Anyone got a helpful opinion of one of these (http://www.betamotor.com/moto/trail/...ap40_main.html) as an adventure bike?

All IMHO:

+ points:
Nice smooth air cooled carb fed motor very similar to that of a DR350.

Low seat height.

Reasonable cycle parts.

Relatively light.

Capable off-tarmac.

Subjectively: looks the part and nice traditional styling (to me at least).

- points:

Big fuel tank available?

I guess long stretches of highway would be a drag.
