Dual sport. BMW GS650 or the 800
See I would enjoy a Motard but I have discovered literally hundreds of miles of county roads and fire trails here in teh Ozarks that I am dying to see. They lead to some real dramatic and awesome scenery, but a motard wouldn't have the range or carrying capacity I would. I would also commute on the thing as my Ninja hates 30 mph city traffic...
