Have always wondered - what knobbies are those on the press launch test bikes? Current search yields no compatibles for a 19" front 17" rear combo like these ... Thanks!

@ronniemotoventura I’m pretty sure they were Maxxis

@SarahLappin im 6' 4" and people said when i used it at the ORS course i looked rediculous

only bike i got on with was the r1200gs, i now have an adventure myself and use that for fun off road every weekend!

Quick question, my husband has the bmw r1200 gs adventure and i own a tdm 850, he is interested in buying the g650gs for commuting to work and some light weight fun, he is 6 foot 2 is it a tall enough bike for him to be comfortable and is there a higher seat purchaseable?
