    That is gold fellas! Venturing where few dirt bikes would and on 1200's no less! Truly an inspiration to the rest of us when despite the challenges you still come up smiling!
    Thanks boys!!

    I love sport bikes but damn adventure bikes are winning me over. I wish I could afford one.

      douglas jeffers You buy an adv bike that suits you and you won't wipe the smile off you face. It's relatively inexpensive to get into the sport. You can start with a very capable Suzuki DR650.

    The guys on the ADVs have the balls of steel to not turn around when they saw the trail at 1:45
    That's hard even on an enduro bike. Respect!

    Oh boy did I enjoy that video a lot.
    Thanks for that.
    You guys are not afraid of a little break-it-then-mend-it, I guess.
    I have a 2012 V-Strom 650, which is called an adventure bike, but it's really only a name and I would never dream of trying that course on it.
    Really enjoyed your video though.
    I'd like to try something like that, but on a 250cc off-road bike first for a week or..... six weeks, and then perhaps a 600/700 adventure bike.
    Thanks.

    3:00 - Between a rock and a hard place! Man, those big bikes are a hand full on those rough trails. If I had a BMW, I think I'd stick with the Latte and avoid those particular trails. Maybe something a little more "rim friendly". Great footage!

      It really is great and gives me 500 plus ks range. The 690 engine is ideal as an adventure bike. You can see how I can throw it around and then at the end of the day cruise down the highway at 120 ks plus.

    Where is this track? I'm looking at getting an Adventure bike soon and was wondering what the popular routes are for adventure riders. I ride past Kulnura to head to Wollombi & The Putty at least once a month and had no idea there were dirt tracks around that area, other than the unsealed road that leads to St Albans.
