In the BMW’s case, that job is long-distance travel, both on- and off-road. Like the Adventure version of the R1200GS boxer, this new Adventure is a kitted-out touring version of an existing model: the F800GS. It keeps that bike’s 798cc parallel twin engine and tubular steel frame, with the addition of a larger screen, wider seat, hand guards, bigger fuel tank, engine protection bars, serrated “enduro” footrests and brackets from which to hang panniers. That’s a useful list, and the upmarket Adventure Travel Edition model tested (which costs £10,535 to the standard Adventure’s £9,650) also has heated grips, LED running lights, on-board computer and centre-stand. It has Automatic Stability Control (ASC), BMW’s version of traction control. And it adds an Enduro mode that tunes the ASC and the standard fitment ABS brake system for off-road riding. The Adventure was created, BMW claims, for “true globetrotters who want to conquer the world off the beaten track”. But my heart sank within a mile of setting off, when I realised that its non-adjustable screen meant I couldn’t reduce the loud wind roar.

To be fair, I’m very tall and riders of normal height didn’t complain. But the fixed screen is a strange flaw given the easy adjustability of other BMW screens. Being tall at least meant that I didn’t have too much trouble clambering on to the seat which, at 890mm, is very high. Short riders will struggle, although there is a 30mm lower option. The liquid-cooled, eight-valve F800 engine has a dummy connecting rod to reduce the parallel twin layout’s inherent vibration, yet the BMW still tingles through seat and footrests above about 5,000rpm. But the Adventure gets better the farther it’s ridden. Its 85bhp provides solid if unspectacular performance despite the bike’s substantial 229kg fuelled-up weight. After initially finding the BMW dull, I came to enjoy the way it didn’t complain when revved hard through the six-speed gearbox. It is good for 120mph, cruises effortlessly at the legal limit and is quick enough to cover ground rapidly. It also corners and brakes respectably well, the narrow front tyre helping to give light steering despite the large, 21in wheel.

The optional ESA electronically adjustable suspension hardly seems worth its £280 cost, however, since it alters only the rear shock’s rebound damping (unlike the systems on other BMWs). But although quite soft, the suspension kept good control. And the ABS-assisted brakes were equally capable. The Adventure’s long-distance ability is its biggest asset. I didn’t have time for globetrotting, but the BMW shone on a ride from Hertfordshire to south Wales. Its enlarged, under-seat tank holds 24 litres and allows a range of well over 200 miles; the combination of wind protection, roomy riding position and well padded seat gave not a twinge after several hours’ riding. With sturdy aluminium panniers (a £586 optional extra) fitted, the Adventure is a brilliant luggage carrier. When I took an off-road diversion, it coped effortlessly with gravel-covered tracks and bumpy dirt roads. The soft suspension doesn’t provide quite the control of the larger R1200GS, but the lighter F800 is more manageable at slow speed.
