BMW and Motto Guzzi both make a 1000cc+ shaft drive DS bike,
I don't consider bikes like the BMW GS a Dual Sport. Those bikes are "adventure tourers" capable of riding down a dirt or gravel road, but certainly not dirt bikes in the cow trailing sense. They are quite versatile tourers, but not DS bikes. The are just street bikes with a little more suspension and sometimes a bash plate or crash bars. The crash bars WILL come in handy if you get carried away and start thinking you can follow an XR400 down a trail.
