Aprilia Tuareg 660

Aprilia Tuareg 660

It feels well built and looks great. Lovely plush suspension on the showroom floor, but it falls apart when you get rougher with it. The suspension thinks it is a road bike, not an offroad one.

BMW F800GS

BMW F800GS

Great choice for an Adventure bike that gobbles up highway KM too. The suspension is a bit of a let down though, but we can sort that out for you.

BMW G650X (All)

BMW G650X (All)

The G650 range includes the X Challenge, X Country and X Moto. They all share the same platform but vary slightly. They have become something of a cult bike, more popular since production ceased.

Ducati Desert X

Ducati Desert X

Is it the Ultimate Adventure Bike? Ducati certainly seems to think so. Endless power, amazing tech and rugged construction meet a pretty lazy suspension spec.

Honda CRF300L and Rally

Honda CRF300L and Rally

Little lightweight adventure bikes are a big deal now. With Honda reliability behind it, and some suspension tweaking, this small wonder can be seriously capable on and off road.

Honda XL750 TransAlp

Honda XL750 TransAlp

The Trans Alp is back! This touring machine looks mean with all that protection and aggressive lines. It's fine on the street, but just begging for the extra tuning needed for proper adventures.

Honda XR650R

Honda XR650R

We know this bike better than anyone, having recieved the first one into Australia in 2000 with Ballards and building engines and suspension for GHR Honda from 2001-2004.

Kawasaki KLR650

Kawasaki KLR650

Tough and reliable, the killer KLR is built like the pyramids. But that is also part of its problem, because those good old, reliable damper rod forks are very last century. They can be made to feel a whole lot more stable and gentle on the arms.

Kawasaki KX250F

Kawasaki KX250F

Teknik Motorsport actually raced these in the Pro Lite National MX Series throughout 2006. It's been a while since then, but we keep up to date on them.

KTM 1090 / 1190R Adventure

KTM 1090 / 1190R Adventure

KTM had some issues with the 1190 Adventure's rear. The dyno shows lumps and bumps where there shouldn't be. Not to worry though, we finished it off for them. Comparable to suspension 'kits" that cost as much as five thousand Australian dollars.

KTM 950 and 990

KTM 950 and 990

KTM's Dakar history all went into this big and capable offroader. They changed their minds about ground clearance sometimes, and so can you.

KTM EXC & EXC-E & EXC-F

KTM EXC & EXC-E & EXC-F

WP Suspension's PDS shock needs the right spring to work well. We did heaps of development for them, and now we have almost double the number of progressive rates and more linear rates available than anyone else.

Suzuki DL1000 VStrom 2014+

Suzuki DL1000 VStrom 2014+

The old DL1000 got a big overhaul in 2014, and it's better than the old one. But it is terrifyingly under-damped and wiggles around when pushed. We've tweaked it into something seriously confidence inspiring.

Read more
Suzuki DRZ400

Suzuki DRZ400

The Suzuki DRZ 400 has been a reliable workhorse since 2000 when it was introduced. It's a very reliable motorcycle for a commuter, trail bike or as an adventure bike! We offer a special suspension package.

SWM RS650R

SWM RS650R

A special Italian oddball built out of bits from several other euro bikes, but it can be made to work harmoniously and cope with Aussie conditions.

Triumph Tiger 1050

Triumph Tiger 1050

Your big soft Tiger could use more bite. With some tuning they can stop feeling bouncy, furry and floaty and turn into something more balanced & solid.

Triumph Tiger 800

Triumph Tiger 800

One of the most versatile bikes on the market, it should cope with Australian roads well, given the extra suspension travel, but it's settings are under developed.
