As an ADV bike guy out in the back country havin fun, lemme just say lovin the off-road vids and ADV bike content. Sport bike guys, calm down and broaden your horizons lol
As a sport bike guy that rode an africa twin fof a while.... thats a path you go down when you realize that the edge of preformance requires mens sized balls
@@andrewjensen6744 - Is there anything lesser than men-sized balls?
as a man that rides down what you guys call "forest trails" on my street triple just to get to my main road, you don't need a ADV, and a Honda 250l isn't a ADV its just a bad dirt bike
@@peteg1696 crf300L just as pathetic. I must admit I liked it on the road but now time for ktm 300 for the dirt and road legal
@@jamesgeorgevellavella1961 i used to have a KTM 300exc it was a awesome bike and i do miss it
The TW200 is no joke. During my motorcycle class I outpaced everyone but that’s not because I was learning faster, it was because the TW200 was doing the riding for me. I thought to myself “this is NOT a beginner bike, I should really go for the Turbo Busa instead”. Low and behold, I’m bored with the Turbo Busa, chasing that first feeling when I rode the TW200.
In all seriousness the TW200 is actually a really good bike, highly recommend it.
Same exact experience for me. Everyone was on honda rebels except me and one other guy on TW200s. Everyone was having issues on most things while us two were acing everything. Such a great bike!
I loved that bike. I choose it because i like dirt bikes and i didn't want to ride a cruiser. Had so much fun.
I absolutely love seeing this kind of content on the channel!! I've said it before on this channel, but the entire reason I got into riding was Because watching your videos finally convinced me to do what I had been wanting for years! Living in Colorado, getting a duel sport only made sense! I have loved the few months I got to ride my new crf300l before the snow really set in! Seeing content makes me feel a lot more at home watching videos of rides I can relate to rather than always seeing road or track videos!
lovin the shift in content. Hope this ends up working well for the brand, I'd love to see this type of content make a more regular appearance on the Yammie channel.
My feelings also, it hasn't worked in the past for the channel but I think the dirtbike and adv viewers just haven't discovered it yet.
The DR650 is my bike of choice. Lighter than the KLR by a large margin and just as reliable.
Same here. I have two DR650s and love them dearly. I think its wild that ive seen only the DRZ400 mentioned so much on this channel, im convinced that they are unaware the DR650 exists.
@@TheDouglas717 They mostly like the greatest and latest on this channel. An aircooled, carb bike, with right side up forks isn't on their radar. I think it's a better bike than a DRZ for most ppl though. I've owned both.
Good bike. Believe it not fuel injected
@@TheDouglas717 drz400 is Way more popular, because it can do Dirt, and Supermoto......the DR650 is kinda of a sloppy turd off-road, that does Highways well, LOL.....it's mostly for the older crowds......where the 400 is a legit bike that will rip everything Pretty well.
@@94SexyStang You have no idea what you are talking about. 650 can do sumo and dirt just fine if you wanted it to, I have no idea where you get these misconceptions. They are literally the same bike but the 650 can actually get up to a comfortable speed.
The 400 is nearly redlined at 70+. At that point the 400 is basically a over weight dirt bike. That won't work for me, I do most my riding on the road so I need something that feels comfortable on the road. The 400 won't cut it as everyday bike.
2:34 the video finally starts here
I mean... i'd pay good money to see a set of knobbies on a TurboBusa just to see what it can do...
make it happen
I saw posted a busa with spoked wheels on the discord a couple days ago
I'd love to see a 100-foot- long rooster tail of sand streaming out behind Yammie Dirt's Turbo Busa.
@@elevationmoto6208 😂yes
There is a video of a gsx r conversion
My first bike was the DRZ. And I have gotten that bike places that a lot of people with "SEND IT" stickers on their YZ450's won't go. It's heavy, but it's a very capable bike.
Infact the reason I chose the DRZ is that it's the choice of the Australian Army and our national park rangers aswell. And if anyone knows rugged terrain it's those guys.
Jeremy McGrath's coach had him practice on a XR 100, a lesson we should all remember.
Tdubs are great. I liked how you finished with a simple air cooled thumper. Personally, I own a plated 01 XR250R and uncle owns a plated 08 CRF230. Both are awesome bikes. His bike shreds now he's put new suspension on it, lengthened the swingarm, moved back the foot pegs, and put a fmf header on it. I like plated dirt bikes better as dual sports from the factor come too heavy. My old XR250R (really a 277cc) will eat a CRF300L offroad and on road. Great content, KEEP the dual sport stuff coming!
I picked up a 2022 CRF450RL a few months ago. First dual sport and so far I’m loving it 👍
Teach us off-road skills in your own fun way! You got me onto sport bikes and then naked bikes, now gimme some dual sport content ❤️
Honda CB 500 X for $6,699 usd. Sure, you have to add a skid plate, brush guards, radiator guard, luggage rack, and panniers which will set you back another $2000. But man! What a great bike.
This feels like the same category as the KTM 390, definitely been looking at the CB500x as a starter bike, they are just not available in my country yet so guess im getting a CRF300L.
Thanks papa Yam🍠
Been riding mine for just over a year, my first ever bike. Haven't done a whole lote to it, but I love it
Yes. The Halfrica Twin.
Needs more ponies 🐴 Good for a new A2 adventure rider who is mostly on road tho.
@@jmfaria450 Haha!
Ok yammy, you got me bro. I’ve watched tons of your videos but this one made me subscribe just for the T-dub at the end. Could not agree more with all your pics and one day when I’m too old for my current fire breathing dual sport I’m going straight back to a T-dub! Made my whole day! Thanks bro keep ‘em coming👍
Tw200 was the 2nd bike I ever rode when I was taking my MSF course. The wide nobby rear tire and it’s retro styling really make it stand out from other motorcycles so much. You’re making me want one again Yam
except their time stamp at 12:49 has it as a Honda hahaha
@@americandude3825 idk if you’re referring to when he said “are Hondas too fast for you?” But the time stamp you’re referring to is a Yamaha. You can see it on the headlight
@@justinscott6049 no if you play it at 12:49 the “scroll” pops up and shows it as a Honda tw200
I enjoy my RE Himalayan off-road far more than on road but it seems relatively comparable and able to keep up with the lot of the budget bikes for a beginner adv bike.
Picked up a 22 Husqvarna FX450 to go with my son's 21 TE250i. He's got plates, barely ever sees road so I went the race 4t route. Surprised a week later I get a plate in the mail, gotta love Tennessee. No lights, turn signals, non. D.O.T tires. No problem 😊
New CRF300L owner here, and that tease has me excited for whatever you’re planning
there are a bunch of great bikes today in the dual sport/Adventure bike class thats for sure !! but the 890/901 ktm/husky platform is the performance king of adv bikes at the moment hands down no contest
I did my MSF course on a TW200 and had an absolute blast 😬
Love my 300L Rally
Love my KLR 650. I’ve had it just over 100mph with a 16 tooth. It’s a expedition bike. It should be in its own category. She’ll go anywhere you’re brave enough to take it. Most importantly, she’ll get you home at the end of the day.
I also have a 22 KLR and I love it. Admittedly I do wish it would have more power but hey I've had absolutely no problems with it.
I just don't like everything that needs to be done right off the showroom floor. They have had years to fix this and a redesign and YET they didn't address this.
Another cool thing about the KLR is the tank size. You can get up to 300 miles on one tank. You can get a 10 gallon aftermarket tank to do around 500 miles too.
My '22 KLR is an absolute brute. No, not fast. It just does whatever I feel like doing that day. Cruise down the soft powder of the beach? Easy. Take me 250 miles up to the next city on the freeway? Easy. Ripping wheelies around the property? Even easier. I even rigged up a little trailer for it to tow a gorilla cart for firewood. Absolutely wonderful do-it-all machine.
I had my KLR over 110 plenty of times. I transported 3 cases of beer on the back, Although not at same time. Over 30K on it and I love mine too.
Did my MSF course on a TW200 they supplied. Amazingly fun bike. Definitely want to get one one day.
Everything you did in your last riding video was real offroad, you did everything that I do.
Hey I'll take 2nd I love my dual sport 🤘🤘 building a mini adv out of it.
I've been on several multi hour road trips, absolutely love it
The Australian version of the TW200 is the AG200. Same engine and frame but you would not know it is the same bike. They still have the kickstarter although it is electric start also, and a carry rack on the back that can balance a bale of hay. They don't sell used because they are a farm bike and you run it until you kill it in 20-30 years.
Interesting south africa gets both the tw200 and ag200 the ag200 doesnt get the fat back tyre
@LxAxNxCxExR LOL, you would really appreciate it more if you were 20 miles from the nearest road and the battery was dead. I think the TW200 actually has all of the internal mechanism but just does not sell with the kick arm. What a waste.
@@niconieuw1824 I just really appreciate a bike that is as close to perfect for the purpose it is designed for, so the AG200 impresses me. I am seriously thinking about buying one new because it does impress me so much. what is it, a 30 year old platform that they can't improve on.
Honda AG-XR is pretty compelling for slightly less than the AG200, plus it has FI and looks like it came from this century
HONDA CB500X! I have owned this bike for almost 6 months and can take it anywhere. A little heavier than those on this list but I have not had a problem tossing it around (I am 6'2" 200lb tho). Such a great motorcycle to learn everything on.
I hope Honda is working on a parallel twin 600 based off of dual 300 cylinders...
@@BillKayNJ the new transalp maby? I think they want a slice of the T7 pie
@@doanrademeyer3180 I had not known about this platform, but Yes!
Update it with EFI, and some newer tech for suspension, and we might have a new middleweight contender.
@@doanrademeyer3180 - Honda is always late to the game and they are stuck in the past/overpriced.
Pappa yams your plethora of 2 wheel wisdoms you pass along to us seems ever more infinite with each video. Just got back from a trip up to the rockies and yellowstone on my freshly rejetted and muffled dr650 that now pulls dank nooners, trying to talk the mrs into trying a tw200 now. 🍻from Nacogdoches
Some of the best content I've seen has been from a t-dub. Great video. Do more.
I rode sportbikes for years and wanted to get into the dual sport scene. I purchased a new 22 KLX300. This bike is awesome. I have 9" Delkevic plus the EJK tuner installed and the bike can do it all. Single track no problem and cruising at 70mph on freeway no problem.
I’m looking into the klx300 I’ve have 1000 636 600 and.wanting to get into this myself,update? hows the bike treating you now?
@HAM DAMAN it's been a great bike. IMO, it's the best all-around dual sport to buy today. The bike has been very reliable with no problems. My only complaint is the small gas tank. I wish they made a larger aftermarket tank. They have one available, but it's only a 0.3 gallon upgrade, and it's over $400.
The stock headlight is horrible. I replaced it with the LED, cheap and easy to install.
I recently installed the pro-taper bars. I believe I got the CR High bend. You can't go wrong with the KLX300.
Out of the game since about 2008. Last bike was a 2000 (I believe) XR 650R for about 60/40 desert / woods riding. I like the SUZUKI 400 recommendation. That would likely make a fine bike to take me into retirement. I didn't need the 650 back then but the XR 400 was near it's end and slow. I did like the 650 - a little too big for me but it was a fun and fast tractor even with just the basic power up kit.
As a sportbike but dirt curious boi I have been waiting for this video
I totally agree with the height “issues”. I ride a 2017 crf 250 rally, I’m 5’6” and I can manage no problem! (I also weigh nothing, haha like 120 lbs)
I’m also exactly 5’6 120 and I’ve been wondering if I’d be able to get a klx or wr. I’d love to get onto a bike with a 36” seat height but idk if I can
Love these vids. Should make some more ADV vlog rides :)
I picked up a crf300l a few weeks ago. It is a damn good bike right out of the gate. It honestly does pretty good at single track and light hard Enduro. And it moves my 250lbs ass down the hwy at 70mph without issue.
Is the shock acceptable and manageable in light trails?
@@MonchingBueno at first it was ok. Now that the rear shock has broken in, it is way to soft for even a bumpy country road.
@@mattdyer489 thanks for the reply. appreciate it much!
Gonna get my BIG BOI license this summer, then upgrade my z400s to a 701 and finally be a real dual-sport MAN.
I just picked up a klx300sm and threw some dual sport tires on it. I love it. So much fun to explore around, especially places I'm not supposed to go. (it's nice and quiet)
How's the suspension on that one?
What tires did you put on?
I wish you lived closer so we could swap bikes for a ride, I kind of wish I went with a SM and dual sport tires
TW 200 is a god status bike. It won’t get you there fast but it will always get you there. It’s not meant to go off road, but rather to go off trail.
Papa will make any excuse to talk about the DRZ.
He doesn’t realize it yet but he’s actually a gixxer boi
Good video 👍. I picked up a street titled 98 WR400 cheap a while back to use for my off-road and have a '19 WR250R supermoto conversion for the street. Love my '98....it's a little heavy, and the kickstart procedure kinda sucks, but it's bulletproof. I'm going to lace up a set of 17" wheels for it using hubs from a spare wheel set I have.
YES! Love YammieNoob list vids. More... MORE!
Love it. But maybe you should do a video on some of the less considered alternatives -- like the AJP PR7 for instance (or is that basically unobtanium euroexotica over there?)
Just wanna say I love my 2019 klx250 camo 🔥🙏🏼
I absolutely love my CRF300l. It's true that you'll struggle to hit highway speeds but that's not what the bike was meant for. It's not a motocross bike either. But its perfect for beating the shit out of it in the woods, enduro trials, or wherever you can find to ride, then riding it home after.
Struggle to hit highway speeds lol. Mine does 154kmh and doesn’t struggle getting up to speed. Completely stock and now 7700kms on her. Useless off road unless you go slow
12:20 you had me at HJ machine
Dirtbikes are definitely selling quickly, I had to drive 10 hours to get a Yamaha xt250 but I hope to start a yt channel this summer with that and my mt03
I plated my KLX300R, and it's great.
i put a deposit on a 2021, 5 months later picked up and its a 2022! i held out for Team Green klx,,,, love the bike! i went dirt tires, main purpose,,, i have a 2020 Z900! lol
Interesting list...the great thing about the Harley is that you will definitely be most likely to have an adventure on when it fails or falls over...lolol
Or when you stall with a log or a rock underneath the bike and that hitech creme de la creme USP - "adaptive ride height" kicks in and you end up on the world's most expensive seesaw
Or maybe when the Pan America is working correctly enough to go to the trail…know from experience.
Also another great thing is it’s good for a half-inch penis enlargement without the surgery. At least in your mind..
I love this type of bikes
Been waiting a while for you guys to start on adv dual sports I ride a 94 honda xr650L it’s in smoged and I love it. How is your day going? Hope it’s good
2012-2013 R1200GSA for me. Trying to get my hands on a clean 90th anniversary model.
Yammie Noob is the Best motorcycle channel on TH-cam.
You mean Yamtube?
@@YTisDumb Yes, of course I hade totally forgotten. I’m sorry.
Bought a wr250r for my first bike for 3900 and I’m pretty happy with it, 30 hp around 300 lbs which is pretty comparable to the crf 300l or klx300 and mine has a 4.7 gallon aftermarket tank which isn’t an option yet for the new bikes
I got a wr450f, 230 lbs an 44 hp, it's often overlooked in the ADV crowd, I'm fully street legal in cali
My first 450 was a 55 hp crf450r. It was so fast. 300 is a bit small for the road though. I would like to see more twin cylinder 400s, 450s, and 500s. You can get a smooth 50 hp without the extreme torque and engine braking of the larger singles.
A perfect dualsport would be a cbr500r motor on a 450L frame.
Glad the KLR got a spot! But you might have to do a top 20 list next time to satisfy all the commenters.
I cruise 90mph on my 2022 KLR 650 on the freeway all day. I'm 265 pounds and it doesn't bat an eye. I used to ride a 07 R6 before this and the KLR is not that slow. You should probably ride the bike instead of assuming you know about it based on the previous generations.
My only experience is assembling one off of a shipping container but I think the 22 KLR 650 has much better cooling
Also the 2022 KLR goes faster then 75. Yammies wrong. Lol
Bastrop trails for the win!!! Need to get out there on my DRZ!
its completely illegal though :D
I still want to see Spike on a Tw200...
And here I am thinking about ADV-ing up my 701 SM by putting on some Shinko 705s or Michelin Anakee Adventure tires. Don't worry, I have no intentions of looking for any mud paths. xD Shame the 50/50 Dunlop Trailmax Mission tires don't come in the right sizes for my SM, would've loved to try a set of those.
Those tires are surprisingly good on road. Would be great on a sumo
LOL. My humble TW is blushing in the garage right now.
DR650 is also decent for 50/50 highway and dirt
Dr650.
DR650 S should of been on the list. i love mine and would never get rid of it.
I was really expecting you to give the Himmy an honorable mention after the Int 650 review caught your attention.
I do think you should give one a ride and see if it still matches your current review.
Heed my warning before the true Royal Enfield stans borrow the KLR uprising’s leftover farm equipment.
HIMMY GANG HIMMY GANG
all complaints about it can be silenced with the price tag
What about the Husq Vit? Can you use it for light off roading and save some money over the Ktm 390 adv?
my brother has a crf300l and i have a 250l rally. they r awesome bikes and for my around town and occasional off-road use its pretty perfect
I bought a 450 thinking it would be better around town than the 300. But now I’m thinking the 300 might of been the better option 😂. Especially when taking it off-road.
I went the 300 and I wish I went 450 lol. At least the 450 handles going off road at speed and handles rough off road where the 300 bottoms out and I’m 79kg (85kg max with gear)
12:20 Handj*b machines... 🤣
Yammie, you so funny man, you should be a comedian goddam...
leaving the crf1100 out of this list is a pretty big miss if else because it sits beween the t7 and the 1250/1290. I did not hear anything about the ktm 890 or the Nordern either, wich are strong adv contenders...
I went from a dirt bike boy and thought hmm a sport bike looks like fun and it was for the first 3 months till I took off the farrings making a skid plate and a proper 50/50 tire and shredded it that way for a year till I got my vstrom
Fun review I own a Kawasaki klx 300. Terrific bike right out of the box, including the suspension and seat but it is 8000 OTD. No dealer sells it close to MSRP
I started my motorcycle from motocross, anything more than 300c (even 4 stroke) is too much for off road if you are new.
I had a friend who is experience on street and want to try dirt. He bought a 450cc bike. I told him too much, but he brushed me off, because of my less experience on street. Next I know, he was in hospital due to an offroad accident. So bad, that he had to take a 6-month leave of absent from work to recover.
I wish people understood this. 450s have a ton of torque and they aren’t ready for it once they hit the dirt.
I daily my 98 300 and she just keeps trucking. Besides adding fuel injection nothing has really changed from the older kawis and they do literally everything you could ask. Glamis sand dunes? Sure. Hard Enduro? Why not lol. Hill climbs? Teaches you alot but does it. And then it gets you home afterwards every time
Ayyyy, my bike made the list. 🤘
I’m loving my klr650! Yeah, it’s underpowered for the size of its engine, my big knobby tires wander like hell on the highway (I previously had more street bias tires with no issues) and the suspension is softer than a baby’s butt, but it really is a do anything motorcycle.
Even with the soft suspension, I’ve been pleasantly surprised with how capable it is off road! I’ve taken it down pretty gnarly 4x4 trails that were rutted out like crazy and gotten up some stuff I honestly didn’t think the bike was capable of. It’s kind of a tractor.
People definitely undersell it in my opinion.
Check that oil. It's an oil burner at times.
@@Davido50 thank you for the tip.
Though, I’m well aware. I keep an extra quart on me at all times. Two quarts if I’m on a long road trip.
@@Davido50 the oil burner was 2008 model. The new klr doesn’t burn oil. Only if you going above 5k rpm’s. Like any bike
The KLR is a 1970's bike dressed like a dirt bike. The first time you take it off-road on anything rougher than packed gravel it's going to murder you. You would be just as well off on a Honda Goldwing with knobbies
@@MOEMUGGY
I take mine up and down pretty bad two track and dried rocky river beds almost every weekend here in CO.
Have you ever ridden one?
I’ve never met you, I’ve never seen you ride, but nobody I know who’s spent an extended period of time on a KLR would agree with you. Regardless of if they still own one or not.
If you have, then maybe you’re just not as good a rider as you think you are.
See also: RE Himalayan.
If you're poor, just go with a 200-350cc dual purpose used bike.
I'm 5'4" so my bikes are: TW200, XT225, DR650! I also picked up a non-running F650GS that I'll have lowered.
Loving my crf300 rally. 4k miles on it it texas hillcountry.
Who is that in the tar heel blue fly gear in the stock footage? Looking sharp! I like that fly gear. I like the tar heel blue on the Kawasaki green. Definitely get you seen
I wish i had trails near me. I have to sneak around on walking trails when no ones around which isn't very often. My poor wr250r spends most its time on the pavement 😔
I was pretty surprised there was not a Africa twin or a Triumph tiger 850 in the mix.
I've never ride a dirt bike/supermoto before but I really like the supermoto builds. I've used to own a Yamaha RX100 and I've ride duke 390 a lot and other motorcycles smaller than a duke 390. But somehow I really like a light weight super flexible bike I mean flickable bike like a RX100, but recently sold it. Now I'm thinking about building a supermoto based on a duke 390 but not just changing the tyres even build a new frame to keep it lighter. A 390 weighs around 180 kilograms. So everyone who ride a 390 and a sumo before , how would it be if a duke 390 engine in swapped into a sumo build like your sumo's engine is swapped with a duke 390 engine?
Yammie what would you say is the perfect weight on adventure bike, good to handle gravel roads in poor condition but but heavy enough for a high way ride with a windscreen for long distance riding with bagage. I'm short person only 5'8" aprox180 lbs.
I'm thinking of a Triumph tiger sport 850 perhaps?
Done 2 training sessions on riding motorcycles. (70 min each)
Looking for a first "does it all" motorcycle where i can try most things motorcycling, dual sports seems to be the way to go (correct me if im wrong?)
So far i only ridden mopeds (50cc) and the mike im currently taking my courses on (Suzuki DI-650 ABS)
Thx 4 the vid!
And any tips related to what motorcycle i could get as a first is appreciated!
(how to ride, not so much, at least until i got my license, the way one should ride for the courses here are very strict in how we have to ride)
Yammy why doesn’t the husky 701 get any mention? Also curious if you looked into it over the 501? Only wondering as I’m looking into getting back into the off-road game, but want something that can hit the tarmac for long distances & I’d think it’d be more capable of performing that task over a 501. Could be wrong, hope to hear your thoughts. Thanks!
He owns a 501
@@metalsadman He mentions the 690, essentially the same bike as the 701 with minor differences. I own a KTM EXCF 350 and a 690 enduro in rally trim. the 690/701 is heavy offroad even stock (I've got an added 4gal of fuel rally nav stuff as well) and definitely feels like it compared to the 500/501, and the 350 feels lighter and more agile even then (but is marginally lighter than the 500/501). IMHO 701 is a better bike if you're 70/30 road/dirt, mostly riding fire roads or BDR/TAT as "dirt". The 501 is really great for desert riding or ultralight 10/90 road/dirt ADV where you can have 50 to 100 mile straight aways to blast at 70-90mph on. The 350 is a better all around bike as its harder to whiskey throttle the bike to infinity on more technical terrain, but its lacking punch in stock form compared to a stock 500, after some mods a 350 can make ~45hp. I did LAB2V last year, and I will probably again this year, and I am still happy to ride it on my coked out KMT 350 EXCF, I won't ride my 690 on that ride. If you are looking for a cheaper ~330lb ADV bike check out the AJP PR7, outside of the 690/701 the PR7 the only thing in that weight range with any kind of punch but its lacking that compared to the 690/701. Look for @RTWpaul on youtube or insta for more details on ADVing a ktm excf 500.
Been trying to get a CRF300L Rally for over a year now, shits just hard to come by, especially in a popular off-roading scene in Vegas lol.
I really recommend trying one or plan on replacing suspension before you take it off road (tyres also replace). I got the crf300L (abs) so I know how dangerous it is off road at speed. (Unless gravel roads the Honda is not good stock) At the price though there isn’t anything better. I’ve sold mine after 8000kms (154kmh top speed) and now looking for a ktm 300 exc (Erzberg if I can find one new) so I can enjoy pushing off road whilst still being road legal. I really loved the Honda on road being honest but not on anything rough off road
I'm enjoying the new content, but I have a question: how come the Royal Enfield Himalayan wasn't on this list? It'll go on road and off. It also offers a lot of value.
They cant list all the bikes. Then the video would not be so short and speed up, so we cud learn something about this. Instead of racing true, get as fast as possible to the end.
Bring back the DT 200 Liquid cooled 2 stroke & DT 230 two perfect bikes.
KTM 890 Adventure R. No other ADV comes close. Perfect amount of power and top shelf suspension.
@alex k LOL if that was true.... Is a very good bike, and that is what it is, nothing more.
Ahoy! My dr200 was too much machine for this list. Actually, pretty good comprehensive list overall. I just need you to learn the word V-Strom and say it even if it's to trash it.
V-Strom! 🤣
I almost got a pan America but I wasn’t a fan of the payments, it was dressed out with the hard bags and all that jazz. I’m currently on a iron 1200 and had a 103ci Street glide before that. That 150HP sounds fun.
Budget king are the china dualsports, hawk 250s, magicians, tbr7/tb7d and the tt250 every last one is less then 2000$ shipped to your door, granted they are only 15-18hp...
What's y'all's opinion on the F750GS
Hey guys Im thinking of upgrading from a klx250s to a wr450f are there any other better options or downsides I should be aware of
Proud owner of a 300l❤
Question! So; if you had to push highway speeds for an hour to get to the dirt; is that in the realm of dual sport; or do you go Adv
drz400 has Excellent torque, definitely tall......but it's a good mid-weight rocket!
I have a drz400sm and struggle to find a better dual sport. I put offroad tires on my sumo wheels
KLX300! Thanks. EVERY head to head between it and the CRF300L picks the KLX for it's better suspension yet every 10 best list picks the CRF and doesn't even mention the KLX. Go figure. Personally when I make a suggestion it's KLX300/CRF300, as if they're one bike that comes in different colors, but I did pick green!
I was going back and forth between these two bikes. I really like them both, but the suspension on the KLX is what finally separated it from the Honda. I was able to pick one up with the camo plastics and it’s been a head turner. Add to the fact, it’s a blast to ride on and off road.
I got the crf300la in Australia because the Kawasaki isn’t road legal.
, hence being a useless off road bike with that weight
So when do we get to see you carving up the roads on meteor 350’s?
