This isnāt the case with the BMW alone; all modern scramblers Iāve ridden are primarily road bikes, and they handle like road bikes on dirt. Thereās a reason the Japanese invented the dirt bike some 40-odd years ago ā probably because scramblers didnāt work that well off-road.

It wonāt be the most formidable off-road machine, but thanks to the addition of a 19ā front wheel, an elevated exhaust system, and telescopic forks, light trail riding is more than possible.
