When ridden for what hey are Ollie yes, the R is more of a dirt road blaster I reckoned after
I rode it. Are you buying an adventure bike
Ollie?

TB

yeh I was considering it? but dont want to pay the 12+ big ones for the Tenere

Ollie

Yeah but a better mouse trap for adventure riding the Z. There is some good gear for the Rs as well. You would enjoy it I reckon it’s a great way to see stuff, hang out and find good tracks for your enduro bike :laugh: and ride more

The R could be setup to be a good adventure bike, lots are see ADV

Something that has been lost in this thread is that despite the bee bite, Kram and I had a great day and something as mates, we will remember for a long time.

All of this was done on two 22 year old NX650’s that cost less than $2000 each. They go like a beauty and are reliable. Cheap days out really.

Best fun I have had on a bike in a while. Money well spent. :laugh:

Yeah spot on Mick but I really don’t think it was lost mate As much as I enjoy my singles, I also enjoy Adventure style riding, motard riding, racing, trail riding, twin trails, a good dirt road, a twisty tar road anything on any bike
You will notice the people that hang shit on different types of riding normally haven’t even experienced it :laugh:

http://www.torpedo7.com.au/content/productpicks/division/motocross/dunlop_sale can get these tyres cheap here but from what bundyroy said they may not be that good just scroll up

I know Nickj was using them and was happy enough Rocket. He also fitted an S12 last time and reckoned it was better again, that said a S12 takes some beating in my opinion.

They sure are cheap enough

Try some and give your opinion mate

Hi Nickj

I’ve been reading your post with interest over the last couple of days and it dawned on me that the journey to buying an Adventure bike is not just a thrill for you as an owner its also other OBT’ers that enjoy your journey and provide you all the support you need as well.

I’ve been active on other forums but OBT is different and the care factor is priceless. Good luck in getting the bike setup and I hope that someday I’m able to share a ride with another Adventure rider that’s seen the light.

Sorry I’m in touch with the girlie side of me (for once) :blush: or is the the rum/coke I just guzzled.. :huh: … no comments please Boony. :silly:

Kat :S

You are spot on the money I reckon as well Kat
