What Bike Would You Pick For A Post-Apocalyptic World

In recent years, the world has experienced various events that have made us ponder the future. Empty store shelves, food shortages, supply chain disruptions, cyber attacks, and political corruption have raised concerns about what lies ahead.

In such a scenario, having reliable means of transportation becomes crucial. This is where motorcycles, particularly those in the adventure dual sport class, come into play. In this article, we will explore the reasons why choosing an adventure motorcycle could be advantageous, especially if you find yourself in a post-apocalyptic world.

Adventure motorcycles possess a unique combination of fuel efficiency and agility, making them ideal for navigating challenging terrains and overcoming obstacles. Unlike four-wheeled vehicles or trucks, motorcycles excel at maneuvering through tight spaces and handling adverse conditions. With their versatility, they offer not just a means of transportation but also endless opportunities for fun, recreation, and exploration.

The Dual Sport Our Savior

The popularity of adventure dual sport bikes has skyrocketed in recent years, surpassing that of other motorcycle categories such as sport bikes and cruisers. The appeal lies in their ability to traverse a wide range of terrains, making them the go-to choice for adventure enthusiasts worldwide. These bikes have been extensively tested and ridden across five continents, solidifying their reputation as the most capable and versatile options available.

Now, let's delve into four excellent examples of adventure motorcycles and why they could be your best bet in a dystopian future:

• 2019 Honda Africa Twin: With its exceptional ground clearance and suspension travel, the Africa Twin ensures outstanding agility on and off the road. Its off-road capabilities make it an excellent choice for navigating through obstacles or even zombies. Moreover, Honda's reputation for reliability and the wide availability of parts make the Africa Twin a long-lasting and dependable companion.

• 2000 Kawasaki KLR 650: The Kawasaki KLR 650, a classic among adventure motorcycles, stands out as the most budget-friendly option on our list. Its affordability extends beyond the purchase price, as the KLR 650's low-cost parts and ease of self-maintenance ensure long-term cost-effectiveness. With a carbureted engine instead of advanced electronics, the KLR 650 offers simplicity and the ability to fix issues without relying on computer diagnostics.
  
  

 

While these four motorcycles represent the cream of the crop, numerous other adventure dual sport bikes offer similar characteristics. Reliability, agility, parts availability, and luggage carrying capacity are common features found in this category. Bikes like the Suzuki DR-650, Honda XR650L, and early '80s BMW R80 or R100 GS also deserve honorable mentions for their simplicity and reliability.

The Ideal ADV Bike For The End?

If you had to choose a single motorcycle to survive the apocalypse or any other uncertain future, the Kawasaki KLR 650 emerges as the prime candidate. Its budget-friendly nature, combined with ease of self-maintenance and long-lasting performance, make it an ideal companion for unpredictable times. While other bikes might better serve your exploration and enjoyment in the pre-apocalyptic era, the KLR 650's simplicity and reliability secure its position as the ultimate choice for long-term survival.
