Master the Ride : He shared this with other enthusiasts. BHPian abhiijithbhatn Seven years back, I had a Dominar and set it up for adventure riding. I traveled a lot all over southern India, and also off-road, quite a bit. Basically I would put adventure riding in the class of comfortable touring bike out
the crap capabilities of a lighter off-road machine.On my regular long tours of 600-800 km in a day, I would be standing on foot pegs roughly 40% of the time. The higher handlebar with an upright standing position is gentle on the shoulders, chest, back, and of course, arse. Here’s what most people would consider the best adventure bike riding postures:
Neutral Upright Stance
That’s essential for long-distance comfort. The rider sits upright, relieving the back and providing a clear view. The height of the handlebars leaves no room for over reach, as a result, the rider maintains a good back position during long road stretches.
Standing Position
One for the off-road legs. Getting stood up on the foot pegs gives the rider control and balance over uneven ground. Handlebar risers allow you to maintain a comfortable stance without bending down too much so you do not tire. Ideally, you will feel comfortable here, and your legs will function as your suspension, so you can balance intuitively.
Relaxed Arm Position
It should only take in order to have very relaxed elbows arms must lightly bent whether seated or standing. This helps to soak up bumps when off-road and prevent the rider from feeling too stiff. And handlebar height and angle adjustments can play a big part in that comfort.
Knee Grip and Weight Shifting
The bike will make you clench your knees to the tank in the more technical off-road situations. This is often pretty easy and comfortable, with the geometry of adventure bikes, and standing up helps you shift your weight around, which helps with some pretty responsive control.So here are what are generally considered the ideal riding postures for adventure bikes, according to
users on the interwebs.It is garnered by many as a better adventure bike than the GS900, which is now considered to be more of a sports adventure bike. Adventure motorcycle devotees buy these machines not for recreational short rides, but for long-distance comfort with an eventual goal of reaching some exotic off-road destination that constitutes just 10-20% of the overall trip.
