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...
Touratech has tank conversions for the 800 & 650 (twin) that will increase the fuel capacity to 9.5 gallons. It is not on their website yet but it is in their catalog.
