Anyone running a motorcycle setup for backcountry trips?

[Shane Limbeck]

Some places are better reached on two wheels. Dirt, gravel, or mountain passes that beat up a truck but call to a bike.

Who’s running a motorcycle setup for the backcountry? Let’s see your rig, your loadout, and how you make it work when the pavement ends.

Currently have a DRZ and Royal Enfield Himalayan. The DRZ is a bit sportier for the more fun riding, while the Himalayan packs the gear and is very comfortable for extended rides. Pics to follow.

I’ve been riding dirty bikes all my life. Currently, I’m into ADV bikes the last few years. I’ve got a Triumph Tiger 900 Rally Pro that is the best I’ve ridden yet. BMW, Ducati, Yamaha are all good dang bikes but this triple motor is so smooth. Like Goldilocks and the 3 Bears, this one is just right. I’m headed to do the SEBDR soon and then head out west again to Colorado and Montana in the spring. Ride More!

Wife found me this '04 true ADV this summer. Somebody threw high end bolt ons at it, put 11K miles on it and parked it; StainTune, Jesse bags, just completing the full services on it. Insane value; before she even showed me the advert she said: If this is accurate, you HAVE TO buy it. Not a big fan of the servo-assist systems but it has the ABS-Off button, among other things, relatively analog big twin.
