These two motorcycles together weigh less than a BMW 1300 GS Adventure (and they can obviously do just about everything much better than the BMW).

Some information about this little motorcycle which unfortunately ceased production at the end of 2024 due to regulations: It's a small motorcycle made in Italy but equipped with the Suzuki 199cc engine from the DR200. With its trials bike genes, it's very light (around 110 kg ≈ 243 lb) and boasts good ground clearance while remaining accessible in terms of seat height. With its 6L tank (≈ 1.6 gal), it has a range of approximately 150 to 180 km (≈ 90 to 110 mi). It features a 21" front wheel and an 18" rear wheel with Excel rims. It can reach 110 km/h (≈ 65 mph) with its 5-speed gearbox. With its air cooling, carburetor, kickstarter, and electric starter, it's an extraordinary motorcycle that can go just about anywhere. Maintenance is extremely basic and cheap: air-filter cleaning, a little chain lube, an oil filter costing €4 (≈ USD 5), and less than one liter of 10W40 oil costing less than €15 (≈ USD 17).
