Awesome stuff. Noticed that there was no KTM among the pack? What gives? Afterall, you did have the recovery vehicle for when did breaks down!

@TS50ER; KTM's press fleet were out on other mag tests at this time mate, and it was too late notice to get another sent from the other side of Aus. Stay tuned for Pt 2 of this outback adventure – we're doing it all again on 2011 models and will ensure KTM is on board this time!

You guys rock!.... finally a clip that shows some real adventure riding.

I'm sick of watching videos of lard arse pomms riding along some bitumen backroad, complaining about the overcast conditions and recommending everyone buy an Italian sports bike for adventure riding....gotta love that Rhino!

Damn, that sounded like an advertisement for all these bikes. Especially the GSA which I consider it to be the best advertised over rated bike of the bunch. This bike has inadequate suspension and weighs a ton. On top of that it can be seriously unreliable (see catastrophic engine failures, been there at 20k miles, and catastrophic rear end failures, been there also at 22k miles). I'm back to sprocket and chain options and double swing-arm for my adventure riding, see KTM 990 and bye bye BMW.

After riding home in drizzly rain, freezing cold, slippery wet roads and miserable detached people in their cars not looking where they're going cause they're texting - I REALLY envy you guy

I bought recently BMW R1200 GS Adventure, model 2008.

What a Bike, it is a combination of Sport bike, Touring Bike as well Off road beast.

It has wonderful long travel suspension, 33L fuel tank capacity. Very light in maneuvering.

When you ride you will find very comfortable and asking you to go more.

It is wonderful Germany engineering and design.

[jbogalho]

adventure bikes today are s.u.v.s... perfect for a minority, fashion statement for most people. so what? maybe one day they had a bad day at the ofice, ride it to the beach or mountain for an hour... and come bedtime, everything will be allright :)
