Single v twin adventure bike debate: what our viewers said!︱Cross Training Adventure

Are single cylinder thumpers or twins best for adveneture riding? We did a recent vid about this, here is what you had to say! Great weather. The guys with Yamaha Teneres have itchy feet. It's time to hit the road. We have plenty of time so we head for a remote mountain range. As always, I am on the single cylinder DR650. Welcome to Cross Training Adventure, we are into all things dual sport and adventure on the east coast of Australia... with occasional detours to places like Vietnam, Cambodia, Romania and Canada. This is one of our three channels, there's also a Cross Training Trials channel, and a Cross Training Enduro channel. All three are equally dodgy. We are the 27th most watched dirt channel in Uzbekistan. We have won the polished turd award five years in a row. And we have a world record 25 class action lawsuits for inaccurate information. The guys are on twin cylinder adventure motorbikes. So it's a good time to look at the comments from our recent video about single versus twin cylinder engines. Cross Training Adventure actively avoids sponsorship. We like doing seriously critical reviews. Manufacturers make some really bad mistakes. and there is a lot of dodgy crap being sold out there. Instead of glowing dual sport reviews for kickbacks or free product, we will try to keep the buggers honest. So subscribe. Or don't subscribe to our Cross Training Adventure riding channel. The main thing is get out and ride while you can with dual sport riding or Adventure riding in Australia, Canada, Vietnam, Romania and beyond! So check out Cross Training Adventure. As expected, there were many fans of the 'thumper'. For many viewers, weight was the main reason. Johannes said "I started out on twins, but I now own two thumpers. We think the whole motorbike scene is getting too commercial. So called dual sport riding reviews are just glossy ads nowdays. Everyone is trying to sell you stuff you don't need, convince you to buy the latest model with anodized coffee cup holders for your trips to the coffee shop. Of course if you are cashed up and into bling, go for it. All we are saying is there's also the budget option for adventure riding. And it won't hold you back. Why? We reckon it's 80% the rider and 20% the bike. So the Cross Training Adventure focus is just get out there and have fun on two wheels. Instead of obsessing over the latest blinged out Beemer, which tyres to fit or spending a fortune on your suspension or billet alloy gas cap. So most of our adventure ridingvids will feature the much loved bush pig, the Suzuki DR650. And we've done a 10 part series on how to unleash the mighty beast that lurks within. What else? Main reason is simply the weight." I don't care if it's a twin or single as long as it's light and snappy. Bryan made an interesting comment. "Every spark plug added to your life, your misery adds up exponentially". But as we discussed in our recent video, a single cylinder motorbike is not always enjoyable for hours of highway riding. Single and light weight is the way to be for me. I'm like you, not a fan of riding the single down the highway. I prefer my XR 600 everywhere, BUT lately I just cannot stand the boring road miles. Many viewers thought the solution was quite simple. Single cylinder engines for the dirt. Twin cylinder engines for the road. And of course, some viewers said the solution was simply to own both types of motorbike. I'm not an expert at mathematics, but I have always liked that equation for the perfect number of motorbikes... n + 1. And of course 'n' is your current number of motorbikes. Amen.
