Key Characteristics of Adventure Motorcycles

Adventure motorcycles are designed in a way that allows them to navigate a variety of places. They can hit the highway like a typical motorcycle. But they can also ride on dirt paths like an off-road motorcycle. Instead of buying two separate motorcycles for different riding experiences, you could just get one!

While different adventure motorcycles will offer different features, there are some key characteristics found on the different models.

For example:

  • High ground clearance for cruising over obstacles.
  • A larger frame size for improved stability, especially over bumpy terrain.
  • Plentiful storage space for bringing along supplies for longer rides.
  • Minimal bodywork and a streamlined design, which promotes easy maintenance and more time between needing to get the bike serviced.

About BMW® Adventure Motorcycles

The first adventure motorcycle was created by BMW. In 1980, the R80 G/S debuted. It saw such great success that other manufacturers started making their own versions.

Today, BMW makes a range of iconic adventure motorcycles. The current 2022 lineup is full of exciting options!

To start, there are eight adventure motorcycles as well as two special edition models. The prices range from $5,945 MSRP to $22,145 MSRP. If you want to stretch your budget further, you could get a used BMW adventure motorcycle from a previous year. Those models will be offered at lower price points due to the impact of depreciation.

BMW adventure motorcycles are well-known for their innovative features. The exact perks will depend on the given model, but they could include:

  • A 7.9 gallon tank with a maximum range of over 372 miles.
  • An engine protection bar paired with off-road tires, which make traversing difficult terrain easier.
  • An adjustable windshield to help reduce rider fatigue and make long-distance riding more comfortable.
  • Multi-level adjustable clutch and brake levels, which reduce the distance to the handlebars to help improve rider comfort.

In other words, BMW adventure motorcycles are built to impress!
