Here is an interesting observation concerning bikes.
Too my surprise and I would had never thought that it seems the S10 is not so illusive. In this northern trip I have seen more S10 than KTM, Vstrom and Tigers. About the only bike that was more visible was the GS and KLR a close second.
It seem KTM riders prefer riding in packs of their own while I saw mix brands with most others.
I say that because it was what I observed.
As for the S10, I saw atleast half a dozen riding solo while atleast 8-10 riding in with another or small pack.
So, does this mean the S10 is just being over shadowed by YouTube hero’s for subscribers and sales of certain bikes are great for that weekend worrier. While the hardcore adventurer still holds true to the S10. Interesting, but just what I have observed in the Alaska Yukon adventure.
