Maybe we all have a different idea of what an adventure is, so different ideas of what an adventure bike is? A kid up the road goes all over the UK for weeks at a time on a Chinese 125 scooter with a few bits crammed under the seat - but on paper that ain't no adventure bike I rode some TET in Portu...
