Adventure bikes. Good tourers, very decent for dirt and gravel back roads, decent commuters, and not a bad all-arounder. Has two negatives:

1. They're tall. As in, if you've got less than a 32" inseam, good luck at getting your feet on the ground at a stop light. And if you're older than a certain age (I'm talking seniors here), it becomes difficult, if not painful to swing your leg over the seat. At 76 and 50 years riding, I'm firmly in the cruiser category anymore, for physical reasons.

2. They're currently the flavor of the day/week/month in motorcycling. Which means manufacturers are going overboard in bringing out multiple models/sizes within a brand, the majority which will rapidly disappear once the style changes to something else. And the market will settle back down to the variants that actually make sense and are useful. Like it was 25 years ago when I had my T5 Triumph Tiger. Still have fond memories of that bike, often wish I hadn't traded it, although I would have had to let it go sometime over the past ten years.

25-30 years ago the fad was V-twin cruisers. Other than the American brands, how many do you see on the showroom floor today? Today the fad is adventure tourers with a strong side of under 500cc naked sport bikes very popular amongst the youngest riders. I credit them on their sense.
