It's not only the bigger tank which makes the 2012 Stelvio sweeter than previous models. There might not be too many major changes between the new Stelvio and the one it replaced but it feels as though there is.
FOR 2011 Husqvarna has given its biggest dirt bike a completely new motor, ergos, suspension and chassis, making the new TE630 a genuine option when it comes time to go shopping for your next big bore bush basher.

The KTM 990 Adventure R is the most hard-core Adventure bike you can buy. If you're coming to adventure riding from a dirt bike background and want to move away from single-cylinder machines, the 990R offers the best package of suspension, performance and off-road handling available today.
HOT on the heels of the Triumph Tiger 800XC is the more road oriented Tiger 800. In short, the base Tiger 800 is better on the road than its adventurous XC sibling, but not by much, and it's not quite as good on the dirt, but again not by much.
LONG travel suspension, flexible engine, comfort, protection, ruggedness. The best adventure bikes have these very qualities, and so does Triumph's new Tiger 800 XC.

DUCATI has succeded in building one of the most versatile bikes ever with the new Multistrada 1200.
