are all the TOURING Dual sports that big? or just the BMW's?
The Key word is adventure Touring, and the GS is heavy even for its class .. I lust after the KTM 990 Adventure.. Regardless of weight this is a Very
fun class of bike The high ride height long suspension travel and sport bike motors make them insanely fun to ride and opens up lots of new places to ride. The bike I most regret selling (while not quite in the same class) is my 04 V-Strom 1000. there was road that wasn't fun to ride on.
