7 Best Used Adventure Motorcycles Under £10,000!

[@marcinniemiec1005]

I bought a bike from them once, Yamaha 600 Fazer as I remember, the bike arrived with an engine stutter issue, I contacted them and they told me that they will send me spark plugs to fix it... A day later the bike died and they told me it was my fault and made me pay for the return courier. Had to call 4 times to get my money back. Great company! Also, they deleted my review 3 times, probably didn't like one star. Avoid at all cost

[@terrybrooks7140]

Multistrada all day long . But I wouldn't buy a bike off superbike factory as there bike are the roughest bikes I've ever seen in a bike showroom .I you want to see how to prep and show a bike properly go to Jordans motorcycles in Leeds 😁

[@S.p.a.c.e.C.o.w.b.o.y]

The Ducati sounds the best to me but I'd have to buy a Kawasaki Versys. Great on-road and will handle a gravel track too.

[@jasonmullin4310]

Honestly rode all three last year, each were impressive but my bike is my daily commuter and it has to be bombproof so I went with the Vstrom. The answer for me about these three would be the KTM, it looks fantastic in black.

[@GIGABACHI]

V-Strom it's bomb-proof. 👌😎👍

[@Da.Onus.Burger.618]

YIKES! That KTM almost sounded like a standard Japanese bike! ' You know what I'm gonna say, MB: Multistrada ALL DAY! Even with the factory exhaust, it sounds angry and aggressive and handles like a sporty touring bike (like you said) which is something I personally like about the Duc's! 😉 Great content as usual! 🙌🏾

[@Whos-That-Guy]

my ktm 1190 adventure was a great bike.. Best all round bike. I did outback touring, sandy tracks, rock gardens, days of endless tarmac, commute in dense traffic and a track day. Couldn't think of a better all round bike. And it was reliable and easy to service... Only problem is it devalued so darn much compared to all the other bikes in the segment.

[@eliodimacali7077]

This video could not come at a better time! There is a void in my garage between my R1200GSA and CRF250L Rally, and have been shopping for a middleweight ADV bike. The Triumph Tiger 800XCA looks like a strong contender - 21-inch front wheel, cruise control, crash bars and skid plate, WP suspension, heated grips and seats, aux fog lights all standard - with lots to like about this bike. Thanks!

[@chrishart8548]

They were a lot of money new the 800 XCA more than a 950 multistrada I believe. But used there great value.

[@bombercountybiker2990]

I have to say the state of the bikes at SBF is almost embarrassing. I have never seen so many poorly prepped bikes. Would never purchase from them based off what I have seen so far.

[@ashleyhazell662]

Quantity over quality. What you lose in final prep you gain in volume-driven cost savings. Each to their own 😊. I ended up not buying a bike from there but understand why people do ... Great prices,; and you can view, test ride and select from pretty much every bike available

[@rogerkay8603]

Had two from there and both good.

[@bombercountybiker2990]

@@rogerkay8603 I have a friend who has had two and also must say they were great bikes in the interest of fairness, But when I went to the doddington show room I was bitterly disappointed

[@rogerkay8603]

@@bombercountybiker2990 Well that KTM did look rough (fasteners etc) so you'd think they'd take a bit more care to protect their reputation I guess.

[@Geshmaal]

Shockingly I test rode a bike at my local Honda dealership recently and it turned out to have a dead front wheel bearing and warped rear brake disc. It was £1500 more than the same bike from SBF! Shocking stuff, at least with SBF you get rock bottom prices.

[@lestersmyth692]

The Ducati sounds the best for sure. To be honest with a 10k budget your spoiled for choice, just take your time and get a nice one as there’s some rough ones out there….for me I chose a 1200 Tiger with no intention of ever taking it off road unless a gravel car park qualifies 😊

[@MotoRiderTube]

MOTOBOB saving the day again! I was bored with nothing to watch and bam! new video. Not that I'm looking for a bike like this, but that's besides the point.

[@motobob]

My pleasure CR! Absolutely love making these videos with SBF - something a little different and I get to ride a nice selection of bikes

[@kawabungah20]

Hi Bob, The Duke sounds best to me. However, here in remote Central California, I could not easily get it serviced or supported. The Beemer would be my choice because reliability is a priority for me and that legendary bike will do everything I need it to. Thanks for a nice review!

[@robertcorbett4720]

The sound, look and set up of the Ducati would get my vote……and I say that as a rock solid BMW man including the GS of which I had a 1250 version

[@weetbix2083]

If you touring, reliability is most important. Vstrom and Africa Twin for the win.

[@therealunclevanya]

You missed the Moto Guzzi V85TT

[@travelinben1966]

Yes,I have the travel edition.Love it.👌👍👍

[@williamrae9954]

V-Strom all day long...for Africa Twin money ,you can buy a near new V/S and kit it out with a Hessler(HRT) or the French equivalent 21/18" upgrade... will outlive the rest of those featured...rally proven(check out the Atlas Rally and the V/S competing). No brainer!

[@merseamoto]

For sound, it has to be the Ducati, but for practicality, I think the BMW would be the one I would pick.

[@toby7504]

If the 800xc goes, l take a explorer 1200 ore a vstrom 1050.

[@jude.25]

I chose a used 1200GS after looking closely at all the premium adventure bikes. I enjoy riding country roads in out-of-the-way places and an occasional gravel road. The GS meets all my needs and has exceeded my expectations. I think everyone should ride what they can afford and makes them happy.

[@dumptrump3788]

Triumph Tiger 800 all day. Got to love that triple, great touring, getting a bit sporty & definitely best of the bunch for off road.

[@Johnhere]

You must be off your head to want to buy a bike from SBF. I particularly like how they keep the bikes dirty for that added off road authenticity

[@williambennett6466]

Surprised myself but the BMW for me but a 1254 if they had one?

[@motobob]

Hmmm I'll have a look next time I'm there but I don't think there were any 1250s under 10k yet

[@DaveDayve]

Luv yr presentation, Luv yr content ideas, Luv yr editing. Fab stuff

[@perryburns6515]

Nice vid sir. Was kinda hoping you were going to choose the super tenere lurking in the shadows for something different. They all have appeal in the exhaust note. The colour scheme on the GS looked pretty good. I think I'd probably go for the multi as it probably handles best in the twisties and let's face it, most owners of all 3 don't take them off road! Though I haven't ridden any of these 3 bikes yet

[@Da.Onus.Burger.618]

The thing with Super Tens is that they REALLY hold their value over here in The States, so good luck finding one that runs for under £10k!

[@nickbrenner4241]

Great video!! Happy i found your channel. I really wanted an africa twin 1100 but couldn't afford one so i picked up a ktm 1190 adventure s and the wife and i love it!!

[@barryhughes1612]

I had a KTM as a loaner from Fowlers whilst my Tiger 850 Sport was being serviced recently, it's an awesome bike wins hands down!

[@Play_Streams]

That Ducati exhaust is bold though I've always preferred the restaint of the GS

[@whylie74]

The multistrada sounds the best of the three, but I don't think I'd pick any of them.

[@gryphongryph]

What is the price on a used Super Tenere these days, they look different than the others which I like.

[@williamrae9954]

Wigan Yamaha had the last of the brand new stock...might have 1 or 2 left yet?

[@SWTrailsAndWheels]

I would pick a Yamaha Super Tenere or Africa Twin

[@cowtipper84]

Did they not have any Honda Crosstourers?

[@steveschneider3872]

I owned a 1200. Good bike I guess. Honda seemed to disown it…in USA anyway. The fueling sucked really bad and aftermarket tuners don’t exist in USA. I sold it and now it’s BMW for me. I love the boxers.

[@davidpierce1363]

Got to go with the KTM. It will be an adequate cruiser, and competitive for the trail. Excellent video. I'm a big fan of your videos. You are the best in my opinion. Cheers!! From Battle Creek, Michigan.

[@ramonschliszka6332]

Versys 1000?

[@Banditmanuk]

Living near Donington Park I often have a wander around this huge place then head to the cafe for a coffee. Reliability wise the Ducati Multistrada would be the last bike I would buy. Owned one back in 2012 and it was a nightmare.

[@williamrae9954]

Phoned them last year to trade in my 2.5yr old Tracer900... 9mths later,my call hasn't been returned, Wigan Yamaha got my cash instead! Shocking service!

[@dennismurray4999]

I think you're right on the choice of the KTM but the Ducati sounds the best!

[@mototracksofficial]

The KTM sounds quite good. Around where i live, i hear too many gs bikes so i kinda got too familiar with it's sound. Just noce to hear a different sound every now and then.

[@Ridingforsanity]

Ducati sounds the best. Out of that lot I would probably pick the GS. Personally I just bought a 2016 Aprilia Caponord Rally 1200, great bike for the engine, the ride, and the style. The GS sounds great but I would scared of all the complexity for maintenance and reliability. The KTM- I don’t like any of the brands styling and I have always heard about reliability issues as well. The Ducati seems like a great bike but For me a little too road focused for my taste. I suppose that is why Ducati will start to offer the Desert X which looks gorgeous the only thing I’d be cautious about the is the entry price and availability for a new model.

[@jarek916]

Hi Bob, great review. My pick Yamaha Super T 1200 all the way :)

[@williamrae9954]

The Thinking Man's GS

[@iwillnotfollow]

Love the Multistrada sound

[@MrAndrew1953]

Ducati Multistrada has the best sound but I'd go for the KTM. Overall though I think your choice of the Triumph 800 is more my kind of bike. Most of my riding these days is short freeway trips or around town.

[@YouMotorcycle]

Fun video but... None of those exhausts did it for me. In their defence though, I have two adventure bikes and I don't think either one sounds fantastic lol

[@Geshmaal]

I'd probably have the GS of the last three but the Multi sounds the best by far. I actually prefer how the pre-liquid cooled GS boxers sounded. The KTM sounded pretty ordinary unfortunately!

[@adammfharris]

What? That is a liquid cooled GS

[@Geshmaal]

@adammfharris yes, and I prefer how the pre-liquid cooled Boxers sound.

[@andrewerrington1977]

Is resale value worth mentioning in the price category? I have a feeling the BMW would win that going away.

[@pw3591]

What about the Yam T7, you can have one brand new for under £10k, and they are brilliant, good on the road, and better than any of these off road.

[@gaz-gemw5801]

KTM for me, I really like the look, take care.

[@pw9150]

Beside the GS it would definitely be a Tiger 800 or the ATA(S) 🥰

[@blueyondermoto]

GS all day long!

[@tomdwyer5695]

GS all the way

[@martynlaverick3405]

Love the sound of the Duke👍

[@ronnie.b31]

Why not the Yamaha tenere 1200 or the Ducati enduro on the list

[@justlucky13]

Myself I would save a bit longer and buy the new Honda Africa Twin 1100 reliability, maintenace,parts availabilty is the reasoning behind my choice the Ducati sounds great

[@williamrae9954]

Want reliability, buy a Suzuki ...all those World Endurance Championships count for something, and you won't have the Honda electrical gremlins!

[@JamieBroughton70]

Ktm adventure hands down have riden bmw and ktm ,ktm covers everything i ride in Australia fyi love your channel👍

[@kevskibiz]

Great vid love these comparisons …. The 10k bracket is what most people can probably get too … new bikes 18k plus are out of reach for most 🤙

[@laynetravis]

Should have a half of this price used

[@neilmackinnon3371]

Gotta love the sound of a Duke. I have to say that none of those would be my choice, but I guess it all depends on what Adventure you want your bike for. The Tiger 800 however absolutely floats my boat.

[@pinkies_up_garage]

That Multistrata sounds MEAN. I love it

[@hilohahoma1547]

I'm such a Triumph junky it's tough but I'd grab the Beemer with the KTM a close second.

[@malcolmpatton9314]

I Would buy the BMW but the Ducati is by far the better sounding bike if I still lived in the uk this would be a great place to buy my next bike.love these video’s

[@LushmanGB]

I bought a 1260 multistrada for less than 10k, but not the S version though.

[@guywolff]

I would trust the GS @ 20k miles over the KTM @9K miles and 500 quid less .. Northumberland and Scotland's North Coast 500 for me :)

[@coboisarapatanas]

The Ducati sounds great!!

[@Peter-wc4kr]

The GS wins, it’s the highest selling worldwide adv bike for good reason. The Ducati has insane maintenance cost but has the best sound. The KTM has had reliability issues and even pre covid parts have always been in short supply.

[@williamrae9954]

Because the wannabe McWokes and Charlies rushed out and bought them to go adventuring to Costa or Starbucks...horrid, oversized bikes for the average sized person...and the quality has left them long ago!

[@suprlite]

If maintenance costs and reliability matters - the v-strom wins, hands down.

[@Lbob2020]

I follow you from Morocco, you are really amazing 👍👍🏍️🏍️

[@georgephilippus]

The first GS and Multi both clearly have crash or fall damage.

[@killorbytes]

The Ducati sounds the best. Hands down. Holy crap.

[@stefanmirceastoica7548]

CRF 1100dct,al day, everyday ! You can do Your own service on the bike quite cheap and quick with 180£

[@marcusgeorge1825]

Hi Bob, great review. Thank you. KTM is where my money would go towards. 👍😎🇦🇺

[@creedm3040]

The Ducati sounds the best but for my money - the GS. Best!

[@747driver3]

I’ll save you all some time and money. Buy the GS or GSA. Every enthusiast should own and do a long ride on a GSA at least once in their lifetime. I can’t say say that about any of the others. It’s been great.

[@Steve-jl2wi]

I go for GS

[@ffs5532]

Not many KTM 1190 R Adventures in UK ?.. Mines 8 years old on 20000KM....not one single fault since new.....my choice!

[@GarHarman]

Ducati for exhaust sound and ktm to purchase.

[@pl1068]

I’d want my adventure bike to have a V4 with shaft drive, only one manufacturer makes one.

[@Sandman.68.]

Going out to B&Q on a sunny satarday is not an Adventure 😂

[@shadabahmed1572]

I have been riding adv for long period of time No one can compete Africa Twin simply

[@martinhughes9769]

Ducati better sound but for me none of them really floats my boat

[@timparsons8515]

That multistrada does sound tasty.....

[@bootsinthedirt]

Ducati sounds best,no contest. But I’d take either of the other two…probably the GS.

[@benkelly2190]

I’m a GSA owner and I would take the KTM. Ducati hasn’t a clue what gear to be in at slow speeds.

[@ianbagwell8758]

Ducati sounds great. But Ktm for the win, except Im short so BMW 😎🇲🇽🇨🇦

[@HairyMTB]

I would pick the Ducati just for the sound it made :P

[@davidbrown5216]

Jesus mate i would sack the people that prepped those bikes, the Gs looks rough(crash bars marked to hell , basic stuff not clean) as well as some of the others ,the rusty exhaust fasteners are a solid no!!!!!! id spend my money elsewhere

[@nealkeith299]

No question Ducati sounds the best! My 2011 with full Arrow exhaust sounds even better!

[@NBMBC40]

None of those three Honda ATAS would be my choice.

[@gamerwarzone9993]

3,44 BEST

[@fiucik1]

Super bike factory let you to take a bike for a spin? Because normally they expect people to buy biked from them without riding them, which sounds ridiculous to me...

[@Bruno-my9uf]

Gs 1200 all the way !!!!

[@MrPAlberst2]

Judging on sound the Multistrada wins it by miles!!

[@yushpeaceandlove]

Soundwise Ducati

[@nandonespolo]

1200GS no doubt

[@Rezaroth]

WHAT? NO HARLYS?

[@williamrae9954]

Still OVER 10 Grand...unfortunately

[@John-by6jw]

GS i think

[@davidalonzi2918]

Ducati sounds the best but I would probably buy the BMW

[@trer1969]

Exhaust note?? Ducati by a mile.

[@FourIntoOne]

Wouldn't pick any of the three ugliest bikes on the road you showcased. Africa twin every time. Btw were those bikes prepped for sale? If so they were embarrassingly bad. That GS was minging.

[@grenphelps7455]

🤦🤦 revving them from cold...a big no, no
