I've read that the Sherpa is the smoothest-running of all the 250 dual sports, that it cruises at 70 mph even easier than the liquid-cooled KLX. That said, I would still avoid the expressway whenever possible. Such speeds are obviously not within any of these bikes' comfort zones.

I like the looks of the XT best:



The Sherpa has better build quality, apparently. Things that are bare or painted steel on the Yamaha are stainless on the Kaw.
