Looking to buy a duel sport/adventure bike when I get back from a work thing come September. Looking at klr650 vs BMW f800gs.

Any other honorable mentions? Looking for above 600cc and not a liter class. Average rider.

Do a lot of log trails and sand. Like to ride to trails and ride bike.

Thanks for any input.

The ones you posted are heavy, not good for trails and sand
The xt is a bit lighter

Either of these are lighter than my dodge diesel. Tired of the winching madness and endless battle to get nubbier tires.

I haven't looked at any Yamaha's though. Appreciate the heads up. Do you own any? What kind of terrain are you hitting?

I'm picking up what you're saying about the klr. Looks like a fun toy. Not a serious overland/trail bike.

I'm leaning pretty hard towards the BMws

Any thoughts on the Super Ténéré aside from the dumb name?

What's wrong with a Honda XL?

Husqvarna tr650. Fun single with good power and torque. The only downside is that it was discontinued
