while it might be an awesome woods bike, it is a lousy DS bike--small tank, not street legal, no easy way to carry bags, etc.

DualSports suck. They do nothing well. Gimme a specialized piece of equipment anyday.

Not interested at all. Too specialized in that is is trying to be a jack of all trades but will be weak in the woods. Yeah I am sure it will climb good, but at 200 lbs, might as well be on a 250/300 or a 165 kitted 125. I see this as one of those bikes you ride alot at the start and then loose interest and then it sits in the garage, for me anyway.

If I could only own one bike it would be this bike or the X-ride I have......Who am I kidding...own one bike , sounds like a bad dream

They shred the backroads and let you dive off into the woods when you see a trail or dirt road well. Specialized equipment doesn't give you the freedom to explore like that.

Some of us can't own multiple bikes, but like to not drive a cage everywhere too. I'm seriously thinking of selling my baby KLR until I pay off some stuff and can buy a more specialized dual sport

Unless I'm looking at it wrong, that link is for the 2 stroke Freeride, for the guys referencing Sam's - doesn't he have the Freeride E (electric)? I don't see mention of the E coming...
Seems like the 2 stroke version aims to improve rideability and smooth out power delivery, the kind of stuff Kyler was complaining about I guess.

You just made me laugh; but then I got real scared people might start thinking I am Sam....
