[QUOTE="bmac, post: 111678, member: 1720"] The typical gravel road out west is not maintained to any degree and would be difficult for any road bike. You will spend all of your time going slow and looking at the road ahead and not much else until you stop for a break or fall over whichever comes first. I would suggest that if you are taking the FJR do not plan on taking any non-paved road. If you have your heart set on those roads take a different bike, an enduro would be the appropiate choice. I don't believe that a V-Strom would be a good choice either. It is still too heavy to handle rough roads. The pictures in this thread so far are not representative of what you will find in Colorado from my experience. I can't speak for the other areas mentioned. [/QUOTE]
