What Dual Sport Motorcycle is Right for Me
That is a good question that doesn’t really have a perfect answer.
A dual sport bike is actually designed to be able to perform in two different environments and therefore is unable to be perfect for either.
The “Best” Dual Sport is really relevant to your needs and varies from person to person.
So You Need to Ask Yourself
What do I plan to do with my street legal dirt bike?
What amount of time am I going to spend riding paved roads and highways verses dirt roads and trails?
Will I ride mostly pavement with an occasional dirt ride or will I ride more an even amount of each?
How much money do I have to spend?
Can I buy a new dual sport or should I buy used?
What are my riding skills and physical abilities?
Am I an experienced rider or am I just starting out?
What are my physical attributes as far as height, weight, strength and stamina?
For a dual sport to best fit you needs you have to answer the above questions the best you can.
Conclusion
If you plan to spend most of your ridding time on dirt trails and more difficult terrain you should have a straight dirt bike as a second machine.
Also be prepared to be flexible and willing to change bikes as your skills improve or your needs change.
