The best mid capacity adventure bike you've never heard of.

[@BDHO73]

That scenery is amazing. Great shots! I agree, the scrambler looks the goods.

[@BikerTorque]

The Scrambler is a cracker, looks good and was so much fun to ride

[@faystanford2367]

Another good one Ross. I have never heard of that bike either but the ones mostly talked about at our home were Panthers BMW and Honda Dreams.

[@BikerTorque]

Ahhhh Panthers…

[@RoadsOfOz]

That trip looked amazing. I had a Laro Prostreet (Hunters were rebadged Laros) and it was a lot of fun. Shame the Maverick does not seem available here.

[@BikerTorque]

It is a shame it isn’t available here, as it’s not a bad option for a lightweight adventure bike. Didn’t know that Hunters were rebadged for the Aussie market in the past

[@retiredandhappy9258]

Laros were not, sorry to burst that bubble Mate

[@ThrottleDownunder]

Looks like a great bike. And that scenery.... wow

[@BikerTorque]

It was a great bike Rob, very surprising. Yes Bali is stunning once you get away from the tourist traps.

[@DispatchMoto]

Looks like the Intrepid Moto guys have life figured out down there. Thanks for sharing!

[@BikerTorque]

They certainly do. Thanks for wTching

[@Motooz_91]

Nice review. The Maverick has all the goods. Great location mate.

[@BikerTorque]

Thanks Damo. Yeah it’s a pretty good mid capacity bike. Bali gets a bit of a bad wrap but honestly the locations and people are beautiful

[@Motooz_91]

@@BikerTorque it’s the people what makes it special. I’ve done northern Thailand twice on Versy’s and can’t wait to do it again for the same reason’s people firstly and the roads.

[@perimund]

Kove 500x original China name i think, Daytona Maveric 500 in Greece, Macbor XR5 in Spain,... the same bike comes with the different names atw.

[@BikerTorque]

Thanks

[@brettfairley-li3gy]

Ross this looks great

[@BikerTorque]

that's what you'll be riding in July / August Brett.

[@fcalin21]

The weight you are talking about is without fluids. The curb weight is 206.

[@BikerTorque]

Either way it’s a light bike

[@fcalin21]

@@BikerTorque Aprilia Tuareg has 204 kgs, Kawasaki x 300 has 175 curb weight. It does not seem to me a light motorcycle.

[@BikerTorque]

@@fcalin21 maybe not, but it felt light so carries the weight well

[@MERMBRAMA]

Curb weight is 178kg.

[@MERMBRAMA]

​@@fcalin21put it on the side, then pick it up. Try to ride it. And then repeat the same with t7, touareg and company. You will be amazed, how much lighter this bike is.

[@BigBert]

Wow mate what an adventure, the bike looks like most other adventure bikes which I think all look great (but that’s my opinion) guessing you can’t get with bigger capacity engine? To be honest with you I had not heard of them until you mentioned them one of your other videos or instagram posts.

[@BikerTorque]

Hey Big Bert, yes the trip was great. It’s been actually pretty hard to get any info on them other than what James from Intrepid supplied. It would be interesting to see how they go in an Aussie freeway, but I imagine it would be just fine and being light weight it would be heaps of fun in the dirt.

[@WillemLuntungan]

Thank you

[@BikerTorque]

You are welcome

[@mariokampes2084]

Hi mate, is there any rental that provides this bike in Bali?

[@BikerTorque]

Not really sure. Best to check with the guys from Intrepid Moto Bali, they should be able to point you in the right direction.

[@hachewie]

Is the "made in Indonesia" an issue?

[@BikerTorque]

Honestly I don’t think so. The bike seemed very solid.

[@Muantabbb]

pakai mesin cb500x?

[@BikerTorque]

I believe so

[@Khanzaandfamily]

Mesin mirip cbx500

[@BikerTorque]

Very much so

[@hachewie]

What an awesome trip. Jealous.

[@BikerTorque]

It was mate. Beautiful country and people as long as you stay away from Kuta and Legian.

[@hachewie]

Is there such thing as a bad bike for a Nasi Goreng Run?

[@BikerTorque]

Nope.

[@BikerTorque]

Enjoy the ride tomorrow big fella. Wish I was tagging along.

[@hachewie]

@@BikerTorque Thanks mate. Can't wait.

[@upnorthrider]

What a cool trip, hmm I’d like to take one of these bikes for a burn, I reckon it’d be a lot of fun 😎

[@BikerTorque]

Let me know if you get your hands on one, I haven’t been able to track down any dealers in Australia, yet, surely it’s only time.

[@f.t.w1066]

H.D… Forever…😉

[@BikerTorque]

Ahh ok

[@Lakisleon]

The engine is made by Chinese Loncin.

[@BikerTorque]

But based on the Honda CB500X?

[@Lakisleon]

@@BikerTorque Nobody admits it, but the design looks very similar

[@MERMBRAMA]

​@@Lakisleonwell, they are not allowed to admit😂. Great engine.

[@perimund]

​@BikerTorque based on old outrun model of honda.500 engine 98-2003 Not directly related with 500x 2013--》
