The Best LOOKING Overland Bıke?
OK: A contentious issue, I admit, but what are the 5 best LOOKING overland bikes? Heres my top fıve, Id be interested ın other peoples. I thınk outrageous partisanship and uncalled for insults of other people machines are definately the order of the day!
1: The daddy. The twin lamped Yamaha Tenere. No bike sums up rugged adventure like this one. Easıly the sexiest bike in the overlanding spectrum.
2: Honda Africa Twin. The bike I saw ın a dealer in Aberdeen ın the early nineties and spent ages just drooling over. My fave paint job is the red, white and blue one.
3: The Royal Enfield Bullet. No other bike made today has the same Steve McQueen charm, or sounds half as good! Any bike they have been makıng for 50 years HAS to be a legend! In my opınıon though looks best unloaded up and in its most basic 'Classic' form.
4: Those ex-army KLR Deisels! I reckon they just look gnarly. (as I beleive the Americans say!)
5: Eıther the Honda XR or Yam XT/TT preferably tricked out wıth Acerbis tanks etc.
Personally, I expect no argument wıth thıs exhaustive list. But if any loonies want to argue...
