Our good friends at Motorcyclist magazine have made a great video where they shun the big Adventure bikes for two modern-take scramblers and head out for some dirt fun. We love this, and we like that the guys went and did it in a country where you really can do some serious off-roading in…

VIDEO: Dani Pedrosa screaming around on a supermoto
Posted
by
Check out this pretty excellent video of Dani Pedrosa ripping the wotsit out of a supermoto bike. The whole video is very ‘arty’ in places, but don’t let that put you off – it’s well worth a watch. The lad can slide a supermoto around, no doubt about that.

They won’t be fast, or tech-laden but we think that this might just neatly slot into the custom-retro-adventure world very nicely indeed.
