Yeah, I know, they used to say similar things about shell suitsHi Andy, ADV Bikes are excellent for covering long distances quickly and in comfort with lots of storage options, plus they can go off the beaten track, so you can explore awkward passes etc where normal cars and road bikes tend not to venture to.
Had a KTM 1190 Adventure since 2015 now and it's by far the best all round motorcycle I have ever owned and toured all over Europe from Croatia to Norway on it.
It's fast, when it needs to be, handles superbly, comfortable for two up touring and a whole lot of fun when the front is so easy to lift.
I was a doubter, but would not be without it now.
Best bit of kit you can get smart, stylish, comfortable wear it anywhere.
