These bikes represent the newest crop of adventure machines in the 450cc range. They can all lead you to a life of motorcycle-mounted exploration. More than the smaller dual sport dirt bikes, these are full-size, fully featured and highway-capable travel whips. They are also approachable, simpler than full-size street bikes, and affordable off-road adventure vehicles. They are the perfect starting point (or settling spot) for those wanting to open their riding life to diverse terrain. And they all come in under $7000, excluding taxes, fees, tariff surcharges and all that stuff.
