Convincing redesign: the 390 Adventure R is a genuinely capable off-road trail. Excellent equipment for an A2 licence.

2022

Best gen 1 model year: Off-Road mode and optional quickshifter. Versatile used buy at a fair price.

GOOD PICK
2020

Successful launch but single riding mode and limiting off-road ABS. Some early-production quality concerns.
