Question Dual Sport
I want to sell my TTR225 and get a dual sport since the gas for my daily driver (Ford Raptor) is getting expensive.

Do you guys have any recommendations?

I've been looking at Yamaha's (idk I like Yamaha for some reason), but the WR250R/X is kinda expensive for what it is. I do want one that is well balanced for both street and off road use. I'll be using this mostly on the road probably 5 days a week and off roading every other few weeks. I also want something that is capable of freeway speeds about 70mph or so. I'm not really into speeding. But I've read that the 250's should not be going that fast? Not sure how true that is...

Kawasaki KLX250S is looking like the best bet here. Can anybody speak on the quality of these bikes?
