I'll be able to let you know how capable the Adv feels in March hopefully, as I've just put down an deposit on one  |
Yes, you are right, the 790 Adventure looks a far better bike for travellers. The more I look, the more impressed I am. 15,000km service interval is brilliant, a wide variety of accessories and luggage. If I was in the market for a mid-weight travel bike it would probably be a toss up between this and the BMW 850 (which has tubeless spoked wheels).
Hope it lives up to your expectations
