im looking at getting a dual-sport for daily riding when i get my license.
tonight my dad took me to the bike shop to look at some.
i found a couple that i liked.
first is the yamaha WR250X
http://www.yamaha-motor.com/sport/products/modelhome/596/0/home.aspx
would a 250 be big enough for riding on the streets, enough power?
second would be the suzuki DR-Z400SM
http://www.suzukicycles.com/Products/DRZ400SMK8/Default.aspx
i think this would be the better one to get because its a 400, and i know my 400ex can get up to 65 mph+, so im sure a dirtbike could do more.
the third choice would be the Honda XR650L
http://powersports.honda.com/motorcycles/off-road/model.asp?ModelName=XR650L&ModelYear=2008&ModelId=XR650L8
not sure i like this bike so much, its over 100 lbs heavier than the others, and i dont think that it would be able to hit the dunes.
what are your thoughs on these bikes, and do you have any suggestions?
Thanks
mike
