Motorcycle gear ADDICTION - what do you REALLY need?

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

More and more people are getting into adventure motorcycling and the product jungle can be hard to navigate. But do you really need all the fancy stuff to get out?
I have gear worth the BNP of Denmark but the same question arises. Do they make your adventure more enjoyable?

    IMHO where you can save most money starting out is to look for an an older low mileage bike. I run a very tidy 13 year old KTM 690 Enduro R which had less than 7000km on the clock when I got it last year. The stock suspension is also plenty good enough for me. My son runs an 11 year old Honda CB500X. Both are very much budget bikes in the ADV world. But we are not scared of dropping them every once in a while :)

    Hallo Robert, this is the best video I have ever seen on this topic! I think it's important to get started and gain some initial experience with the motorcycle. The choice of tires mentioned by Robert is important because it helps you to move safely off-road. Everything else can come with time. Or not, because I still travel with my Ortlieb bags, even when I'm traveling in Scandinavia for 4-5 weeks. 🙂

BUT... …all this is creating momories lasting your whole life! So no matter how much money you like to spend on this adventure bike thing, do it! You will experiance more life in five minutes on your bike, than other people will experiance in there whole life!

    My personal recipe to overcome the addiction is to invest in my abilities rather than stuff. Took 3 lessons from an official instructor since 2021 (I'm a beginner!) and will take a 4th lesson in May (as I will upgrade to the full license then). And I took 6 days of offroad training, in groups or individual to broaden my offroad abilities. Yes, I have just bought my second bike (same engine, different geometry - a 701 Vitpilen) and will do the same thing there: curve training days, leaning training day and even a racetrack day planned as this is a completely different bike than my 701 Enduro. So I have an initial purchase budget and after that a yearly training budget to spend. And I believe this money is well spent.

    Mondo Enduro! Great series. I haven't seen that for over 20 years. Beg, steal and borrow to begin with. 2nd hand works great. Ask all the gear junkies you know as they will have piles of stuff they have collected. If you can tolerate less abrasion resistance then enduro armor is great and allows you wear whatever gear you already have over the top. For waterproofs military surplus can be good value although it can also make you a bit hard to see. Ive found British military stuff fits over armour quite well and is pretty robust. Im sure most countries surplus is similar. Can be great for camping gear as well. Likewise work wear is often effective if slightly heavy. If you dont mind the colours no one else wants stock clear outs are goldmines. Cheers Paul

    Good advice. I'm very thankful to Robert for turning me on to the layering principle, which basically boils down to: when you're off-road on a warm day you basically don't want anything more than 100% mesh. I disagree that you can wear anything on top of your protection layer. If you love your kidneys you do also need a wind-proof vest or jacket for road riding or on cooler days. Of course, this could be your rain jacket, but I don't like the feeling of wearing a rain jacket by default. And yes, "Adventure" sometimes stands for "over-engineered and over-priced", and that applies to some of the stuff from folks such as Adventure Spec or Mosko IMO. So I'm very thankful I discovered those Enduro/MX brands such as O'Neil, Scott and Leatt!

    I bought my new T7 last fall as a university student. My advice for buying high-quality gear is to wait for Black Friday and similar events. I bought a Mosko Moto rackless 80 at half the price last year, which was a great deal for me as a poor student. Adventure riding when you're a student can be financially difficult, but when you love it, there's no way to resist it.

    I started back in the 1980s and things like Safety and waterproof were words seldom used never mind the idea of staying warm. Camping was real basic equipment, none of this hiking stuff, tents and sleeping bags were big and heavy, sleeping mat was just thin foam. Once you were wet and cold you stayed that way, 😂😂 such fun, but being young and stupid it mattered not. Move forward 40 years my how things change, but I still wear waterproof gear over my Gortex gear and using camping gear half the size but the enjoyment of going places on the bike hasn’t changed, sometimes the school of hard knocks teaches you more than any KZread influencers.

    I usually start with cheaper stuff (no, I'm not a Scotman). And spend more money if I really need to upgrade. Like an Ortema protector jacket when I fell on my ribs. But compared to years ago much of the contemporary gear is not too shabby For luggage I still have cheap & used Ortlieb saddlebags on my Transalp 600, but there is a rack system involved. On my newer CRF 300 L I want to go rackless. Maybe Kriega, because Mosko Moto is really expensive. I would rather spend the money on riding and travelling and a pint in the evening ;-) Cheers, Günter/Nürnberg PS: Great poster picture of Dragos!

    Buy second hand camping gears. Lots of people buy it new, use it for a week and then realise it’s not the hobby for them. Military surplus is also good if you can live with the colours (or lack thereof). One thing not mentioned that I would get for the bike are a paddock stand, reels and tools! The kit that comes with isn’t terrible but you won’t be doing much actual maintenance with it. Get that bike on a stand and figure out where everything is. I like cheap tools in general but I’ve surrendered to the siren call of Motion Pro and Eastbound.

    If you can’t afford good quality motorcycle gear the “work wear” section in your hardware store will have armoured workgloves, boots, hi viz waterproofs, pants that take knee padding etc - are the as good as Klim or BMW gear - NO of course not - but high heavy leather steeltoe cap boots and construction gloves will give good protection in those small slow speed dirt “tipovers” - as noted wear a enduro armour compression suit and you can layer over the top with jacket motocross jersey or waterproof depending on weather. Also padded cycle shorts or armour padded motocross shorts under pants offer thigh, butt cheek and butt bone protection. When buying hi vis waterproof pants get ones with zips, that you can wear without removing boots. Also I have found a spray over jacket and pants and boots with a silicon or other scotchguard type treatment doesn’t do a bad job in light rain - of course again - not a substitute for the real thing - but to get you started to see if you like it you spend maybe $300 instead of $3,000+

    I agree to some extent. But I must say: Buy cheap buy twice. Don't skimp on boots. And get a set of soft panniers that can migrate from bike to bike instead of bike specific racks. So it is about really considering when it is worth it to pay the extra money once and get it right in one go. Wish I bought my Kriega OS setup to begin with. Would have been cheaper and much more enjoyable.

    I might just be paranoid because I had a pretty severe ankle fracture in budget motocross boots but for any kind of actual adv riding I'd only suggest full on, premium motocross boots. The adv style boots that are popular don't offer any sort of bracing and even impact protection is limited. If you can twist them in any direction and if you can comfortably walk in them - you are not protected. It's also a part of your equipment that gets you the most bang for your buck protection wise, boots are guaranteed to take a beating when riding off road.

    I get how MX boots offer the most protection. But if one is not doing single track and is more of a touring sightseeing rider not a MX/Dakar racer, then comfortable boots is still okay.

    Which helmet do you think is best for riding in the rain? Many helmets fog up, pinlock even fogs up. Water leaks in between the visor and the helmet. They pay a lot, but wasted money so far. For longer rides, it would be good to have a waterproof and well-ventilated helmet.

    I was doing good for a while, lasted 3 months without buying something but then spent way too much on a Klim Carlsbad jacket since my other jacket is wearing out. And actually that is a lie since I also bought a skid plate for the bike, but to be fair I broke the last one off a few weeks ago. Love that KTM quality.

    Plastic bags!! Even with today's expensive modern bags and boxes I still wrap things in plastic bags. No one wants wet clothing or bedding if inexpensive or expensive gear seal fails or bags get holed or ripped. Also Zip lock freezer bags will protect your passport and documents! Hydration bottle or pack. You can survive long days without food, but you need to hydrate, if something goes wrong or your ride takes far longer than you thought make sure you have water. Find somewhere to stash tape, electrical and duct tape. It can solve so many things issues from broken boot straps to leaks and broken parts on your bike and gear.

My order in priority is as follows: - helmet - legal requirement - protection armor(airbag if you can stretch, boots/gloves/back protectors etc) -offroad training courses - tyre -skid plates -Barkbuster or similar Rest is not important Yes i have moskomoto tank bags R80, cardo, goretex etc etc but those are not absolutely needed.
