Dual Sport Motorcycling in Terlingua - Big Bend National Park

This is a trip I took back in Feb 2020. Terlingua is one of the few "warm" places to ride in the winter. It's not Colorado, but the riding is interesting and the town is fun with a unique vibe.

Greg LeBlanc I am looking for a classic style bike to navigate the trails at Big Bend. I'm really interested in the Triumph Scramblers. I would like to be able to transport in the bed of my 2019 Ford Ranger Pickup which is a mid size truck with a 5ft bed so I am kind of leaning towards the Scrambler 900. I was wondering if that would be enough bike to traverse the terrain there. Not worried about heavy dirt bike riding, just mainly for the views and secret hiding places that you can only get to with a bike. What do you guys think? Anyone with experience with the Scramblers? 900, 1200 CX or 1200 EX? Any advice on a bike? My biggest obstacle is the 5' bed length to transport from Katy, TX to Big Bend.

Greg, I am not familiar with these bikes. I would say that the roads in this video are very representative of what’s around Terlingua. Some are very wash-boardy. If you are mainly interested in the National Park there is quite a bit of pavement throughout. I have only been there once so there are probably a lot of places I haven’t hit yet. May be back there next year. Best of luck.
