Adventure Bike Rider Forum

out today stopped for a brew . got talking to a bloke on a gs . after a while he told me that my tiger 800 xcx was not an adventure bike because adventure bikes are single or twin cylinder bikes and anything else is a pure road bike . iv got almost anywhere i wanted on the tiger but what's your thoughts

The GS guy is a dick

Your bike is an adventure bike.

The GS guy is a dick.....as already stated above.

well i did think wanker .but always try to be nice and took his comment with a pinch of salt . but got me thinking that some folks must have a fixed opinion in mind as to what makes an adventure bike . funny enough looking at his gs it was gleaming and polished to death .looked like it had never got more off road than asda car park . for me its a bike you can chuck a load of gear on the back and bugger of away from the rat race not get fussed about it looking a bit battered and lived in .a bit like me but whats you opinion of a proper adventure bike

Any bike is an adventure bike.its the adventure you have on the the bike that's the adventure.It's clearly a name.and I bet the gs rider has never strayed from any well paved road with his (ADVENTURE) tyres

The adventure is the ride not the bike.

its your own fault for talking to a bmw owner,

dave,

Now I’m hurt....

Did you soak him when you spat your coffee out laughing?

A GSXR 1000 is a proper adventure bike. IF he doesn't believe you point him in the direction of TeapotOne.
