The "Unicorn" ADV Bike is TWO Bikes

EVERY TIME a new ADV bike is announced, one of the most common questions you’ll see and hear people asking is “IS IT THE UNICORN?!?!?” “The Unicorn” is the theoretical perfect ADV bike: one that can cruise comfortably all day on the pavement but still absolutely destroy the toughest off road terrain when you leave it. This ideal bike somehow possesses the on-road comfort and features of a big GS along while still being lightweight and nimble enough to take on gnarly trails like a 500 EXC-F. Adventure bike riding and dual sport riding contain a wide variety of off road motorcycle riding situations terrains and the ideal or unicorn ADV bike would need to be able to tackle all of them well. The best ADV motorcycle is always going to be more difficult on hard off road trails just like the best dual sport motorcycle is always going to be less comfortable when you hit the pavement. So if you want the best ADV bike money can buy...well you're going to need to spend twice as much. The unicorn adventure motorcycle exists, it's just two bikes.
