Top 10 Middleweight Adventure Bikes For 2024! 

Shows you how ridiculous bikes have become when 900cc is described as a middleweight......

Don’t waste 16 minutes of your time

Aprilia Tuareg not good enough to make your top 10??? Hmmm 🤔

Aprilia Tuareg not fancy enough? It won the Africa Eco race this year (ahead of the T7, racing the original Dakar race route, w/ no mechanicals, T7 had two). Seems the Tuareg is just the black sheep, i.e. not Japanese or Austrian enough. So tired of it not being part of the discussion.

RE is a real gem.. Trust me❤️.. It ticks all the boxes..❤️🔥

Triumph for build quality and a non-nosebleed seat height with top notch suspension

I'm actually shocked, the Aprilia Tuareg 660 isn't in the top 10? You seriously dropped that overweight & bloated CFMoto in though?! Wakey-wakey...

Aprilia Tuareg ???😮😮😮 this far down the list? it's a great bike but for me it's missing in the top four 😢😢

A middleweight adv ranking without the Aprilia Tuareg 660 but at the same time featuring models of over 800cc and the Himalayan which is lightweight, is just laughable. C'mon, get serious!

yamaha tenere, everywhere and especially on the way back

Himalayan may be value for money but top of the list 😂. In terms of quality and reliability, i doubt it even qualifies to be in top 15. Please add it only once u have ridden it atleast for few thousand miles, thats when it will start showing its true quality levels. I hope this wasnt the case, but it is what it is.

Love my Norden!

1- DR 650 SE 2- KOVE 450 RALLY 3- AJP PR7 for me this is middleweight.

Where is the Aprilia Tuareg ?

How can I get a used v-strom 650cc at a reasonable price?

I like to tour Europe but a woeful service interval for someone with no maintenance skills rules out RE for me. I do own a 2023 Himalayan but used my bmw/triumphs for tours of typically 6000 miles down to Turkey and back

Royal Enfield Himalayan is a good motorcycle in budget

Are the weights for the bikes wet or dry?

Sorry didn't know this was a satire channel!

This video is ridiculous, just advertising really and summation of each bike specs.There are no criteria listed for ranking, what makes one bike better than another? How is each category weighted? Etc etc.. this is just an arbitrary list of personal preference with no background as to why.... Just plain silly

No Aprilia Tuareg on the list??

Surprised to find the Himalayan at the top of this list ... for someone from India 😂 much love ❤

Royal enfield himalya not available in pakistan is Cfmoto mt450 a good alternative ?

Silly ranking. Tuareg missing and Tenere should be at the top

2024 CFMOTO 450MT IS THE GAME CHANGER....

No ‘24 Ktm 790 for 11k? Kove 450?

Excellent video, top class production, id more the T7 to position 3, as it’s one of the best in class for off-roading.

How much did hymalaian pay you?

I don't think the Himalayan 450 should be no 1, but it's definitely a top 5. Also, KTM needs to stop this addon pack BS and just add it to the full price. Using the tech demo as carrot dangling isn't cool. Just make it standard and up the price.

Wow😂

I guess pricewise its on top. However I think for those who alrrdy drive 600cc+, i think 450 cc would just not be fun.

For me the Himalayan 450 is the best 👌 😊

With respect, Aprilia is much better than many on your list.

Benelli TRK 702x

Tenere over a Tuareg? No V85TT?

Aprilla? Royal enfild 450? Look cf moto 450 win

can people stop calling 200kg+ bikes "middleweights"

Some say the MT 450 is better than the Sherpa.

If your bike is anything above 400 pounds with luggage it will very quickly become a street touring bike. Less is more if you want to actually go to epic places.

Tuareg 660 beats the Tenere in every way and all the bikes cost 30% more than both the Tenere and Tuareg. This a very heavy mid size list... i dont think mid size should pass 205-210kgs

When people say middle weight I dont think they understand what middle weight means. Thanks for sharing but I think the list is quite arbitrary. No much consideration on proven reliability, dynamic real life behaviour, dealer support and parts, and weight that all combined will leave several bikes off any lists. I guess if your remove the top word from your list it would meke it less objective yet some of those bikes fall in completely different categories.

Aprilia Tuareg???Winner of Africa Ecorace.

No way enfield himalayan 450 is on top of that list 😂😂

triumph

where is CFmoto ????

Middle-weight? 800 and 900?

No body will buy himalayan and you will come to know when you try one.

Middleweight?

Africa twin 1100cc is lighter and cheaper than half the bikes in this list

1). Vstrom 650XT. 2) Honda NX500 & TransAlps. 3) Yamaha Tenere 4). CF Moto & Kove 800

"CF Moto makes the KTM engine"...... gee wonder why so many KTM camshafts are failing before 20,000 miles? Could a CFO Moto do the same????

Seriously? That's your top 10 middleweights ?

Ducati any day of the week!

commercials

Anything above 700cc is heavy

Shows you how ridiculous it is to make videos judging bikes without ever riding one (or maybe 1).finally the cheapest is the best. Who expected that ? No one who ever did a mono on the motorway.

Ducati lang sakalam

How much did R E pay to be #1 lol

Tuareg best selling middleweight adventure bike of 2023 your list is fictional

Aprilia Taureg over thr Ténéré 700? HELL NO! I would pick the T7 over any of those other fancy bikes anytime. May be if I was a wanna be adventure traveler then I would pick a fancy bike with tons of electronics. You know, the crap that all those other bikes have and need to barely beat the T7. Like traction control and electronic suspension. And lets not forget the riders who think that they are better than they really are. Poor fellas don’t realize that it's the bike’s fancy electrics doing a lot of the work for them, and not their “great skills.” Wink wink Real experienced motorcyclists know that it is NOT about which bike is the fastest and more agile. Again, those are things wanna be’s care for. Those who are out to have a “little fun” on weekends, not world travelers. But for me, someone who travels the world, the T7 is more than perfect. Hard to beat in performance. But above all, as badass as it is, it lacks all the electronic junk that all those other bike have and need. If you are traveling trough a third work country and break down, good luck finding someone who has the know how and specialized tools needed to work of “electronic bikes” (what I call bikes with all the electronic junk). Yeah, good luck with that! And good luck finding parts for that bike. Many third world countries don’t even have an Aprilia, aducati, or other fancy European bike dealers. With the exception of BMW which most countries do have. In most only one dealer in the country, but one is better than none. In South America I met a guy who told me about a little problem he had with his BMW. He was traveling through Ecuador (if I remember correctly) and his BMW broke down in the middle of no where. Had it shipped to the capital, where the only BMW dealer is in the entire country, and had to wait almost a month for parts to arrive from Germany and for his bike to be repaired. That was money and time he wasted waiting for his bike. By contrast, another friend was traveling through Mexico on a barebones electronics Kawasaki KLR, when his bike also broke down in the middle of no where. Some farmers picked him up on a pick up truck and took him to the local motorcycle mechanic in the village. Some guy in a small shop in a house garage. The guy was able to fix his bike in a couple of hours. The beauty about the T7 is not only how good it is, but what it lacks. The only electronics is the ignition system, fuel injection, and ABS. Or what I call the basics. Oh yeah, and I forgot to mention, the price for parts for electronic and electrical junk on bikes are high enough to empty a bank account quickly. I saw a video of some guy with a KTM690 Adventure bike who had trouble with his display failing. Took it to a KTM dealer and they told him that they needed to change some wire harness. Total bill out of his pocket was 5,100 dollars. Nice! His bike was less than a year old. KTM USA’s warranty doesn’t cover much. Only engine/transmission, swing-arm, and I think frame. Oh and one more thing, with the many thousands of dollars I save buying a T7 over those over bikes, I can’t do at least a couple of nice trips through Mexico. Like through Baja California. So yeah, as a world traveler, you can keep your fancy bike and I’ll keep my T7.

450MT is better than Himalayan 450

I have a KTM 1290superduk gt I bought new, my previous bike was a 1190 Adventure I bought my, like you I think too pat for something that is already on the bike is scandalous. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER KTM. yours ripped off twice, NEVER AGAIN.

Middle weight mean less than 170 kg

😞 'promosm'

totally upside down.

Its the same with cars. This is the illusion of choice. Its literally the exact same thing over and over and over

Pay to play NEVER !

very very wrong first place. In my opinion, he is all the way back

I don't like or love adventures Motorcycles. I only ❤ love NAKED STREETS Motorcycles and FULL- FAIRED Motorcycles..and other segments neo-retro, cafe racer, scrambler, cruiser etc.etc.

Number One My Own mind ; Africa twin

Get real. Your on drugs.. why is it you guys have blow crap about riders who obviously have skills that none of us will ever get to.

Stop calling these bike middleweight. They are light heavy weight 😡

Not putting africa twin in first 3 places deserves instant dislike

KLR650 Adventure ....you loss it
