2023 ADV GUIDE P83
(Top to bottom) Fastway
Adventure pegs are one
of the bolt-ons that make
ADV bikes feel better on
every ride. Another partner
from GNCC and Enduro
is Cycra, with its pro-
bend handguard system.
Seat Concepts brings
exceptional seats to
almost any bike. The Idaho-
based company's vast
selection is built in-house.
they're working to deliver smoother
or more manageable power for the
rough-and-rowdy off-road circuits.
The AmPro Yamaha Tenere 700
mimics that approach. It's adding
parts that make sense and look
awesome but leaving well enough
alone when it's wise.
>RIDING WITH RANDY
I must start this story with a bit of
surrealism. I got to ride adventure
bikes with Randy Hawkins. As a
dirt bike nerd, it doesn't get much
better than that! Let's add in the
fact we rode in my home state
of Montana, and we got to rip
through some roads and areas I
grew up bouncing around on. I
could have been riding PW50s
for the week we hung out, and
I would have been completely
pumped. But, jumping between
the AmPro bike and my stocker
with someone like Hawkins was
all-time. He's smart, humble and
still one hell of a great rider. I
have hit another life-goal-riding
milestone on this trip! I rode ADV
bikes in my backyard with the
Javelin. Winning!
