[QUOTE="BanjoBoy, post: 1435699, member: 19829"] I would think an MT10 would be better in the dirt, 'n a fenda extenda would prolly help w/ the radiator/oil cooler. Ridden my FJR on many a dirt road, 'n the only problem I've had is like you; turn'in the pig around at a dead end. Wet, slimy mud always gives me pucker moments too. I used to ride w/ this little Asian dude, who'd pull nose first into a street parking spot, (The rest of us would back in do to road crown.) and when we'd leave, he'd just pivot his CBR1000 on the side stand, 'n spin it 180, 'n ride out. The FJR would prolly snap off or bend the side stand butt an MT10 could prolly do it? Got an FZ6 for dirt back in '12, butt sold it last year 'n got a Z400 ABS. In the end, what works good on the street is gonna suck in the dirt; maybe you need a Tenere? Me rail'in the FZ6 in sum dirt. 😁 [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/JpMwSjq.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
