This has probably been said already but in my opinion the adventure riders are bike enthusiasts whereas the backpacker is just giving it a go.

All 100% subjective but to me (coming from a backpacking background):
* backpacking = the freedom to go where you want and do what you want carrying everything you need on your back
*adventure motorcycling = the above but with everything you need strapped on and an engine to do the leg work
Both are going to mean hugely different things to different people. Backpacking - 2 day walk in the lake district staying in a pub overnight or 3 year trek round the world? Drinking nightly in a bar with your mates or learning the lingo with the locals?
Who cares, anyone doing either has  from me!
