Which real life bikes are the inspiration for the drifter bike?
Once you tune it up, i gotta admit, the bike looks insnely cool.
So i was wondering if anyone knows of some bike models that could be the inspiration for the bike in the game? Its somewhere between a dirt bike and a cruising harley, huh?

It's a cross between a full custom design, and an adventure bike/adventure styled bike. Pretty much a beefed up/large dual-sport/enduro, but built on a large(r) frame (like a cruiser, for example), with a larger engine, tires, a larger gas tank, and beefier suspension to boot, all to fit the larger frame and bigger engine as it goes between off and on road. Plus, adventure's are designed to carry weight, like passengers and saddlebags at the same time as off roading. Smart choice with how the world you're riding in turned out.

As a rider of a large ADV bike myself, it's honestly about 1/2 the reason I got the game, and tbh. The riding in the game feels really satisfying, and yes, I was biker geeking out over the choice to go with a large ADV and the bits and pieces for the bike. Some things I found kinda questionable, or even outright backwards compared to real life, but, 'ey, game was still fun.

EDIT: realized I got into my own nerd tangent and got a wee bit off topic, sorry about that. So from some looking up online, looks like a mix between the KLR 650, and the Vulcan were some of the larger inspirations, but individual pieces were more respective to there own bits and bobs "I like this part" moments. Apparently, a few BMW inspired bits, was a thing. I'm pretty sure if I watch the interviews on the bike breakdown they'll have more, but I was just reading articles on the same topic.
