Even trail riding is more work than track/street riding to me because you rarely get to sit.

Personally I will keep a track bike and i want a dirt bike. Motard combo idea isn't my preference.

LOL goody this means you don't ever need to ride mine then! :P

I think most motard owners don't take theirs offroad. Around here we have a couple of kart tracks that open themselves up to motard days which is fun, cheap, super easy trackdays. I only ride mine in the dirt as a backup when someone else's dirty breaks and I give them my KTM. It will get around a trail, but once you see sand it's over. I wouldn't buy a motard if I was planning on using it like a dirt bike unless I had a 2nd set of wheels, they're too heavy and have too little grip on anything soft.
