Dual Sport

Dual Sport motorcycles, like Adventure motorcycles, try and do a bit of everything. But where Adventure bikes are usually more street biased than dirt, Dual Sport bikes are the opposite. Being street legal, they are the perfect bike to ride to a nearby trail or fire road and then go off-roading. However, with their narrow seat and general lack of accoutrements, they aren’t well-suited for longer street rides.

Pros: Versatile road-legal bike with some real off-road chops. Low entry price point. Durable.

Cons: Not well-suited for longer highway trips. Single cylinder engine not the smoothest. No real convenience/luxury features.
