hi guys....would really appreciate some advice from the dual sport veterans.
heres my situation....ive been riding roadbike for about 25 yrs and really would like to get into off road/dirt road riding...im in toronto and would like to ride in areas like the ganny and northumberland etc. thing is i dont have the space and finances for a vehicle that can tow and a trailer...so i was thinking of getting a street legal drz400s or xr650l and using it to ride around town and go out on weekends to the trails..
i was just wondering , how feasible is this ? is riding out to dirt trails from the city for 1 or 2 hours,doing the trails and riding home being realistic ?
is there a suitable tire choice for riding on pavement AND dirt or are tires too biased for either on or off road ??
is there anything else i should consider ?
or should i just hold off until i can get set up to trailer a bike to the riding areas ??
thanks very much for reading !!
