Totally agree.... You don't need the latest kit or bike to have an adventure just the right positive mental attitude (thumbs)

Thanks for posting, nice tale and goes to show that a 'proper' adventure bike is the one you actually have an adventure on.

As we all really know, spending thousands on the next must have as it: turns in more quickly/is more stable at three figure speeds/nine levels traction control instead of only three/has a more powerful alternator for more heated kit, sat nav & LED lights/ makes more power than last years model/ is a better colour (delete as applicable :whistle: ) is very little to do with a bike being more suitable for 'an adventure'.

For me, no way would a 150cc be big enough, I would need at least 200cc - ooer, there I go already :P

Only had a chance to peruse the first few paragraphs and will read it more later but I must say.....my small Chinese bike was amazing. Easily enough bike to have an adventure on.
. I look forward to reading the rest :)
