History

ADVMoto Magazine began in Southern California in 1997 as a Kawasaki KLR650 newsletter. As the community grew, it went from a print newsletter to a full print magazine format titled Dual Sport News in 1999. [5]

In August 2006, its name changed to Adventure Motorcycle & Dual Sport News, which remained the publication’s title until 2011. The 2008 economic crash pushed the title into a digital-only format under the same name until 2010. That year, Motocyclops took over the magazine and renamed it as ADVMoto. In 2011, printed copies were made available at newsstands in the United States, Canada, and Australia. [6]

In the past two years, they have also published comics and illustrated art, launching both a comic book series titled Far-Rider Adventures and a single panel comic series titled The Far-Ride. [6]

Types of motorcycles Types of motorcycles

There are many systems for classifying types of motorcycles, describing how the motorcycles are put to use, or the designer's intent, or some combination of the two. Six main categories are widely recognized: cruiser, sport, touring, standard, dual-purpose, and dirt bike. Sometimes sport touring motorcycles are recognized as a seventh category. Strong lines are sometimes drawn between motorcycles and their smaller cousins, mopeds, scooters, and underbones, but other classification schemes include these as types of motorcycles.
