From 2018 after moving across continents, I have been without two wheels. Took me 5 years, but I am finally back to point where I can again start looking at the possibility of getting back on two wheels. However its not as simple as that. The market has changed quite a bit and there are options galore. Further compounding the dilemma is that I have not inkling what kind of a biker as a born again biker. But it is clear that its either an Adventure (ADV) or Sport Touring (ST) oriented motorcycle. To add more salt to the wounds of this confused soul, I have to contend with a vehicle that can be limited to meeting the A2 licence regulations.
After a whole lot of confusion, I have my final shortlist. Three made it to the ST shortlist and three to the ADV shortlist. They are the following -
ADV (in no order of priority)
Triumph Tiger 900 Rally Pro
Aprilia Tuareg 660
Yamaha Ténéré 700
Sport Touring (in no specific order of priority)
Triumph Tiger Sport 660
Yamaha Tracer 7 GT
Triumph Tiger 900 GT Pro
Next two decisions, 1. ADV or ST? 2. Which ADV/ST?
