T o be completely honest, top-level ad- venture motorcycles are getting a little bit out of control. It's cool to have 150 horsepower firing out of multiple cylinders and dynamic motorcycle motion control systems communicating to tires and engines and suspension bits every millisecond and all, but holy crap, if that's the only direction to go when hitting the ADV scene, espe- cially for first-timers, we're doomed. There must be an adventure motorcycle gateway. A taste of adventure motorcycle freedom without intimidation. A modern take on simpler motorcycles of the past that spearheaded all-terrain global intrepidness, perhaps? Something that doesn't annihilate the wallet so you can afford to skip work to ride it would be nice, too. Road-worthy choices deserve a starting point. For many new riders or those looking for a simple choice to do all that motorcycling can do, the KTM 390 Adventure (click for our previous ride reviews), BMW G 310 GS and Royal Enfield Himalayan featured here will be the perfect experimental phase of their adventure-addicted future. For some, this is all they'll ever need—trust us, these bikes make you smile. VOLUME 57 ISSUE 22 JUNE 2, 2020 P81 VERY NEED BIG Three similar but very different motorcycles. Just how we like it.
