I ride a lot of slab to off road trails and then all around the trails and then back home via the slab. I am running my trusty "mule" my 06 kawi KLR650 What bikes are you guys using for this and do you have any pics? I put 117 miles on the MULE yesterday, I was riding on some horse trails in the mud. | ||

Did it on a KLR-250 for a year... now I have a KDX-200 that is dedicated for dirt only. If the trails were closer to me, I might go back, but for me there were just too much expense and too many compromises for the dual sport. In Ohio though I can plate the KDX pretty easily. I'm tempted some days... | ||

I used a 1980 XL500S Honda till I got the Uly. Now I stay on the pavement. | ||

have been riding an xr650l since 1994. still think it's a great bike, lusting after the newer models that are so much lighter(ktm, husky, aprilia etc). of all types of riding dual sport is still my all time favorite. mike | ||

I take my Uly pretty much anywhere I can take a KLR as long as it's dry. | ||

Not really a Dual-sport but I went up a few teeth F/R on a CRF450X and rode 1100 miles on the U.P. of Michigan. The bike did great with only minor problems. Photos here: http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=58 4986&page=4 The sand was super fun.  | ||

Honda XR650L. I think this was probably my all time favorite bike. With the big plastic desert tank on it, she could ride forever across the boonies.  | ||

01 Honda XR650L is my on/off weapon of choice.   | ||

I ride the CityX off pavement every week, I need something lighter and more nimble for the single track | ||

That is where I started, and that is what led me to a Uly. My first bike was a '73 Honda XL250. What a pig. I learned a lot about falling down on that bike. It sure was tough though! A Yamaha TT500 with lights, for a couple of years in '78 - '79. A couple more XL 250's, and I have an '86 XL 250R staring at me now, wanting it's upper engine put back together. | ||

Here's my dualsport. 2002 Yamaha WR426 made street legal here in Colorado. Good on the trails and road.   | ||

Until recently, hadn't ridden one in a long time (err....decades... ...used to call them "enduros"). One location where I teach in the tundra uses a half dozen or so for training bikes, and man, I'm grinnin' like a darn fool when I finish doing demos on them. Me likey! I wish the motorcycle fairy would drop a couple in my drive way  . | ||

If I can sell my S1, I want a DR-Z400SM. |
