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.

Being you might add another bike to your garage I'd go with a true dual sport. A small one at that. Something like a 200 to a DRZ400. I've heard a lot of dualers say the smaller duals are better for trails than the 650s and up. But with the small duals you can go on some very tough forest trails but still pop out on the road for a bit without getting a ticket.

If you only had one bike and good funds I'd get something like a BMW GS800.

One of the Dumbest things I have done in the past 5 years was in 05 I bought a left over 04 VStrom I rode it about everywhere there was a path. (It was by no means in the same class with the KTM of the BMW nor at $6800new was it any where near as pricey) I bout the busa in July and the wife started to vetch about insurance cost, so when a guy came down the drivey and offered $6800 I took the money. It was a great ride anwhere hose it off and head out again bike.

bmw 1200GS is my freakin' dream bike. I'd have one in the garage but we're putting every penny away for a house.
