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.

Triumph Tiger 800 XC (2014)
Definitely my favorite bike I've ever owned. Its an absolute blast to ride. Comfortable in the street and its never made me overly nervous off-road. It commutes well, it camps well, it slays twisties and it looks sexy doing it all. Its a bad mama-jama.

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.

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 950 Super Enduro R (2009) Updated
Still in honeymoon phase. Bike absolutely rips. An entirely new, raw experience compared to the R1200GS, and I'm still modding.

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.

Triumph Tiger 800 XC (2012) Updated
Great ride. Had a 2012 road that I started with and upgraded when I found a deal on a used XC. Larger front wheel and better suspension were huge. That said, the the stock suspension sucks for someone bigger than average. With some upgrades it has been a great dual sport and tourer.

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 F800 GS (2013) Updated
I have had my 2013 BMW F800GS since September of 2012, and have since put 25k miles on it (and counting). It has proved to be a true all-rounder that excels at every task you put it to. Whether it is commuting, canyon carving, eating up freeway miles, packed to the brim for camping, single track, or fire roads, it seems to always be in its element. The only real complaint I have is the stock suspension, and it could use a little more POWER. For most people it is probably adequate. The specs can be deceiving, because it is an extremely versatile little Rotax with power and torque in every nook and cranny of the rev range. However, when you load it up with gear and try to do freeway speeds up steep inclines you can definitely feel the limitation. Other than that, my bike has been absolutely trouble free!

BMW HP2 Enduro (2007)
Great bike. Suspension needs some work. I also plan to add larger tanks for travel.

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 />

Great adventure bike once the mods have been done.

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.

I love my KLR. It has its limitations in some areas but overall is has been a dependable and worthy mount for my adventures. More to come.
