Anyone have an opinion on the xt250 or the suzuki dual sport bike? I'm looking for something light to take across the USA on my RV.

Steel 05-08-2008, 04:16 PM IF you're going cross country, i'd suggest something a bit bigger than a 250. Kawasaki and Suzuki make the two best big dualsport bikes, the KLR and DR series, respectively. 650 might be on the big side, but the 400's might float your boat. dano670 05-09-2008, 01:37 AM The only 250 4 stroke I ever rode was a KTM (06 Model). I felt it was underpowered compared to my CR250, but it was still a fun bike to ride. Those 400s/450s add some extra pounds, maybe 40 or so, that might be a little too much bike to be hauling around the back of your RV.

It is no 2-stroke in weight, but definitely lighter. I will never ride some 300+ pound behemoth down some trail because everytime I ride, I end up dropping a bike. At least once. Cosby 05-10-2008, 08:08 PM take across the USA on my RV. I'm not loading a 400 or 600 on the back of my rv every time I want to stop. They're WAY too big and worthless offroad. Steel 05-10-2008, 08:44 PM Ohhhh. Reading comprehension FTL. I thought you were riding the bike cross country. Cosby 05-11-2008, 12:47 AM bring a 400 enduro to spartanburg and I'll show you. Might as well bring a harley Animal 05-16-2008, 12:19 AM KTM 690? http://www.motorcyclespecs.co.za/Gallery%20B/KTM%20LC4%20690%20Supermoto%2007.jpg Cosby 05-16-2008, 02:58 AM I ended up with a KLX :) dano670 05-16-2008, 04:18 AM Size and year? |
