    Hey Yammie, young (22) adv squid here. The reason I picked a BMW 750gs "old man bike" was because I liked the seating position as opposed to any of the other kinds of bike. I am also not delusional and know the vast majority of my riding is pavement with the occasional unpaved road, so I knew it was more advantageous to get an ADV as opposed to a dual sport. I kinda hate to say it but I LOVE the bike. I drove it all the way from Birmingham, AL to Yellowstone National Park and back and never had an issue. Seat is comfy as hell and the windshield does a fantastic job.

      Another young (24) adv squid here. Got the 750gs a little while ago, but it's been great. Needed something that could carry all my climbing gear that was also comfortable for long road-trips and suitable for taking off-road. I've been on a few adventures with it, including through a bog on the side of a hill. My only real complaints are that the windshield is slightly too low for me and it has a thing for covering itself in dirt (seriously, it throws it everywhere). Never understood why people call it an 'old mans bike', wonder if that's spillover from the previous generation of GS.

    You called me out on the ADV squid. I thought I was legit the only one. I started out with a sport bike background, then I became a supermoto bro, evolved to a naked bike hooligan, and ended up combining the attributes of all those bikes and became an ADV squid.

He promised to show us some more tracks on his spare bike. On the way back I wondered how dilapidated his stand by bike will look. Will it even start. I thought this old man was going to waste our precious riding time. But then I struggled to keep up with him. At his bungalow he promptly produced a shiny Honda CR450F.

A Multistrada (with just a modest amount of hi-viz and reflectorized tape) also in the garage for the big asphalt tours (in my case think states rather than coffee shops). Heading to Death Valley as soon as the lodgings are open (tent camping later...maybe). Mods on the KTM are mostly on the performance side or the ones that make it more likely I won't get stuck somewhere. But yeah, there are many features I completely understand but just don't care about, and I no longer need a louder exhaust (on these two at least; I succumbed for one on my Moto Guzzi V7). Now just waiting to get my hands on a CT125.

    As an ADV bike rider, I really don’t know much of the types you describe, although some elements of some types are out there (there are a few hard-core-ish folks for sure). I think many of us are practical riders that just seek out slightly off-road trips, but I wouldn’t look for a swamp or cliff to drop off into. Brett Tkacs has some videos on skill rating for adv riders. I would guess that most (other than pure street riders) adv riders hang in the avg/moderate skill level and ride all over the place. I was hoping for an honest and real snapshot of adv riders, but just cannot relate to most of this video. Especially the KTM folks...those 1x90 adventure bike riders do some impressive stuff. I’d like to see more off-road Multistrada riders, but they are the real unicorns.
