Dual sport. BMW GS650 or the 800

See I would enjoy a Motard but I have discovered literally hundreds of miles of county roads and fire trails here in teh Ozarks that I am dying to see. They lead to some real dramatic and awesome scenery, but a motard wouldn't have the range or carrying capacity I would. I would also commute on the thing as my Ninja hates 30 mph city traffic...

Silvers better

Clarke makes replacement gas tanks that will give you 1-2 extra gallons plus you can get fender mounter gas cans that you can take with you if you plan to ride for longer than a tank of fuel will last.

Well if you want a Tard, you know where you can by a DRZ cheap enough to afford the motard mods.

I said motard, because I love mine. Grab a set of Conti tard-knobbies and they'll do pretty well off road too. That having been said I plan to buy a big dual sport sometime in the next few years because the KTM is too nice to flog in the dirt.

Come on, the Orange was made to get dirty!

DRZ! I even considered selling my 10 to get one, just because I can't keep 2 bikes around right now.

She got plenty dirty last time I took her to JGP, I had an "issue" with T10.

I know a few people who have SuMo's and dirt them, and their bikes always seem a little beat-on. I don't want to beat the snot out of mine.

I voted Motard, just because.
