There are so many different kinds of motorcycles out there now, from pure motocross dirt bikes you can fling off ramps like Evel Knievel, to luxury long-distance moto-cruisers as comfortable as your living room couch. Each has a distinct and often narrow purpose, and most achieve that purpose with elan. But there is one category of bike that can do everything and do it well: the adventure bike.
On an ADV, as they’re called, you can cross the Kalahari as easily as you can cross town. Snap-on hard cases mean your fresh T-shirts and other gear stays dry and doesn’t get crushed if you’re crisscrossing the globe. Windshields on most ADV bikes make long days in the saddle not only bug-proof but bucolic. And the seats on which your keister rests are comfortable enough that you don’t need to stop every half hour to get the circulation back.
