2008 Dual-Sport Motorcycle Comparison - MotoUSA

guys the KLR might have a good motor but it is just horrrrribly looking motorbike .. sorry I had to say that :))

they are missing the best bike the suzuki dr 650

Wich would be the best for a 1.92m 100kg guy for mostly in town,decently (2-300km) journeys in 1 go and thus won't vibrate and fill comfortable (for rider and engine) cruising at 120-140km/h but could go on the unpaved roads,shortcuts and easy mountain trals ?

x bmw sucks off road

OMG motorcycle USA came a long way (video quality and sound quality). great reviews tho

I might have said iteration, but perhaps the kids say incarceration these days.

Ha ha the narrator said the latest Kawasaki KLR "Incarceration"..  I think he meant incarnation.  Unless he's trying to tell ppl that the KLR feels like your trapped.

He said "this years incarceration.." I guess you don't need to know the meaning of words to write motorcycle reviews. Just make shit up to sound good.

DEBATE PLEASE:
I'd like to get a first dual sport bike here soon. My requirements are:
Highway capable, but not dedicated highway commuter. 
Enough space and power for storage units. 
Very off road capable, but nothing extreme like jumping. 
Low ball budget. 

I am 5'10" and 150lbs, long arms and legs. 

Some options I'm looking at are the DR, KLR, and XR. Maybe DRZ, but I think for maximum reliability I want air-cooled only (opinion can be changed). Please add any other bikes I should consider, and give me your choice if you were in my shoes and why!  :)

No DR650? Guess it would probably make the new improved KLR look bad. That would be embarrassing considering the DR hasn't changed since 96.

That bmw looks like a street bike. how is that even a dual sport? who thought that would be able to handle offroading? horrible suspension travel. street tires. no engine protection...thats just a street bike someone decided to call a dual sport. if only honda would bring back the xr650r with e start it would be the king of dual sport just like it was the king of baja

i guess the KTM can beat them all 

What about the DR650???

i doubt they named it the "ecks-country".
try cross country.

What was that at 2:06 ? 

This year's incarceration? 

Were you trying for incarnation? 

This is perhaps the worst review I've ever seen. Also, the KLR is the best because its a Kawasaki.

The best XR!

xr650r !!!!!!!!!!! is top of the class .

dr 650 sm!
