The first bike I can recall with something like "adventure' as a model name was the Triumph TR5T Adventurer, also sold as the Trophy Trail.
It had a 500cc single carb twin pot engine and used the rolling chassis of the BSA Victor Trail single.
There was no associated marketing hype, but I always liked the look of it...apart form the silencer
Good then, good now

I class myself as an adventure bike rider quite simply because I want to and don't give a toss whether other people agree or disagree.

It all revolves around the difference between the thread title and the word people keep inserting into that title......
It must be an unconscious process..... (Y)

Have just seen the weather forecast.
I am definitely not going to be an Adventure Rider this weekend.
Bet the forum is busy on Sunday....
