Does anyone have a dual sport bike? What we used to call Enduro back in the day...
IKE's bike has that look and I'm sure it is a perfect size for Phils. I had dirt bikes for decades but never owned a street bike. I'm looking for something to do the Trans American Trail with. Suzuki DR650, Kawasaki KLR650, Honda CRF250L or similar. I've ridden my buddies Intruder a good bit but not enough to get comfortable. My goal is to get back in the saddle on the dirt and back roads while I get more comfortable so I can adventure ride some overseas.
I can get a decent bike in the 2.5-4k range except for the Honda since it hasn't been out very long. I'm leaning towards the Honda since it is the only one in that class with fuel injection and it gets 70+ mpg. From what I've read, FI is a major advantage with the elevation changes out west. I can stop to tweek the mixture if needed, it just seems like it would be a pain.
