Dual Sport/adventure tourer...being a more multipurpose, I think it would meet more of my needs than one of the others alone...unlike ebbs tho, I would prefer a multicontinent!

:lol:

I meant what I said... multicontent... ie road... dirt... road... snow... dirt... mud... road... ect.. :lol:

I say motard just because it is so versatile and so fun. It can handle a lot of off road, only time mine gets squirrely is in really deep mud or deep sand, and thats with contisport's. And sooo much fun on tight twisty roads, that someone may have all around them.

Only downfall is they are definitely not sport tourers :)

dual sport

Exactly what she said :D

Motard no question.

You can slap a set of nobbys on there is you want to off road it.

Motard...for the smile factor.

I picked dirt because I miss riding trails, but dual sport would work as well.

I don't know much about motards, but I wouldn't think it would be suitable for offroad use anymore if you actually set the suspension up for street use. You could leave the dirtbike suspension, but you would sacrifice street performance for the versatility.

My vote would go to a serious motard if there was a good place to use it. The small tank prevents you from going too far from a gas station at any given time, and the infestation of the gap makes having such a narrowly focused bike less desirable. Maybe you could pick up a motard and club race it fairly cheaply in between street use.

If you have someplace you like to ride off road, a dirtbike. If not probably a KTM Motard/dual sport of some flavor.
