Got myself an Adventure Bike!

[thebikingengineer]

Just picked up a 2013 Husqvarna TR650 Terra! It's like the modern KLR that I've been searching for. I'm excited about where I'm going to take it. Anyone else have any off-the-beaten-track bikes they'd like to share? Any favorite trips? Packing tips?

nice! I am looking to sell my honda shadow and pick up something I think im leaning more towards a quad but anything off road is fun.

Great bike! I've been looking at the BMW GS1200 for quite awhile but just can't justify the money. I recently test rode the Suzuki VStrom 1000 and was impressed. Both of these are a little more road oriented but are competent for some off road use. If you want some inspiration (and some good information) read the book Ghost Rider by Neil Peart. It chronicles a 55,000 mile journey through North and South America on a BMW GS1200.

I have a Suzuki V-Strom 650 and enjoy it. There are some good online forums. One you might like that covers all the adventure bikes is advrider.com.

Looks sweet! Used to do a lot of dirt biking back in high school but never has anything like that

Those are pretty pricey, nice bikes though. My Husky is more road-oriented as well. From what I've heard it's pretty capable off-road (for an adventure bike), but as I found out on my ride yesterday I'm not yet at the level for any serious off-roading.

I'm on ADVrider, but it's so big that it's hard to find information. I'm on Cafe Husky as well, mostly for model-specific info.
