ADV vs Dual Sport Bike: Which is Best for BDRs (and Other Multi-Day Riding and Motocamping Trips)?
If you’re dreaming of BDR runs but haven’t yet bought your first dual sport or ADV bike or you happen to be in the fortunate position of having multiple bike options to choose from OR you just love to discuss the pros and cons of various types of motorcycles, let’s talk dual sport vs ADV bike for BDR riding and other multi-day camping and riding trips. HUGE thanks to @MotoCampNerd for sponsoring this video and the channel. Check out the world's best selection of motorcycle camping gear at http://www.motocampnerd.com/?ref=dork A Dual Sport motorcycle is great on the tough off road sections but sucks on the highway. An ADV bike is great on the highway but can be more difficult to ride on tough off road sections. Trying to decide ADV bike vs dual sport for BDR runs can be difficult. It's important to do some research to determine how difficult the off road motorcycle riding is on your upcoming multi day motocamping and riding trip before deciding what kind of motorcycle to take on a BDR trip.
