MV had a fun one where the bike would collect telemetry you could view once you paired it with the cell phone companion app. Forever. Until it filled up the storage. And bricked the ECU.

Scramblers should be basically fine for reliability, the engine is an old design. The real risk is drops will be expensive and 'light offroad' doesn't mean you wont necessarily take a rock to a case or something else that would be a lovely repair on such a bike. Honestly you liked the Himalayan which is a heavy, wallowy, fat slow unreliable pig of a bike so you have a TON of options for fat heavy slow pigs that are cheap and reilable any Suzuki DR or Kawasaki DR knock off, V-strom, honda XR L piggies, etc and the like If you want modern and scrambly' Yamaha makes one very similar to the Ducati - I forget the moniker but it uses the triple engines that are bulletproof. Find a hearty skid plate and go bananas. Also it'll run for 100k miles without you ever having to think about it. Edit: I was thinking about the XSR and apparently they dont have a light-ADV version that I thought they did. Must have dreamt' it. Sorry.

Yeah maybe I conflated that bike with the XSR and thought there was a triple-scrambler I only lust after dad-bikes and track-bikes these days so HMU thread if you wanna talk about 10 year old superbikes and how to crash them or 21K+ bikes with too many farkles and features. Otherwise I'm straight useless.

What kind of a budget do you think you'll have? Are you looking at new only (financing) or a stack of cash? There are a lot of bikes that I think fit into that category well but knowing what you are looking to spend is probably the bets way to start swinging in the right direction. A DR (or any big thumper) is going to tick MOST of those boxes maybe with the exception of 2 up highway cruising comfort. Big pluses in the 'ride it on semi-serious off road' a few times a year and fire road manners. Great, simple commuters who are basically incapable of leaving you stranded. If you want more two up comfort and freeway manners I'd be thinking bikes like... Kawi Verseys V-strom BMW p-twin ADVers Africa twin Triumph XC All of these can be had new for not too much money or used going back as far as a decade for 'cheap' so should span any budget you have in mind. Those middle weight ADV bikes are great all' rounders. I don't know if you were drawn to the Scrambler and the Himalaya because of low inseam height but lowering is always an option. If you like that more classic look and Scrambler feel someone else may know that market better than I do. FlerpNerpin fucked around with this message at 19:51 on Sep 12, 2019 |

I'd say the primary separator between nearly all those bikes in light off-road / bad roads is tires. They all have roughly the same clearance and ability to clear mud out of the fenders (poor to OK). ADV bikes where you want to ride mostly pavement are all compromise anyway. The larger front wheels (19"+) are going to handle off road better and have chunkier options than 17" tires but the options have come a long way. A pair of Avon Distanzias and a cool head will get you through just about any road that you wouldn't call a dirt bike trail. I think find the bike that interests you the most with the engine configuration / style / price you are happy with and then work your way towards better off-road manners with tires and maybe some crash protection. The rest is mostly in the wrist and between the ears

I don't know that I'd say a SV650 is going to get blown around more so than any other bike. After probably a combined 25k miles on SV's I'd say they are perfect for commuting of just about any sort.
