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.

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.

Honda XR650L (2008)
I love this bike. There's a reason Honda hasn't changed much 1993-2015. The seat isn't a sofa, but it doesn't punish you like a dirt bike seat. The stock shenko tires are pretty good all around tires. Accessories are plentiful and inexpensive. Nothing on the bike is going to overly impress you. It's the combination of basic components that work well and reliably.<br /><br />The one significant weakness is the CDI unit.....they are subject to failure. If you start incurring random electrical glitches, you probably need to buy a new CDI unit $200. This is a known issue and it's unacceptable that Honda has not remedied the situation or provided extended warranty replacements with improved units.<br /><br />Anyway, the bike is an outstanding value and a comfortable, reliable dualsport.<br /><br />

Kawasaki Versys 650 (2008)
It is my first bike and A bike I will never part with for many reasons. Absolutely fantastic on the road even if a little choppy behind the small windshield. The sporty feel paired with a relatively upright seating position make for a bike that can be ridden with bravado from dusk till dawn and it has been. Marketed as being a versatile system Kawasaki said it would venture down those tempting gravel trails and that it did many times with great success. The tiny 17" front wheel can sap confidence in deep gravel but if anything as a new rider this thought me a lot about the workings of a motorcycle in such a situation. However the line is drawn there. Its a little delicate for single track or technical riding and the tall but road oriented suspension left me fearing for the the bike at times to the point that it shook a fan brush out of line on one ride and left me nursing the bike home without a working fan. A great bike, I really can't stress that enough but if your wanting to be aggressive off road it may not be the unit for you.

KTM 1190 Adventure (2015)
Some might say "baby" of the ktm adventure bikes but to be honest it does absolutely everything I want it to. Plenty of trick bits added and it's my go to bike for all day riding. The power is noticeably different to the 1190 but up to 6.5k revs it's put out the same BHP so doesn't bother me at all. Suspension... Yes it has some and that's about it. Might be my next upgrade but undecided at the moment as I don't keep my bikes long. Still happy with this one tho.

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 ;)

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

KTM 690 Enduro R (2012)
I am not sure if this really is the best ADV bike, but it is an awesome bike in terms of raw power. Without gear, it rests at about 310 pounds. Not too bad for an almost 700cc motor. I bought the 690 because I wanted something smaller than my R1200GSA. I still wanted a bike I could ride on the freeway to get to where I plan to ride. I quickly learned that this is just not a freeway bike. With stock gearing, it can cruise somewhat comfortably at about 65mph, however once you get up to 80 mph it is like holding onto a paint mixer. I did take it to Mexico last year where I spent three days on it consecutively, and was quite comfortable. This was due largely to the fact we were almost always off road and I was not going freeway speed. Additionally, I was routinely standing and sitting depending on the terrain. This will definitely be my Mexico bike for my short trips to Baja. When I am going up to Canada and spending upwards of a week on the road, the R1200GSA will be my choice.
Early on I had some issues with the FI mapping, but have since worked that out. I love the power of this bike, being able to pull the front wheel up in third gear is pretty impressive. If you are heavy on the throttle you can eat rear tires pretty fast. I have been using the MotoZ Desert Enduro tires and found they last fairly well. All in all for what I use the bike for, I really enjoy it.
