Best dual sport bike for the street?

[Thumper]

I don't know where you are finding any dual purpose motorcycles in the entire world under 200lbs with 6 speed transmission.

I have a KTM 2-stroke that came with no battery, no lights, no STARTER, NO VALVES in the compact head, and a teeny motocross circuit race/heat scaled gas tank. It has Takasago aluminum wheels, everything is aluminum alloy other than spokes, bearing races/bearings, internal engine components, and nuts/bolts which are generally stainless steel. Even the Brembo brake pistons and calipers and wheel hubs are cast aluminum alloy. This is state of the art stuff and I can tell you it performs as such. But it weighs 225 lbs. It DOES have two radiators since it is a liquid cooled engine, and they are also alloy construction. The entire cooling circuit employs less than 3 lbs of coolant.

Off road, the KTM is nimble, and stiff/taught, with exceptional braking and ultralight clutch, shifting like butter. I don't think it is heavy at all. I can do a wheelie drop turn (180 degrees) in single track. And the front wheel is strong enough to handle it. Light weight. High end performance. I've never owned a bike with these capabilities before this KTM 250SX.

So I DON'T like taking it on the road. It is TOO LIGHT. Sure, it will get me to the trail on two lane stuff, but I'd be a fool to expect more road-worthiness.

You are seeking a motorcycle made of unobtainium. It doesn't exist, not from Japan, not from Austria, not from Canada, and certainly not from China.

You will have to compromise on weight, or features.
