I've been doing some random Internet wandering and have become intrigued by the dual-sport/enduro bikes. Is anyone else familiar with these types of motorcycle?
Skutch's post led me to doing some YouTube video searches, and they do seem like fun bikes. If anyone has model recommendations, or any information about this type of bike, I'd appreciate it as well.
One of the guys I work with used to ride a dual sport to work. His shift would end, he would hop on, and be on his way. It seemed like a fun bike, but I live in an urban environment and am not sure I would be able to utilize the other/off-road aspect of the bike as much. I'm kicking myself for not trying out the dual sport that was available at my training course.
I'm not sure what it is, but the dual sports do seem like a lot of fun. I was smiling openly while watching the videos on YouTube. For some reason, they remind me of a "pick up and go" bike, which is alluring to me for reasons unknown to me.
It's my impression that dual sport/enduro bikes are of the minority in the area I live and am searching listings for, so I'd really appreciate any sort of feedback about the bikes, whether it be in regards to pricing, brand, or recommended engine power. It's possible there are more available than I've seen, and I'm just not using the right search terms or model names, so any assistance would be great.
