Adventure bikes form a large sector of the bike market. This sector is sub-divided into smaller categories - 1 of which is overlanding.
Neither of these bikes fall into that category so, at this time, they are not for me.
However, thanks for bringing them to my attention. If I win the lottery I will be looking to fill a large garage with lots of bikes. I once rode a friend’s Buell and thought it was amazing so will definitely check out the adventure tourer

Yes, me too with the old school Buells. I could easily have gone over to the dark side with one of those - even if they were the most unreliable bikes ever produced since they stopped using steam engines.

It's marketing, or complete b*****ks as real people call it.
They aren't going to call them "Huge Touring Bikes with willy waving statistics and a list of accessories that'll get you well into the second mocho choco latte without anyone asking why its only done 700 miles in 18 months" bikes are they.
The whole point of "categories" is so punters can convince themselves that if only they had a new Sport-Adventure-Tourer instead of their old Adventure-Retro Touring -Sports they'll finally get over 100 VLOG views. Mostly just graphics and different OE tyres.
The rendering of the Buell looks curiously like the Toasty Toaster Harley-Davidson, which doesn't strike me as something either company would want.
Wait for the spec sheet, it'll probably be a fun bike on certain roads/race tracks.

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.
