[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 1364793, member: 3828"] Yamaha doesn't make a street legal dual sport bigger than the 250cc WR250R ($6,699 msrp). They are missing a big segment of the US dual sport market: Old guys that want to relive their dirt biking youth. And, we are mostly too big and heavy to get away with the torque of a li'l two fiddy engine. I tried to love a WR250R I owned for a few months. It just did not have enough grunt That leaves the Suzuki DR650SE ($6,499, 366 lbs), Honda XR650L ($6,899, 346 lbs), and the DRZ400S ($6,599, 317 lbs). The ~ 400cc dual sport spot is a sweet one, and one only hit by Suzuki, unless you are willing to spend orange money. [/QUOTE]
