Awesome video as always Nathan it's great to see such a varied selection of bikes, shame BM dropped those 650s from the range, I agree with what you said between the 800s n the 1200 manageability wise I had the 1200 first n then the 800 n thought that to with where the 1200 holds its weight. Stunning scenery down your way that's for sure :) those Mosko moto's looked great on the Himmy.
Great video Nathan, excellent variety of bikes .. particularly good to see the RE classics, the original simple go anywhere bikes for me. Really looking forward to the Devon Dakar next weekend. I'll be down on the Himalayan 🙂 .. keep that sun shining for us
Cracking video and interesting to hear your thoughts on the different bikes. What would your choice be between an older bmw f650 or an almost new Himalayan? Looking for a commuter/mini tourer for about £3.5k to sit alongside my RE classic 500 and both seem to fit my needs. Any input would be appreciated.
That's a good question. I did own a f650gs briefly and sold it after a short while as I just found it a bit too heavy, softly sprung and uninspiring. But they're a good solid bike with more grunt than a Himalayan so better for the motorway but not as manageble on the trails as the Himalayan. Personally I'd go newer Himalayan but if you can pick up a good cheap f650 then you can't go wrong
@@nathanthepostman thank you, really appreciate your opinion. The Himalayan was the way I was leaning before and you’ve just confirmed what I was thinking. Cheers 👍👍
I hate these marketing categories. And what on earth is having an adventure? I'll have the 790 Adventure. Even better, an R. They still do them for Asian markets which are not concerned with EU emissions nonsense. 4:48 dirty Crocs. What's he trodden in? The Harley seems out of place, but in a good way, and why not?
Bang on Nathan, an adventure bike is any bike you want
There needs to be a "Moto Guzzi" in the mix......😉
Cool! I get well jelly of the beach shots 😎
Great collection of bikes, just goes to show you can travel on just about any bike.
Ride what you have a.nd enjoy the adventures.
The best adventure bike is whatever bike's sitting in your garage.
I have a RE Bullet 350 and a Honda CG125. I also used to have a Honda Cub C70 EX3.

Clearly an adventure bike is any bike you can strap Crocs to 😉
"An adventure bike is the bike you've already got......" Saying that, something light & simple would be my choice.
Summed up perfectly
Just ride what you've got.
As long as you're riding does it really matter?
Happy travels ..

Many thanks for the video, all styles and permutations for travel.
Nice vid with the blue sky n'all. Very uplifting. Had to watch it twice :)
A diverse group of quality machines! Have a great ride! (Love that army green RE!!!)
Very nice selection of amazing bikes! Enjoy!!
Great stuff Nathan.
Nice video - Enjoy the Journey!
cool video 👍
Looks like fun !!!
Great selection
Any bike can travel
Cracking line up! You at Bideford Bike Show tomorrow?
Just shows that you don’t need cc’s or horse power to create a touring/adventure bike. 24 could be enough or even as low as 12 for a new Cub.
Hoping they will refresh the strom one day then I might spend some pennys.
Nathan, good video as always 👍
Can you tell me the maximum load for an Interceptor?
How many kg's rider/pillion and luggage can the handle ??
Cheers
I am coming down on my nice 2000 cb500

Can you had maps off the trips ? Thanks
You guys have more luggage than Nick Sanders had with Yamaha R1 around the world trip.On and off road.
He sleeps on his bike and wears the same clothes. He can travel light
