[QUOTE="WR 250, post: 101360, member: 17697"] Recently I've been thinking about purchasing a new dual sport bike. I've never had one or even a street bike (I'm total a dirt bike guy) but since my wife got a little Buell Blast and is having so much fun going on street bike rides with the group here in town I think I'd like to join her. Do any members have experience with the big, 650cc dual sports? I've been looking at the Honda, Suzuki and Kawasaki along with the Suzuki DR400S. I don't have any brand preference and dirt manners arn't as important to me since I've already got a dirt bike. My riding would consist of 200 mile day trips with speeds of 55-75mph and I have to climb a 2200' pass every time I leave town. I'm wondering if the 400 would be a little small for that type of usage. The reason I don't just get a street bike is that I still want to be able to explore dirt roads and easy trails when I am riding by myself. Plus, there are not a whole lot of paved roads in Alaska so a pure street bike would be really boring to me. Presently I'm leaning towards the KLR 650 because of the big tank, liquid cooling and price. I'm not brand loyal, just seems like the best deal. Any opinions? [/QUOTE]
