O comportamento ágil tenta o piloto a um ritmo muito ambicioso, sem desvantagem para a ronda matinal de domingo. No entanto, na viagem para o Cabo Norte com a mãe, é relativamente cansativo.

A Super Adventure R apresentou-se como uma excelente moto de aventura durante o teste intensivo nos Pirinéus. Ofereceu uma óptima combinação de conforto para longas distâncias e capacidade para todo-o-terreno. Não encontrará esta combinação com esta consistência em nenhuma outra mota. Acima de tudo, o chassis é robusto e apresentou-se da melhor forma em terrenos difíceis. É claro que apenas um número muito reduzido de condutores irá efetivamente conduzir este monstro de forma adequada - mas em terrenos difíceis, "ter" sempre foi melhor do que "precisar".
