There's some dangerous heresy creeping into this thread. 250cc? 300cc?? Do beasts of these proportions really belong in GBRS ?

The Kawasaki Versys-X 300 Adventure motorcycle seems the business alright - lovely looking machine...!

It would make a fabulous all rounder I think. Has a decent 17 litre fuel tank capacity, 49bhp, parallel twin, 845mm seat height, 175kg weight.

I think that mini xt has a similar engine to the mt125 by the looks of it :)
And now, Harry, let us step out into the night and pursue that flighty temptress, adventure.

wOw that Sinnis Terrain 125cc Adv style machine is a lot of bang for little buck. £2500 new with side luggage as standard, 11bhp, 14 litre fuel tank capacity.

I see they're about to release a 380cc version parallel twin very soon also.

Thanks for the link/heads up Andi.

Ha ha ha, what a daft statement:
‘This is the only adventure bike you can ride with a cbt licence’
😂😂😂
However I do agree it’s a nice bike. Saw a version of it in Mallorca... gorgeous colour scheme
