presentation of the 950 Adventure S 2004
theAdventure is not afraid of the open road, and its generous suspension travel helps it overcome many obstacles. The S version boasts even more generous suspension travel, with 265 mm (+35 mm), which results in an equivalent rise in seat height, peaking at 915 mm. Its high ground clearance and engine availability enable it to go much further than most TT trail bikes. On the other hand, the machine is prone to more pronounced changes in attitude, and you'd better be tall to hope to climb aboard. This S model benefits from a more colorful paint scheme than the standard Adventure: orange for 2003, then a more official rally-machine blue for subsequent vintages.
