@sirhcskoorb - what bike would you suggest for a dual sports? I will ride mostly around town but I want to go off-road during the weekends. I am 5,3in high and 108lbs. I need a short bike and light. Thanks Patricia

@poet79ful Go up a tooth or two on the front sprocket, or down one or two in the rear...Going up in the front would be much more drastic change from the dirt for increasing highway speed, and lowering those rpms for your highway cruising speed. Good luck. Keep in mind if you plan on getting busy off road, you'll want to find a happy medium.

@poet79ful This bike will do 65 pretty well, but not uphill. 70 is easy downhill. It's not fun on the highway at all.

Plus I wouldn't buy any bike to "save money", $4K will fuel your car or cbr 600 for a years.

I got it to play on dirt roads, trails thru the woods, crossing logs and streams, twisty back roads, etc. On the forums people say they do 100 mile rides wide open throttle, have 20K miles and their bike runs great. You can't harm these motors.

The hand guards and rear rack are pricey extras on the honda, not stock.
