ADV really stands for adventure touring. Those bikes are designed for distance on paved roads dirt roads and gravel. I would not expect someone who spends 95% of their time riding within 40 miles of their house to get it.

[@inthewind773]

Hey CycleCruza, been watching you for years. Your bird attack video is a classic. You're wrong about ADV bikes though. We all know you love torque, your Xdiavel had 93 lb-feet of torque, a BMW R1250GS has 105 lb-ft. Think way more comfortable, better handling and massive low down torque for days. Who said you can't wheelie ADVs? A 1290 Super Adventure will wheelie in 3rd gear. An ADV bike is too heavy to pick up off road? Check out Jocelin Snow, a little lady of 5ft1 that has no problem with the biggest GS Adventure because it all comes down to proper technique. Sure they aren't bikes for riding through leafy neighborhood woods, too heavy and expensive for that kind of silliness, but check out the currently ongoing BMW GS trophy videos to see what people can do with these bikes. I'd say get an ADV, because only those who actually tried them are qualified to talk smack. Are there no BMW dealers in Ohio? They're the most likely of all dealerships to allow test rides for a serious buyer, you'd easily get a ride on one. Peace man and keep mixing it up, don't be closed-minded.

@Topshelf you totally missed the point. Yes. A cruiser can run on the highway from coast to coast comfortably. It's not news to anyone. An ADV however, can go coast to coast comfortably OR hit the back unpaved roads and take the literal roads less traveled. That's what makes ADV's stand out from Cruisers. They are go anywhere, do anything motorcycles. They aren't gated behind freeways like Cruisers or uncomfortable like most street bikes. They're the best of both worlds.

I just purchased a 2023 Tiger 1200 Rally Explorer. I’ve been taking it off road and already dropped it once. You are right these adventure bikes are heavy and there super tall bikes. Something I underestimated for sure. But so far I’m loving the Tiger and it’s a absolute tank. I plan on going on many adventures with that machine.

[@cj992]

One of the main factors is an adventure bike or a Supermoto is far safer and capable of Performing safety maneuvering than a cruiser or a sport bike

[@CycleCruza]

True!

[@exothermal.sprocket]

ADV bike: Does a boat load of things pretty well, and several things very well. Dirt, Jeep trails, gravel, jumps, super long distance, multi-surface roads, ground clearance, luggage and passenger accommodations, lots of leg room, stand up while riding, lots of aftermarket support and accessories, can be super powerful and fast, good agility considering the size, quite reliable in most brands, durable in most brands, great tank range, tons of tire options from knobby to sports tires, and finally pretty cost-conscious for the amount of technology and capability you get. Cruiser: Does one thing well. Stinks at literally everything else, without heavy modifications.

[@SammyTheSituation]

Thanks for this video, bro.. I feel so much more educated from this content. Well done.

[@denrizza]

I 100% agree with this. Those LARGER ADV's are designed way more for the road than off road. IMHO, 650 or 700cc's is the biggest a person should deal with. Even then, one should be careful of how much luggage/gear they put on said ADV. Top heavy WILL dump you sooner or later. Especially for the average rider.

[@timhamilton5699]

Middle weight ADV bike (Tenere, Tiger 900, Tuareg 660, 890 Adventure, etc...). How are you going to enjoy it? Back Country Discovery Routes, Smokey Mountains 500, Trans America Trail, or just riding the thing. Coming from a Tiger owner for the past 5 years and someone who has spent some time on BDR, you can have adventures on ADV Motos.

[@240fxst]

There are some expert riders that can do some amazing things off-road with ADV bikes but they have some great skills.

[@ryanmalone2681]

@@CycleCruza you’d be surprised how quickly you can tackle terrain with proper technique and training. I recommend to go to BMW Rider Academy, go to the ADV shows and take advantage of the training there, and buy Chris Birch’s ‘Day No To Slow’ and drill the techniques until they’re habit. You will be able to tackle a lot in a short period of time if you put in the hours of drills and practice on the trails. Oh, and don’t get scared off if you break something in year 1. 😉

[@mathieuconstantin3356]

Middleweight ADV is the way to go over those heavy ADVs like the T7 or the Aprilia Tuareg. But try cafe racer like my Z900rs Café lol

I'm excited to see what Honda Transalp will be, and if it will have a more offroad version as an option. Suzuki is making a new V-strom 700, but I doubt it will stray far from what the original 650 was like. I actually ride a green Z900rs cafe, its a great bike! My next bike will be for off-roading.

[@faluzi66]

Cycle Cruza, sounds like a very similar tune you used to say about supermotos vs dual sports. I say put up or shut up! I somewhat agree about the huge 500 lbs 1200cc adv bikes. But a middle weight adv bike, like a KLR650, T700, KTM 890 with 90/10 knobby tires can do it alot including gnarly single track. I know, I've done it and I have both dual sport and adv bikes. Show us some gnarly single track stuff on your supermotto. A skilled guy with thr adv bike described above can handle more then a supermotto slicked out tires or average dual sport skill level rider. Buy a T700 or KTM 890 for your channel and make us all shut up and eat humble pie. 😋😉 But I bet you will sing a different tune if you man up and put your money where your mouth is😎 All in good fun, bro...love your channel just wanted tease you a bit :)

[@mrhands2757]

So true

[@JMeyer-qj1pv]

I think you're too hung up on the word "adventure", which you always mistranslate to mean off road. But a more accurate definition is jack of all trades and feature rich. There are plenty of street oriented ADV bikes. And for tall guys like me, they have high ground clearance for spacious cockpits and good wind protection. To compare ADV bikes to cruisers is a false comparison. Cruisers are low slung, slow bikes. Most big ADV bikes have massive torque and are closer to comfortable sport bikes than to cruisers.

I've done the whole ADV bike thing. These days they're nothing but glorified street bikes with longer suspension travel and bigger front wheels. They're like the SUV's of the motorcycle world. They're heavy beasts when taken off road compared to your Yamaha. IMO just get a proper sport tourer or a cruiser.

[@mrhands2757]

I go off road on my Cb500x all the time, I have a blast, it's only 400lbs, goes over 300 miles on a tank, comfy and i get tons of compliments, has just as much torque and horsepower if not more than the supermotos(below 500cc)

[@Fee.1]

No disrespect but that’s the worst bike in existence, followed closely by the other Honda 500’s and then the 300’s

[@RyanAce42]

I’m in the market for an adv bike because they are a jack of all trades bike. I won’t be taking it on any single track but would be taking it on dirt logging roads. Adv bikes are easy to wheelies also because of the extra weight help it balance better and the torque and engine braking help keep it on the balance point. There’s no way that adv bikes are boring. Some of the best riders can do amazing things on them and its really up to the riders ability the number of things you can do with them. They are very popular because we all can’t have multiple bikes and adv bikes can do everything, even go off road. I wouldn’t be doing any hardcore off road stuff unless I was with other riders since it will be going down and can have help picking it up.

If you got the money, get the bagger. The ADV is the better bang for the buck. Hands down.... Just that simple. Most sport riders will like the ADV better. Mainly because it will give you sporty bike-ish performance. Not to mention an ADV is a versatile platform. Baggers are a one trick pony. I refuse to buy an ADV only because I like Sport Touring platforms better. Frankly, an ADV bike is mostly a Sport Touring bike with more upright seating.

[@asmith8092]

The heavier ADVs are very utilitarian and can also handle off road depending on the skill of the rider. It really all depends on the preference of the rider. I love my BMW GS and it can handle a lot of types of roads.

[@Silverwinger82]

I've done demo rides on the Tenere and the KLR 650. I like riding them, but I wouldn't want to own either. They are too tall for me. I live in a row home with no garage, so my bikes are parked on the 8 by 10 foot patch of dirt that is considered the front yard. It's not the most even surface, so parking one of those poses a much greater risk of dropping it in the process. Plus I prefer shaft driven motorcycles, anyway.

[@MattTCfarm]

I honestly believe at least some Harley riders do not wave because if they take a hand off the grip they will lose control of the bike.

[@fortyinthestreets]

Ktm 690 enduro r or 500 exc f will be the lightest adventure bikes you can get without having horrible highway speed

[@clownpocket]

Maybe and adventure bike is good for certain things, like getting on forest roads, that would work better than a street bike. But if your purpose is to pop wheelies all day on public roads and do all kinds of illegal hooligan stuff then they probably are not the best thing. If you like waving at everybody on the road; mopeds, scooters, bicycles, skateboards, slingshots, lawn mowers, and that gives you pleasure, then enjoy. I always return a wave on my Harley. But sometimes it gets annoying. Especially those 3 wheeled cars that always turn up at motorcycle events. Can you pop a wheelie with one hand on the bar? If you had a choice would you pop a wheelie or wave?

[@benjamin.f.b.]

love the yamaha 'teneer' riders, they customize and improve hard

[@matts4852]

I'd get one of those tenear 700 you talk about

[@CONNER3497]

Hey Cycle Cruza I have a BMW GS 310 RALLYE. its nice and light and is awesome offroad and on trails. As well as on the road , any thoughts on that?

[@PigeonSpeaks]

I have CB500x. It's fun for light offroad where there is no big risk of dropping it, but I agree that lighter is better when it comes to offroad riding.

[@reallyoldfart6540]

No matter what I get next, I'd still want a Honda Grom or maybe Zero... bike for around town. Depends upon what one wants or needs, I only needed around town, now... CB500X can do cross country, even the new Harley Nightster could do it, a bike designed for touring... Maybe it's time for that epic ride. Your new bike is supposed to be comfortable, a nice spring ride to Yellowstone and beyond...

[@4sapphireb]

I love sitting up high on a dual sport. You can see a bunch of stuff you wouldn’t see on a cruiser.

[@douglaselliott8298]

Because of their long travel suspensions and natural 'sit up - beg' wide handlebar ergonomics Adventurers are comfortable and confidence-inspiring to ride as well as being versatile. Their aesthetics however are anything from classic. Cruisers are to motorcycling as are leathers. They too commonly have comfortable ergonomics, but often lack suspension-wise. If you put a BMW GS1250 and R18 side by side and said I can have only '1' my head would explode. If I had to choose only "1" for LIFE it would be the GS.

[@CycleCruza]

It was supposed to be delivered to the dealership on 8/29. I call every day and nada. My patience is running thin. I was hoping it would come in before I head down south to close on my house but I doubt it. Sucks. Its hard getting bikes now, this bike I ordered, there is not ONE of these bikes at any dealership in the country right now!

What about a Honda 450RL? Good power, "light", can do highways. It's "do it all" isn't it?

[@mikeskidmore6754]

I just bought a 2008 Buell Ulysses.. They call it sort of an adventure bike more like a Sports Touring bike with side cases and a top case. My model is an XT .. there is another version with longer travel suspension and an even taller seat height .. Mine is more of the on road model .. which I much prefer as with the cases and gasoline in it it's like 530# The frame is light but that Harley Davidson Thunderstorm engine is super heaver.. I wish I could put an Indian FTR-1200 engine in it ..

[@bobnaidoo1]

Love to get a gs. Haven’t heard complaints about those bikes

[@browngreen933]

If Kawasaki would increase the Versys 300-X twin to 400cc and keep it at 386 pounds, it would be a good all-around adv bike.

[@bradjohnson1473]

I agree CC they are to heavy for off road. I deal with two hernias in my groin I got from having to push a crf 250r out of the woods and that's a light bike granted I was in the WV mountains so there was a good bit of up hill pushing.

[@jimperry4420]

I had a TransAlp and a Klr, both were too heavy. I rode dirt bikes growing up and it’s do-able but not ideal. Tool for the job, ya know?

[@frontieroverland4502]

Brotha i have a chinese adv and it is anything but boring it will power wheelie in 3rd gear, do rolling burnouts and out accelerate sport bikes for stop light to stop light. 😂😂😂. I do need a proper dual sport though ngl.

[@Robnord1]

"Old Geezer" here. 👴 Whatdaya mean old men can't pick up a heavy adventure bike? It's all about technique. I have a BMW R1200RT that weighs about the same as a 1200GS (570 lbs) that I (68 years old/160lbs) can pick up with ease, even fully fueled and loaded.

[@CycleCruza]

lol I was just kidding. But older folks should be extremely careful picking up such a heavy bike, there have been many an ADV rider that eded up with a hernia or back issues. As stated in the video, I think ADV bikes make the best cruisers and touring bikes. You are strong! Great to see you still riding and staying young and strong! 💪 Motorcycles keep you young!

[@ryanmalone2681]

@@CycleCruza If you get a hernia or back issues, you’re just doing it wrong. Proper technique is simple and can be learned in under 2 mins.

[@garypleasant3116]

Couldn’t finish the video. Being a hoon in peoples neighborhoods is not cool. This is why Karen’s and cops are looking at us cross. I ride a bmw k1600b, a Moto Guzzi Breva 1100 or a bmw gs 1250 adventure for commuting. On the weekends I take the bmw 1250 up and down the gulf coast, in the national parks and the hill country of Texas. Anyone thinking about what bike to buy take a test ride and decide for yourself. Once you have it please ride like you have common sense. If you want to wheely do it on back roads with no one around and if you want to race take it to a track. Don’t be ignorant.

I completed Black Bear pass on a ktm 790 adventure r and alone 9/4/22. Probably wouldn't do it again on it, but it can be done!

[@joeyboogenz]

Hey Cruza. Speaking about weight ,I was watching one of MDB's vids (the Harley guy) & he had tried to go off road on a bagger and gets it stuck . It literally took him 5 hrs to dig out ,and lift that 800+ lb. clunker . I was thinking . WHAT WAS HE THINKING !!!!!! As a life long rider who has owned about 30 bikes so far , I have never liked Harleys. Or Cruisers. I only owned 1 cruiser and that was because of a female(nightmare) . It was a Kawasaki Vulcan 750. It was actually a decent bike and still could bust a wheelie here & there . As a geezer now ,I see an adventure bike in my future. I will need range & flexibility but also somewhat lightweight . Cruiser is out for me as I gotta be able to explore while cruising. So if there is any chance of being able to ride a decent interval between fill-ups and carry some surplus + be able to go off the grid . I'm thinking Kawi KLH 650.Tall ? ,yes heavy ? , not as bad as a Hog. perfect example . Disclaimer : I am a fan of MDB & don't hate Harleys as much as I used to (as long as they are completely upgraded) this is good stuff though . Do not try to do enduro shit on a bagger !!!!!!! kzbin.info/www/bejne/iYuwkKxoerZpedE

Have you received delivery of your new motorcycle yet?

[@stuglenn1112]

In private designers/engineers of the manufactures will admit what their BIG adventure bikes really are is a Sport Touring motorcycle dressed up as big dirt bike. However, some of the Smaller Adv. bikes like the Honda CRF300l rally are legit.

[@humzilla707]

Those big adv bikes suspension is far superior to that crf300sLow

[@stuglenn1112]

@@humzilla707 I agree the CRF 300 stock suspension is a steaming pile. But it comes down to cost and it being considered an entry level bike. The suspension is easily upgraded and the motor and transmission ratio are excellent stock. However it's light enough to go into the woods and ride a mudded up, rutted up, rooted up single track if you ride within the stock suspensions limits. Taking a big GS or Pan America into the woods would be insanity.

ADV Jack of all trades, master of none. If you whant a little bit of everything. If you whanna get crazy get a motorcross or enduro or a SM. But if you don't mind the crazy shit and just whant to travel long distances and maybe take a back road or two get a ADV. Personally I'm all in for ADV's

[@Chase_N]

Concerning going "off road, gravel, treacherous roads", watch my vid about Should I have bought an ADV bike- kzbin.info/www/bejne/apXagqqIqbmcZ5o I do just fine up my horror show gravel road with steep inclines on my Road King. As far as drops go, I got the Road King after looking at an Africa Twin because if I drop the RK, I'm only halfway down or less with the crash bar. On ALL adventure bikes, a drop even with a crash bar means it's 100% down on its side. That means picking up the full 500+ pounds. I had a buddy drop his AT & he still wasn't able to pick it up. He joked that I wouldn't be able to pick up my RK either, so we set it down on a rug inside my garage. I picked it up just fine & we set it down a 2nd time so he could try it- he picked it up just fine too. A lot of times it's not about weight, but leverage & angles.

[@topshelf6623]

[@ryanmalone2681]

Sorry Cyclecruza, you have no idea what you’re talking about. I ADV ride solo all the time and my GS ain’t that hard to pick up. Last weekend I dropped it in a ditch in a creek and I’m getting it out I dropped it again 4-5 times. Rode putts there. Get some training and most of what you encounter is pretty easily overcome. Regarding lightweight, that’s great if you can, or are inclined, to trailer your bike to where you want to ride it. Personally, I like to ride a few hours into the mountains and just explore on the bike. I’m on it for 12 hours so I need to be comfy to do the distance and duration. It dual sport ain’t gonna so it. Where Id seriously consider leaving the GS at home is maybe doing a difficult BDR, such as the COBDR. I would consider trailering it out since I’m in TN, and then having a nice light bike for the trip and an easier time getting there.

[@CycleCruza]

Nice! Really it comes down to preference and what works for you. ADV bikes can be picked up ok but if you mess around in some gnarly off-road stuff you'll get worn out fast. For touring, ADV bikes are the best for sure, bigger fuel tank and all the amenities and comfort you could want. There are some guys that did the bear pass in Colorado, they made Honda CRF450L ADV bikes and said they would not even attempt to use a full on ADV bike in those conditions. It just depends on the application. Don't get me wrong, I think ADV bikes look badass. If I ever do coast to coast on street I'll definitely get a ADV bike.

[@ryanmalone2681]

@@CycleCruza They are exhausting if it’s more complicated that a drop where you don’t have a good footing and can’t easily pick it up, but dropping it is the exception and proper ongoing training and drills are crucial. If you’re going to big bike adventure, you gotta treat it like a job and get proficient, and if you do, the places you can go and things you can see are so worth it. Also, you can still rip it in the twisties. I still have a sports bike, track bike, and a dual sport, but the GS gets the lion’s share of the time because there is almost no road you can’t explore when you’re on it. I’ve only been ADV riding for less than a year and am already doing an easy BDR (MABDR). Anyone can do it. Just remember, everything you do off-road is the opposite of on-road, so it takes some getting used to!
