Adventure Sport category is road bikes charading as dual sport!!

I owned a Suzuki DL 1000, so I can't claim I wasn't stupid enough buy an adventure tour bike Sure, it is a NICE engine on the road, but with a frame design lacking in road performance. At the same time the bikes are heavy, and this is a major liability when the road turns loose or muddy

Hard pack, fine, but that's about it. Fall over on the trail, and you may have to wait for help picking it back up!

The DL650 was a better idea, but the OEM tires are road tires. Don't let anyone fool you! This new CF Moto is a heavy road bike, and expensive too!
