KTM 990 Adventure (2007)
Absolutely love this bike! The miles are adding up and its starting to show its age but boy has this bike taken me places. I would only consider the 1190R if I were to replace it.- 1

KTM 1190 Adventure R (2015) Updated
It took a little tweaking with the ergonomics and a few other things above and beyond the usual mods to make this bike long distance worthy. But now that it is, I am absolutely in love with it. Practically unlimited yet very manageable power. The suspension and traction control makes this bike surefooted both on and off road, regardless of weather conditions. Lastly, the boner inspiring qualities of this bike go without saying. Between the sound, the power and the looks, it's a damn shame the 20-50 year old single female population doesn't seem to share the same interest and excitement in this bike as their male counterparts apparently do... Just sayin ;)- 3

KTM 950 Adventure (2003) Updated
It's my mule, doesn't do any one thing great but it doesn't do anything bad. All it does is make me smile trip after trip, mile after mile. I like it enough I bought an 06 950 S to go with it.- 2

KTM 950 Adventure S (2006)
A much improved version of the 03-05, mostly due to o less vibration from the new balancer.- 1

KTM 640 Adventure (2003)
It's rude, crude and unrefined, vibrates like half a girls battery operated boyfriend, and it is fun to ride!

Honda XL600V Transalp (1989)
Bought it new in '89, I doubt I will ever sell it. One of the smoothest and quietest v-twin motors I've ever ridden. For me it needs more fuel capacity and fit a tall person better, a bit cramped.

Yamaha Super Tenere (2013) Updated
Definitely a good bike, no doubt.
Although...
I have to admit I'm not really the biggest fan of the parallel-twin engine.
It has power and torque, sure, but I don't like the "curve". It's a tad too linear.
Another thing I don't like about the S10, it's the...tank. Rather, the size of it. 23liters aren't really a lot, in my opinion, for ADVing or even for simply touring.
FINALLY (I promise) I feel like the suspension are a tad...lacking. I can't seem to find a proper setting: a couple weeks ago I was touring in Sardinia (Island on the left of Italy), and even with the suspensions stiffened up, the bike was feeling "wobbly".
Aside from those, I have no other complaints. LOL- 3

BMW F800 GS Adventure (2014) Updated
I had a '13 GSA 1200. It was too big for me.
"Pick a standard 1200, no?"
No, because I love the rugged bulkyness of the Adventure models.
So...here's the new toy! A 2013 F800GSA, "sand beige" color, with only 16k KMs, and full optional: Full aluminium panniers set with BMW internal bags for the side panniers, heated grips, ESA, ABS/ASC, on-board computer, 2 riding modes (Road/Enduro), LED foglights, LED blinkers, and maybe even something else.
Plus, the previous owner installed a couple toys that I would've installed anyway: crash bars for the "tank" (by GIVI), a bigger skidplate (GIVI again), and the expanded sidestand base (no idea who made it).
After a full day of riding, I can say I'm VERY satisfied. Fuel consumption is ridicolously low, the bike's very comfortable (solo and with pillion), and most importantly, it's FIFTY KILOGRAMS lighter than both my previous GSA1200 and my ex-SuperTenere.
I've only found 3 things I don't like on this bike:
1- Sound. Easily fixable with a proper exhaust.
2- Handguards. They leave half my hand exposed to air/cold.
3- Windscreen. It's big, but it leaves my head exposed.
Again, I can easily fix all these "problems".
Can't wait to ride more! :)- 4

Triumph Tiger 800 XRx (2015)
Compared to others in it's class it was the most comfortable for me. I adore the 3 cylinder engine.- 1

Suzuki V-Strom 1000 Adventure (2014)
Very fun bike - lots of torque - and a super value at around 12K. It’s definitly not a dirt bike but it’s very capable off road. It’s been great for me - mine is nearly all stock, including the seat! Ergonomics improved with 1/1 risers and lowered foot pegs.

BMW R1200 GS LC (2015)
I know that there are no such things as the perfect motorcycle for everything but I believe that BMW was getting close with the 2017 Rallye. This bike is also referred to by those in the know as "the Frankenbike" because of the rider, Geoff Ballard who was responsible for putting it together and sending the plan to BMW. The Rallye is powered by the time-tested 1170cc ‘Wasserboxer’ air/liquid-cooled flat-twin DOHC powerplant that pumps out 125hp and drives through a six-speed gearbox and shaft drive single-sided swingarm (https://adbmag.com.au/editorial/adv-test-1000cc-adventure-bike-shootout/). The bike is further improved with the addition of Woody's Superlite and Superlaced Dakar wheels, Black Dog Cycle Works adventure pegs, Cyclops lighting, the AltRider lower bars and skid plate, and the MachineArtMoto cylinder head guards.

BMW R1200 GS Adventure (2015) Updated
Best motorcycle I've owned.
Only drawback I've found is too many electronic gizmos. Don't get me wrong, the electronics are WONDERFUL but when they fail, you aren't left with many onsite repair options.

BMW R1200 GS Adventure (2015)
I lost my Goldwing in the Santa Rosa Fires and this is my replacement. I bought it used from a member here and I am very happy! There is something about the Boxter engine that just feels right. I do still look at the new Goldwing and the K1600 BMW, and the Triumph. Perhaps I need all of them?

Love my F800gs.
Been a great bike so far on and off road.
Lots of mods to make her better.
