ual sport has changed. Once ruled by relatively inexpensive and softer-
performing versions of dirt bike's elite motocross and off-road racehorses,
the dual-purpose bikes of the past were a fringe of off-road premium, not
the mainstream of price or the tip-of-the-spear of performance we have today.
For the way most people want to, or will, use a dual sport bike, the now aging
street-legal performers of DR-Z, KLR, CRF, XR, XT of all displacements are per-
fectly fine. They go off-road just fine. They go on-road just fine. They are insanely
dependable and durable, and you'll tire of them before they tire out. They're fine.
Everything is fine. Like a marriage. It's fine.
