If I had a dime for everytime I heard "Why doesn't someone make the perfect adventure bike"....
Because really; very few people need, want or would buy one.
What percentage of bikers are needing a perfect Overlanding bike capable of all conditions ?
I would hazard a guess that only 10% of Overland riders seek out unpaved roads. It's generally more a question of "If the road runs out, how best can I prepare my road bike to cope"
For Morocco. I'm very much torn over my XRV750 Africa Twin or a much smaller and lighter XT600E or DRZ400S
The Africa twin is definately preferable for the long ride down and the road sections. But it's going to limit where I venture because of it's size.
The smaller bikes will allow to to explore the backroads with more confidence. But make every other road tiring and slow.
I'm sure I'll have a great time whichever bike I chose. It will just be different. Perhaps the best option would be to ride the Africa Twin down and maybe hire a dirt bike and take a tour over the dunes.
