Since relocating from the SF Bay area I just don't ride enough to justify. When I lived in SF I rode up/down the peninsula ( skyline / santa cruz, hwy 1, hwy 9, etc). In between jobs I took this bike through Northern Northern California, Utah, Death Valley and back. With the 1149cc engine this bike produces enough torque to haul whatever amount of gear you want to pack the panniers with. The BMW 1150RT frame is stiff enough perform through the twisties with ease.

I will also offer pick up service from Reno (RNO) airport if you want to fly in and ride bike home. |

Tested: Metzeler Sportec M5 Interact
Mon, 15 Mar 2010With its clever Interact technology Metzeler has created a tyre that has a varying carcass construction to alter how the rubber performs. Without going too deeply the M5 consists of five bands of belting that vary in stiffness. At the outer edges of the tyre the carcass is quite flexible, allowing the rubber to move around and generate more heat and therefore grip, while nearer the tyre’s centre the carcass is stiffer, reducing the rubber’s movement and decreasing its wear.

Small Adventure Bike, Big Adventure Dreams
Thu, 15 Feb 2024The long-term KTM 390 ADV Project Photos by Joe Jackson If you’ve had a pulse the last five years or so, you’ve noticed the urge to take two wheels into the dirt has swept through the motorcycle community like a rogue wave. Riders across age ranges, experience levels and even financial demographics have turned to off-road, not instead of, but in addition to any and all riding they were previously doing. So it’s no surprise to see small-sized ADV bikes plodding along behind the surge like the sure-footed mules that they are.
