Geoff here. Pioche KTM guy and the Multistrada. Hope all is well. Just got back home to Washington state. Hope all is well! I knew you’d love white rim!
Keep in touch. Safe travels to you!

Hi Trevor. Although I’ve not ridden ag bikes I’d not rate the CRF-L in this dinosaur category. While it may lack the utility aspects, most can be added and it comes with a modern engine, brakes and instruments (such as they are), efi and probably better suspension. As such it may be too tall for some but can be lowered. For the price it’s a better bike IMO. To save the agony, an ag bike is something I’d consider buying having flown in (to South Am, South Af, etc); the Honda I’d be happy to leave home on.
You are right, current adv bikes are all way too heavy for use in the real overland world; I suppose it must be down to build economics? I met a guy the other day who fell from his Tiger XC hereabouts after a long day’s ride and just couldn’t not pick it up. That’s not the end of the world but it’s certainly inconvenient in some places. No one want’s a ’127 Hours’ scenario…
I plan to do a full 3000-mile review of the Honda when it’s all done.

In my copy of AMH there is an article by Andy Gray ‘The Road Less Travelled’ – Farm bikes. Would you place the Honda in this category? or from your our experience is it a far better bike? In short, how capable would you describe the bike for long distance travels? Lot of questions here :). I personally consider the current crop of ‘Adventure bikes’ way too heavy.
