Hi Drew,
Check out the ADVRIDER forum. It has a huge forum, but it is very
comprehensive once you have an idea about what you want. It sounds like
you want to sell the 2 dirt bikes and buy a dual-sport---meaning that it
can be registered for the road but also be rideable on dirt, like a
I've owned all the 650 dual sports. The Suzuki DR650 is the smoothest
thumper by far. The KLR is the second worst to the KTM 640 LC4 which is
unbelievably bad. Like "something is going to break before I leave the
driveway" bad. I found the KLR650 really unpleasant on the road, between

I owned a bunch of motorcycles in the seventies and eighties. I switched to
cycling because I was an idiot and couldn't ride slow. My all time favorite
was a DT175 Yamaha dual sport. I liked it better than the 500cc bikes I

Thanks everyone. I'm researching all of these as I make my way through the

Oh boy, I spent the last 5-7 years away from bicycles on a dual sport
motorcycle spree. Be careful, it's a slippery slope...
First of all, stay away from anything more than 15-20 or so years old.
Motorcycles don't age well, and the old twin shock, drum brake bikes just
sucked.
