Looking at buying my first dual sport bike for on and off road use. Never owned one but have experience with off road bikes (years ago) and currently ride a 2014 Ninja 1000.
I love my street bike so I'm not getting rid of it. What I want is something I can ride on the street but take off on trails here and there. Not looking to spend more than 3k and I have found a nice 01 DRZ400 or a nice 09 KLX 250. The DRZ is set up with 17" road tires and the KLX is ready to go off road. Is the KLX too small for steer use if I wanna travel 100 miles to get off road? Just looking for some input from experienced riders.
