I've suddenly caught the dual sport bug and I'm scouring for a cheap entry level bike to get me going, main bike is a Bonneville that I'll never sell - so this is a side toy, insurance is only $200 a year to add a 200-400cc bike. Doubles for a 650cc and I don't particularly want the big guy.
Now the wrinkle is I'm 6'1" 220lbs lol. Am I crazy to consider these small bikes, for reference I rode a Ninja 250 for the first 4 years riding including to the Cabot trail and back. What I'm hoping is you guys will tell me it's a similar situation - people that haven't ridden them poopoo them, but totally doable kinda thing.
Main use will likely be fire roads and secondary roads putting Around and exploring, but I'd like to hit some trails too.
Thanks guys!
