Death of the Dual Sport?
We buy things we don't need
With money we don't have
To impress people we don't even like

Re: Death of the Dual Sport?
Ooh! A crf500l has me mouth watering.
I'm in antalya, Turkey at the minute Steve.
Taxi into town last night, I always keep an
Eye out for what bikes are about, mostly
Scooters as you would expect, but was chuffed
To see 3 klr650's thought of you instantly.
They looked old as, and battered to bits but
Obviously still providing good service to their
Owners. Great bike! Built to last!

absolutely, not really 'news' here . Husky 701 and SWM 650 only compliant dual sports thumpers available now I think.SteveR wrote:Good watch, cheers!
However old news, as the "Thumpocalypse" has already happened in the UK and Yurrup...

Love those DR's, Sarge! (thumbs)
Real shame about the supposed death of these great dual sport machines. Been having a lot of fun with my XF650 recently, I do love the character of a big thumper. My recent trip to Ireland, she did 70 - 75 mpg and never missed a beat. Despite her bias for the tarmac, she still likes to have the odd meander on a dirt trail.

Re: Death of the Dual Sport?
Hello Gents, bizarrely I have just bought a CRF250L to do the same conversion as three others have done so far using a CBR500 twin engine. If you go on ADVrider and check out the build thread of this guy you'll see why I went for it also....

Great concept.....
