Adventure<br />
And that brings us to this light-middleweight<br />
segment. Bikes that follow the trail<br />
blazed by machinery like the Suzuki DR350,<br />
XR400 and then the DR-Z400. That’s where<br />
the WK 400 Trail comes in. It’s a new bike,<br />
fresh to the market and - importantly - where<br />
the DR/XR/DRZ offerings were essentially<br />
trail bikes that owners had to adapt in order<br />
to undertake long-distance work, the 400<br />
Trail is built to be a long distance machine<br />
right from the get-go (and ultimately<br />
mis-named). It’s a big-tank bike, complete<br />
with a screen, comfy seat, even one of those<br />
cheeky little rails that run above the speedo<br />
to take a GPS. Hey it even has proper<br />
aluminium panniers as an optional extra.<br />
It is, correct us if we’re wrong, the first<br />
factory-standard adventure machine in this<br />
capacity class.<br />
Nice Job<br />
So we can’t help but praise the WK 400<br />
Trail right from the outset. It’s as if the manufacturer<br />
read Chris Scott’s website (www.adventure-motorcyclingh.com<br />
- the h is correct)<br />
and have taken his every observation to<br />
heart. The spec is impressive: a simple<br />
SOHC air-cooled motor, big 18-litre tank,<br />
mid-to-long travel suspension, 21/18in<br />
wheels, a screen and sump-guard. The<br />
Chinese have done an amazing job. Simple
