In a followup to my last video, I've added a second ADV bike for my perfect 2bike garage. After riding the Harley Davidson Pan America this year both on and offroad, I decided I wanted to get a lighterweight adventure bike.

Initially, I had planned on replacing the Pan America, but it is such an amazing bike for a lot of what I do, I just couldn't see getting rid of it. The more I've been riding adventure, the less I've been riding street, so I traded the Aprilia Tuono 660 in on a Tuareg 660.

I evaluated my use case and needs against several lightweight and midweight adv bikes. My list included:

KTM 390 Adventure
BMW G 310 GS
Yamaha Tenere 700
Aprilia Tuareg 660
Ducati DesertX
Honda CB500x

I used a variety of metrics to compare the bikes:

Weight
Seat Height
HP/Torque
Ground Clearance
Front and Rear Suspension Travel
Tire Arrangement
Cost

In the end, the Aprilia Tuareg came out on top (for me), and I'm looking forward to getting out and exploring more offroad terrain.
