Zubb 1061 Posted April 4, 2023 Everyone tends to have their own ideas about what makes a good bike. Our perceptions about what's the right machine for "us" are extremely individualized and almost always shaped by our enthusiasm for a brand, a slogan, a personality, style, etc. I loved this video. Yes, it shows a lot of fast, capable riding on the type of trails that I gravitate to. But Arie talks a bit about the capabilities of the bike and what it offers. He makes some great comments at around 24 mins in, and also at the closing ceremony. No glorification of the brand. No whining about weight or suspension or <insert complaint here>. Just 5 awesome days wailing on a great machine and enjoying the camaraderie on the trail and terrain. Good stuff. Enjoy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
robertaccio 406 Posted April 4, 2023 AR (Adam Riemann) is always cool. And quite skilled as well. His Motology series viddies are great. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

padu 322 Posted April 5, 2023 To be fair, he would probably be able to ride a Hayabusa on those trails "it's not the tool, it's the carpenter" 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However the point being the bike is 100% capable of being ridden aggressively on ADV bike trails. It’s what you want it to be. It clearly impressed Adam. And he’s quite the skilled rider.

I took my GSXR 1000 off-road a couple times and it was tough. One of the times I had a girl on the back and she was like a backpack, I remember thinking "is this chick even sitting on the seat" 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But a friend of mine saw this bike get pulled down, started up and rode out like it was nothing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
