They are designed primarily for riders who want to travel long distances on pavement with occasional forays onto dirt roads. They usually come with smoother tires that perform better on pavement.

The adventure touring motorcycle concept encompasses dual-sport motorcycles designed specifically to provide long range touring capabilities both on roads and off roads with the intent of making virtually any destination reachable. Motorcycles in this category share a unique combination of traits that provide them very high ground clearance (for off-road purposes), large fuel reserves, large displacement, under stressed engines for high reliability and heavy torque output but good high-speed highway behavior and handling. These combinations, along with their weight and large size, separates them from traditional off-road, enduro, and motocross motorcycles.

It is common for a large selection of purpose-driven options to be available for global tourers, including skid plates (to protect the engine and transmission during off-road use), larger and additional fuel tanks than stock, metal-formed hard luggage for extreme condition use, hardened GPS navigation systems designed to handle off-road abuse, etc. These bikes do not necessarily ship with hard luggage, but usually offer them as optional extras either from the manufacturer or via third-party suppliers. These motorcycles are often used as the basis for competitions in extreme rally events

Don't Confuse this with Sports Touring or Cruisers category.

I made a comparison chart about some of these bikes out there
So now I know where my ZMA really fits in.
If want to update my ZMA it will be Yamaha Terene 250 but its only available only in Brazil.
So sharing my taught of discussion

- Is there a market for these bikes in India?
- Will you buy any of these?[Only few of these are available.]
- Would you Like these in profile like CBR 250R[ ie 250cc| Liquid cooled|6Speed]
- 20 Liter Fuel Tank is required for a country like India
- And the ground clearance suits any roads in India[Literally]
- The Riding comfort is better than track bikes[Eg. R15 2.0]
- The Pillion is also comfortable.
. Undercowl and front fairing should be removed. 15 litre tank. Linear power and torque delivery yes ZMA it is. Pulsars too can fit in but seating position matters for it. Well CBR 250 is there too but fails on offroading.

) at high speeds.
( but its way too old and not in production i think not sure)
