£1500 adventure bike challenge - part 1

Isn't U-Tube a fantastic way of wasting time at work...unfortunately with the sound turned down, can't tell how much boll@x they're talking.


"In the latest MCN Challenge we're going to prove that you don't have to spend a fortune to get your hands on a great adventure bike. With a £1500 budget burning a hole in their pockets, MCN's road testers have scoured MCN Bikes For Sale and found three (slightly questionable) examples".

They are not doing the proper Paris Dakar route though. It is from somewhere up North with a name like Dakar to somewhere in Essex I think that has Paris in its name. A bit of an anti climax.
The AT is a bit knackered
The Super Ten looks to be in good nick.
The Dr Big just looks like a shed.
