We all know this for a fact, and it doesn’t really have to be said, but the middleweight ADV segment is on absolute fire lately. Quite literally every motorcycle manufacturer out there has an off-road-capable adventure bike somewhere in the 650cc to 900cc segment, and it’s absolutely bonkers.
In no other time in history have we seen so many mid-sized ADV offerings, most of which boasting well-balanced platforms, and even better yet, priced in such a way that they won’t cost you an arm and a leg.
Naturally, this all started with bikes like the Yamaha Tenere 700 and KTM 790 Adventure R, but now, the influx of new adventure bikes is nothing short of dizzying, and the new additions from all these new Chinese manufacturers doesn’t really make things easier for prospective buyers.
