Dual/sport, but none of those big bikes. I would get a used Suzuki DR650.

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!

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.
