Dualsports
I'm really liking dual sports anyone know if they are worth getting. They seem like it cause of all the desert here .. But would they be good everyday type bikes.( I work like 2 miles from work)

RE: Dualsports
Majority of Duals only do road or dirt OK then the flip side road or dirt horribly. But it all depends on ur style tho... I've rode a handfull of DS and I happen to like the BMW 650 gs and if you want a bigger size Yamaha Super Tenere. Can't comment on the KTMs due to never riding one

RE: Dualsports
Are you looking for mostly pavement/graded dirt roads ?
Or more off-road oriented ? (rocky off-road, hill climbs, lesser traveled trails, etc)

Do you have much off-road bike experience ?

I don't have any off road experience. And mainly gonna stay on paved roads until I wanna adventure. Nothing Motocross, just adventuring on the bike in the desert.

RE: Dualsports
I consider going to the bathroom a dualsport. But any 250 would be a great start for the dirt. wouldnt get anything much more powerful until you get comfy.

Lots of cheapys on craigs, might even be able to save a buck buy one that needs a lil TLC.
