Everything else that they mentioned was the usual fear about parts and support for a Chinese bike, and that they think the other two are a better value, despite being thousands more in price. Personally, for a $3000 plus savings over the other two, I would be willing to spend a couple hundred on stiffer springs for the forks and the shock on the Adventura 650.
They just released a Daily Rider episode today and that was not "all they could come up with".

Zack was not as "gentle" as the joint article and gave some of the behind the scenes feedback.

All of the associated riders agreed that they would prefer a used Jap 650 anything to a new Adventura and that making the bike on the adventure platform was absurd. The company lacks the craftsmanship culture to pull it off.

3/4 the price for 1/2 the bike with no dealer support is not the deal I want.
