I'm interested in getting another dual sport bike.
I had a 99 XT350 but due to my size and weight (5'6" - 140lbs) if it didn't start in about 6 kicks I was just about spent. I knew that an hour into a ride, covered in mud somewhere in the bush I might be in trouble.
I'm still looking to get another bike but I think it needs to (OK it must) have E start. As much as I like the thought of owning the classic go anywhere 650KLR I'm pretty sure the bike is too heavy and too tall. I'm thinking more 250-400. Any suggestions for what I should be keeping an eye out for on Kijiji?
Also just so I have this straight green plates are insured for strictly off road and blue plate is both on /off.
Thanks.
