Despite all the off-road capabilities that modern touring enduros offer the experienced rider, most people prefer to stay on the asphalt with their usually quite expensive motorcycles. There's no need for big, thick lugs, which admittedly may look sexy, it's more about grip, smoothness and performance. And above all, it's about functioning in a wide range of road and weather conditions. Which we had plenty of during our winter quarters in Barcelona, and especially on the three-day trip back to Austria.
