Rieju Aventura 500 Legend
And also something special presented at EICMA:

https://www.advrider.com/rieju-aventura-500-legend/

Finally an adventure bike with a decent tank range at a whopping 39 liters of fuel which should easily give a range of 1000 kms. Otherwise the engine seems to be a clone of the Honda CB500 engine made by chinese Loncin.

It'll be interesting to see how it goes, some of their bikes are very overpriced and we had some problems getting support (to the point where I was contemplating just riding to the factory and asking them direct what the holdup was!) however they do make stuff that's different to everyone else so if it fills a niche it might be worth putting up with the shortcomings!

Seems like a perfect overland bike. Only thing i'd worry about is spare parts availability.

If it is a Honda cb500x engine, the engine spareparts should be no problem

Probably the first bike ever who will be prone to break down before you have emptied the first tank of gas……

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
