Dual purpose motorcycle question ???
I'm thinking on getting a dirt bike and have a few questions. I wanted a motocross bike, but with the maintenance they require and due to the fact that I'm not going to be racing, I have changed my mind. I'm thinking of a dual purpose bike that I can ride on the street or trail. I currently own a 1999 Kawasaki KLR 650, and my questions are :
1. Do these bikes need to be rebuilt as much as the motocross bikes?
2. Which bike is best offroad?
3. Can you put alot of mileage on these bikes before a tear down?
4. Can you carry a passenger on any of them. This is my least important question
If you own one give me some insight on the model and brand you ride.
1. no, I've seen these bikes with 100K miles on them w/o a major rebuild. (my KLR only has 25K)
2. depends on where you want to go. I've ridden mine on single track trails in the mountains, through creeks, etc.. It's heavier than a normal dirt bike so crossing over fallen trees and stuff can be a bit of a challenge, but you can go just about anywhere if you're really determined and skilled enough for it.
3. see answer 1
4. yeah mine has passenger pegs, never carried one though.
