I thought the same thing. Then again, if owners are like BMW GS riders, most of these bikes won't see much more than an occasional dirt road. Also, when it's time for new tires, owners will likely move to a street tire with off-road ability.

 

An Adventure bike with street-oriented tires becomes a corner-storming supermoto.

More fun than should be allowed.

 

 

I take it back...

That thing is going to weigh MORE than a GS.

🐷

 

I don't think it will

 

You think it will be plastic and aluminum?

 

I think hd did their homework and specifically sought out to make it lighter and more powerful than the gs which is the top dog of the adv world. They know they won't out perform the africa twin or ktm so I think they had their cross hairs directly on bmw

 

 

bad operator has nothing to do with it, if we are going to keep it in the gun realm it would be more like comparing a mg42 and a m60. One was reversed engineered from the other and came out 20 years later just a little better

 

Ok, fine... You win. 🙃

Edit: but for the record, I wasn't comparing the bikes, I was comparing the operator to Harley BOD. My guess is they'll miss horribly.

Edit^2: I must say your faith is commendable... You must be a religious man.
