Personally I would get an air cooled, carbureted dual sport with drum brakes and a kickstart and maybe also a big rally tank. The reason why I would choose an air cooled bike with drum breaks is because I wouldn’t have to worry about finding coolant and break fluid. I would want a very simple reliable bike.

In a true apocalyptic scenario, a bicycle would be best tbh. No fuel, quiet, easy to fix/find parts for, cargo options are limited by your imagination. Prove me wrong.

[@gur262]

I wonder how light and effective a solar panel can get. Depending on how much you wanna carry, a model with a big but long slim box in front could be good. A cargo bike. You quickly throw stuff in there and ride on. ... A solar panel working like a roof .. An efficient e_motor you load that way and downhill and by your own effort that helps you sprint away even up hills when necessary. That could be really cool.

[@marcofelipelopes3081]

[@shooter963]

@@marcofelipelopes3081 - Depends on your pace. If you're riding cautiously, you'll burn about the same as walking, but cover more distance. Another plus of a bicycle, is to use it as a cargo porter as the NVA did in the '60s. You can load up a bike with more baggage and crap than you can ride with, then walk along next to it and simply keep it balanced.

I've been a ( prepper ) almost my whole life. Last year I got my first motorcycle ( always keeping disaster preparedness in mind) I got a Honda cb500x. It looks cool and I can go off road. Also it's my first bike I didn't want anything crazy fast. And I can carry a ton of gear on it.

[@BillyJoe1305]

The old Honda Rebel, with 80/20 dual sport tires. Hear me out: it's comfortable to drive for hours, you can swap parts across all of the years, it's an air cooled single thumper, and it's chain drive. Why chain drive and not shaft? The shaft is definitely less likely to break, but a couple of master links will fix a broken chain. Break a shaft taking your cruiser off road and you're fucked. Even if you can find a new one replacements aren't easy.

[@holmiumh]

Old Rebel has two cylinders.

[@papatorr3669]

I've been riding since '75, and ride everything I can. Rode a two cylinder Honda Rebel 250 in 1985: possibly the most uncomfortable bike I've ever ridden. Annoying vibration through the handlebars.

The fact no one mentions DR650 is sad, bike is by far the best all around apocalypse bike, can do long distance, not as good as the KLR, but certainly much better offroad and the engine is no where near as anaemic while still being indestructible.

There’s nothing that compares to the Dr650 or Xr650…. That’s coming from a guy whose garage glows blue.

[@KeepItSimpleSailor]

Keep in mind, fuel availability and lifespan would be limiting factors. Syphoning/draining will work for a while to source fuel. But stored and stabilised fuel would be the only way to keep fuel supplied in the longer term (up to 2 years). Which means you are based somewhere and using the bike for supply runs, hunting/fishing trips, maybe staying in touch with community nearby. Light, quick, nimble, preferably quiet, reasonable range, load carrying (eg hunted meat), and multi use all become considerations. Quad bikes would be great short distance work horses. Trials bikes and dual sports great for recon and maybe hunting. Dual sports would make a lot of sense most times. Adv bikes would be good as ‘Get Out Of Dodge’ bikes. Bicycles have benefits especially regarding noise, but even with a trailer you can’t carry very much. In a long term shtf all of us are eventually walking or riding horses. And roads would be potentially dangerous. Excuse my waffling on 🙂

A 70’s Honda XL125-175 is perfect. 6v charging system reliant on a stator, and no other electronics which may be affected be an electromagnetic pulse. Small, single cylinder, lightweight dual sport motorcycles that don’t need a battery to operate. Kickstart only, and the magneto puts out enough juice to power headlight and tail light. Small tank, but nothing a rear rack with a backup tank cant fix. Not to mention, there is nothing more reliable or easy to work on than a carbureted, air cooled, single cylinder vintage Honda. Not like I have one for a bugout bike or anything 😂😅

[@hawaiiangunner]

As a prepper the most important things I'm going to be looking at is how much Electronics is on the bike. If there's a EMP or A CME all the electronics are done. Next is how quiet is the motorcycle. It needs to be as quiet as possible. Availability of parts to be found after Society shuts down. Next how hard is it going to be for me to retrofit this motorcycle with racks so I can carry extra gas in cans.

Drz400s. Dual sport that can accept a passenger or a bunch of cargo due to the passenger sub frame. User end maintainable due to the archaic carburetor. Large enough engine to get on the highway or out of the way of danger quick as opposed to a 250. Light enough to dirt ride. Rally tanks are available for the extra mileage.

I'd go with the new Yamaha Ténéré 700. It's a lightweight adventure bike that is properly set up for decent off road, while being well behaved on street for longer journeys. It's a bike that has the size to fit a decent amount of gear and luggage and whatever you want to bring with you - whereas a dedicated dual sport might not have room for much more than the rider and just a few small bags. The T700 is also a gem of a bike because it has great components, but it's not a victim of over-electronification, and can be mended easily. It also sits on a properly tested platform of the MT-07 and has one of the most widely tested engines known to man, and swapping mechanical parts from an abandoned MT-07 or XSR700 will be a straight job with no hassle. It's a bike that ticks every important box I can think of, and I don't think I would want any bike over the Ténéré 700.

Just picked up this video. I’m from the prepping community but new to bikes. I’ve been digging up information on a “sustainment bike” for our homestead.

One factor to think about is parts availability. Not just parts in stores but other bikes that might be laying around during an apocalypse. Maybe a cruiser of some sort that is a very popular platform *cough* Harley *cough* Lol Also the Klr 650 is a very reliable bike and was made for decades and has options for paniers and racks

[@RoosterGunther]

I agree with Dani Syx... KLR 650 is the jack knife of motorcycles but put on a Lectron carb and some baggage. On / off road capable, better on the high way than a dirt bike, better on dirt that a heavier adventure bike and basically indestructible.

V strom 650. Ultra reliable. Comfortable . Good luggage option and reasonably quick. No one ever seems to pick the Suzuki vstrom as a solid adventure bike it’s alway bmw and Kim

[@crossplanetriple]

I was going to say Africa Twin, but it's expensive and heavy. Yamaha Tenere, not the Super Tenere, but the newer model year, 2021. CP2 engine, 14 L fuel tank, 450 lbs wet with knobby tires. Slap on an ADV hard top case and you're off to the races. 🏍️

Smaller tank (14 vs 16) ? It's already is 450lb is that supposed to be light?

A really lightweight bike that sips fuel would be ideal, a 125 learner bike + an extra fuel tank and you could probably go 500 - 600 miles without stopping for fuel!

A bicycle is the best apocalypse vehicle because it is generally faster and less stress than walking; requires much less maintenance than a motorized vehicle; requires no food or water like a horse, camel, donkey; helps keep the operator in decent cardio shape; can be modified to carry luggage similar to a motorcycle; can be modified to tow a light trailer as well (have seen a guy towing a canoe behind a bicycle)

[@wranglercody8422]

Klr650 for the win. Unkillable, simple, good for long distance, can haul lots of stuff and kinda light weight.

[@walkerfamilyoverlandingpho4826]

[@wranglercody8422]

@@walkerfamilyoverlandingpho4826 kinda lightweight. It’s way lighter and more maneuverable than most if not all other adv bikes.

Lucky for me I bought an Xr400r this week

[@CurtisDrew1]

I added a kickstarter to my 06 KLR and put a big IMS tank on it. After a lot of years of use the plastic has relaxed a little and it takes a full 7 gallons to fill it up from empty. I built some panniers for it and even built a Kolpin 1.5 gallon Fuel Can with carrier attached behind the left pannier. So that's a thearetical 425 miles between gas stops. With the crashbars and a lot of other custom mods it make s great TEOTWAWKI machine, but it is a little heavy. (Lucky for me I'm a big guy. 6'2" 225 lbs) I've done 6 week rides through all the big off road trails on it in the US. Plus I know this carbed engine inside and out. My tool role has been perfected to where I can keep it running no matter what. Best advice for the worst that can happen, is know how to fix your machine, even with bailing wire and duct tape if you need to. I also have a 10 year olf Super Tenere and like riding it when I need to get across the slabs fast, but the KLR gives me an honest 50 mpg and will run 75 MPH all day. And is actually the most comfortable bike I own, because I've got the seat tuned to me. It is my opinion that any Dual sport between 400 to 650 cc;s will be good enough, if outiftted out well before hand. But then again, there have been some really nice Adventure Rides posted up on KZbin on little bikes under 125cc's. Being able to toss a small ride into the bushes to hide, has some merits in a dangerous world where being able to dodge, duck and weave have their advantages.

[@thomasnelson100]

If I had to pick a bike I’d probably pick a Klr650 or Africa twin. If any vehicle then a Jeep or a large off-road cable sub

[@BigMan-jk8lz]

I would choose a wr250 because my dad has one and he has a couple of soft bags and mounts for them on either side of the bike and he has an excess fuel storage. The bike is also very fast, reliable, and pretty much indestructible. The seat is also decently comfortable for what it is. He also a has a gs1200 so that could be a good bike too. He has bags and hippo hands and everything for the gs so it could go forever. My yz85 would suck for the apocalypse bike!😂

[@archmadnessdr6504]

Dr650 for sure also any 250 dirt bike in central United states cause easy to find them

I think a Triumph Street Scrambler would be good. It can handle dirt roads almost as well as paved, great gas mileage, very nimble, and they are very customizable
