Triumph Tiger 900 Rally Pro (2020)
A bit early to review completely so I'll leave this placeholder here. Impressed so far with power/weight, 21" front wheel and lots of bells/whistles: tubeless tires, cruise control, TFT display, heated grips and seat, led aux lights, etc...

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.

BMW F650 GS Dakar (2001)
Made for adventure and offroading, in my opinion a decent bike for a decent price. The suspension is too slack for onroadriding, plus it could use some more power for onroad. But this is the Dakar version, you need to take this baby into the dirt. Exhaust is too heavy for the back, so get yourself a slip-on on it and brwaaaaap away !

BMW R1200 GS LC (2013)
As the first large Dual-Sport I've ever owned I'd have a hard time rating this bike. It serves me well and has always brought me home safely.

BMW R1200 GS Adventure (2008)
Bought used in 2010 and haven't regretted it for a minute. Took it on White Rim Trail (not sure what I was thinking) as my first off road experience since being a kid. This is my go-to, long mileage bike. Aftermarket Corbin allows me to easily do 700-900 mile days.

BMW F800 GS (2013) Updated
Currently I have two ponies I keep in my stable " garage" 2008: F650GS Dakar & 2013 F800 GS. I traveled most of the South East Coast all last year totaling a good 28,000mls mostly solo on the F650.I wanted a larger engine and have recently (Mid December) purchased the F800gs For a RTW/West coast exploration. I'm still getting comfortable with the 800's weight (especially packed with camping gear). I have had the honor of training and riding with some of XLADV riders. I believe we are headed to Lake Berryessa this weekend. I feel this is a great start to another awesome big bike community!

BMW R1200 GS Adventure LC (2014)
This is my only motorcycle, so I'm pretty biased.
I plan to put in a proper review...

Great bike. Suspension needs some work. I also plan to add larger tanks for travel.

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.

Suzuki V-Strom 650 (2013)
Disclaimer: This is my first motorcycle, i.e. I don't know what I don't know about what's good bad and ugly about motorcycles. Ahh, ignorance is bliss ...<br /><br />IMO this bike was very easy to ride from day one and I can't imagine a better starting bike for me (YMMV -- I'm six feet tall and 200 lbs). I don't consider myself to be a natural at anything so the ease with which I took to riding this bike says more about the forgiving nature of the bike than the rider.<br /><br />The 650 v-twin seems smooth and has always delivered the power I've needed whether on the highway or my limited dirt experience and when loaded with camping gear.<br /><br />Once offroad or taking my daughters two-up on the bike I definitely notice the stock factory suspension is being pushed. I hope to remedy this in the near future.<br /><br />All in all, based on my limited riding experience and current needs, I'm very pleased with this bike. It's price point allows me to add and upgrade only what I want to add or upgrade.<br /><br />Farkles: Barkbusters Storm handguards, Givi 52L Trekker Case, OEM side cases, OEM center stand, Weld86 skid plate <br /><br />

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 />

BMW F700 GS (2014)
Excellent bike for urban riding, camping, and the occasional muddy trail. My only gripe, wish it had the same power as the 800GS. that 10hp difference would be nice to have.
