Dual Sport for me
Posted: Tue Jul 15, 2014 11:24 am
You guys and all your dual sport riding have me thinking, maybe I should see what the fun is all about. I am also fighting myself with getting a smaller bike for local rides.
So I was thinking this DRZ-400SM supermoto:

I have also seen guys on the Dragon running the motards with slicks, which also looks like crazy fun. I realize this example has street tires and suspension, but figured I could put some DS tires on it and away I go. Is that a bad idea?
How many miles can these singles take before a rebuild is needed? Are they reliable? Are extended highway jaunts to get to good DS roads a pain with buzzy singles? Should I get the non-supermoto version? Should I just buy a KLR650? Or the NC700X?
Or even sell the K12S and buy an adventure bike like everybody else?
