Anyhow...I have been looking around and I think the adventure bikes look pretty interesting. Dont care for the bird beaks on them but I figure I may just have to overlook that part.

Any recommendations? My budget isnt super high. Would like to stay under 5K if possible but may be willing to stretch a little bit if that isnt reasonable.
You may have to up that budget, everyone has been looking for adventure bikes since Covid started and prices are fairly high. Assuming you are fine with used/older bikes? I think the only thing in that range may be the KLR650 unless you go smaller.
