Australian Adventure Bike

Our goal in ULTIMATE ADVENTURE BIKE AUSTRALIA is to appreciate everyone that’s having a crack — big or small — and enjoying whatever it is that’s an adventure to you. Hopefully, along the way we can steer you in the right direction (pun kinda intended) and bring to the fore just how much fun and how liberating adventure riding is. The adventure bike scene is one of the most vibrant across the globe and nowhere is it more relevant than in this vast sunburnt country. We were built by adventurers and the need to explore is in our blood. There’s never been a better time to do it on a motorcycle with an amazing array of machines and gear available for all. And now they’re finding freedom once again on bikes that take them back in bush and well beyond, in a less aggressive environment. Now is the time to reach those riders. Readers will be treated to the highest quality photography and journalism with bike tests and bucketlist rides leading the features. Each issue will also have dedicated ride tutorials and handy on track how to’s and will be chockas full of gear and accessories that we know this audience loves.

CHINESE TAKE-AWAY • CFMOTO’s 450MT has quite clearly been kicking down doors here in Australia and around the world, helping give the Chinese brand more mainstream acceptance with more motorcyclists than ever before. Could the time soon be coming for more Chinese adventure bikes to penetrate deeper into the global market?

TÉNÉRÉS ON A HIGH • For 2025 the annual Yamaha Ténéré Rally headed all the way to the top: the top of the spectacular Victorian High Country. And for a pack of 50 devoted Ténéré enthusiasts, the rally delivered memories that will last a lifetime.

MOTOS WITH MILES • Miles Davis is without doubt one of Australia’s very best adventure riding coaches and we are rapt that he is part of the AAB editorial team. Every issue Miles prepares a regular riding tips column, but we always feel like we could benefit so much more from his words of wisdom. After recently spending time on the trails with Miles at his home at Bright on the edge of the Victorian High Country, we came away with a stack of riding tips that we will be presenting over the next two issues of AAB. So without further ado, take it away, Miles!

BAJA DAZE • When a bunch of Californian ADVers last got together for a ‘big ride’, they went all the way north to the Arctic Circle. So this time they headed south, to the bottom of the Baja peninsula, and got just what they wanted: an adventure to remember!

SWEEPING KIWIS • It’s not every day you get the call-up to sweep ride a KTM Adventure Rallye in the spectacular South Island of New Zealand. So when you do, you make the most of it!

RIDE FOR A REASON • If you’re keen to support a charity ride, Kat’s Adventure Ride is well worth your attention, raising funds to support the Newborn Intensive Care Foundation. Their Snowy Mountains Adventure Ride earlier this year was an absolute ripper through a very special part of the country.

FEELING HUNGRY? • In the late 1970s and early ’80s, Hungry Creek Motorcycle Park just north of Sydney was a dirtbike mecca. Like so many riders we cut our teeth there, howling around the endless tracks and trails, so 40 years...
