The 1987 Elefant has been,(until the KTM 950 V-twin) the most competent Adventure/rally type motorcycle on the market.While at 50hp,it is not as fast as a bmw gs,it is 140lbs lighter and has great torque from the ducati pantah L-twin motor. the 42mm Marzocchi M1 forks,Brembo brakes and Ohlins shock are great stuff,and the build quality refects the Castiglione brothersĀ“passion for well engineered motorcycles.The Elefant handles amazingly rough terrain with ease and confidence, and is rock-steady and vibraton-free on the highway.This bike was way ahead of itĀ“s time.
