Wrong, wrong, wrong and wrong.
Edit, 'if you have what you consider an adventure while you are riding it, it's one'.

For gods' sake, the rest of the world hates motorcyclists as it is, let's at least try to be a bit more empathetic amongst ourselves and accept that not everyone has to comply with our personal norms and standards without being denigrated.

No, no..

Only if the marketing department declares it as an "adventure bike" and sells it as one, it's one.
What would the biking community be if EVERYBODY could decide this for themself.

Its like birthday cake.

You can eat it on any day.

If it says Happy Birthday on the icing someone possibly designed it for someone's birthday but may never have seen that person or have a clue about how old they are, what they like..... etc.

If you have a party because you survived another circuit round the sun and eat any cake, that was Birthday cake, icing doesn't matter, have cheese instead if you like that.

The fact the cake says Happy Birthday in the icing does not make you a year older regardless of what the cake shop suggests. If you like iced cake, candles and singing every Wednesday, knock yourself out but don't ask me to watch the video.

I think we need to make a bit of a distinction here by what we mean by "adventure" because we're talking about different contexts.

You can have an adventure on an "adventure" bike, or a Gold Wing, or a Super Cub. What we generally think of as an adventure is the road less travelled, relying on our selves and our bike and the kindness of strangers. There's no law that says you can't do this all on tarmac, all off road, or any combination of the two.

However, different bikes are suitable for different things, an effortless cruiser will be unwieldy on unpaved roads, a nippy city bike will be out of its depth on long highways and an enduro blaster will be a PITA everywhere but the forests and deserts. There's a market sector that has been called "adventure bikes" because they possess abilities to be usable on and off road, maybe not as well as a specialist machine in either area, but enabling more flexibility on a long trip where you expect to do both.

So go, have an adventure. That's what it's all about after all. Ride what you like, and if it's an "adventure" bike all it says about you is you're anticipating a particular type of journey :)

being shot down by missile is definitely and adventure, you just earned a badge :thumbup1: wish somebody shot my bike down by a missile it would make my day :Beach:

p.s.
nothing wrong with using word "adventure", it's a word like any other but it was overused by BMW sell department for sure.
