We all might want that big 1200cc, Rs 20 lakh exotic adventure tourer, but does it work for us in the conditions that we might end up riding in - that's the question one should ask themselves before parting with their hard-earned money.

Case in point me, I own the Tiger 1200 and yet for the last six months, most of my adventure riding has been on the Himalayan 450 - it is lighter and so easy to manoeuvre when the terrain gets tricky. It has ample power to keep up with highway traffic and to overtake at will.

It just ends up being more fun to me considering my idea of riding is to get off the tarmac as quick as possible and to find dirt/broken roads.

What do you think?
