a sport bike guy buying a

top-of-the-line adventure bike and

expecting to be able to do the stuff

that Chris Burch does is really no

different than buying a brand new Honda

Fireblade and expecting to be Mark

Marquez it simply doesn't work that way

and the industry really is no different

than the guys who buy those Top Line

leader bikes outfit the bunch of faral

and then go out and roll race them

you're using a small iota of what the

motorcycle is capable of in my opinion

the adventure riding fat is really more

of a life style choice for motorcyclists

rather than a real deal thing it's a

niche style of riding that's become

incredibly popular because a lot of

people just want one motorcycle that can

do a little bit of everything but we

need to be realistic about what these

bikes are for and I really think that

you're better off just getting a sport

touring bike and a dual sport motorcycle

at the end of the day advv bikes really

are just two- wheeled SUVs for dads who

are a little bit bored and

truthfully as a newly minted dad I kind

of want an ADV bike what do you guys

think about ad bikes do you think that

they're a fad do you own one let me know
