I have a klx230 and love it and have 8k miles. This is just another version of it, dual sport category. But labels don't matter.. If you like the features of it, get it. Solid bike, I can attest.

Not all of us live where trails are huge and open and have a place to ride 650 plus giant heavy adventure bikes.

Just picked this bike up 2 weeks ago on sale. It's exactly what I'm looking for. I probably won't be able to ride it till spring because I got two hip replacements 1 in may and one on Aug 24th but I am hyped. Wish there were more accessories but it is new for this year so I can wait

Genuinely would love one of these as a first dual sport. Almost feels like a tw with that big rear tire and the built in protection is encouraging as a new rider to try taking it anywhere

I turn 70 this year and have a DR650 set up for ADV riding. I am seriously considering this bike. My riding has changed and would like a bike to easily pick up when I drop it. Still love my DR.....but.

I look at this and see an updated old school duel sport like the KLR 250 was back in the 80’s and early 90’s. <br><br>The adventure bike segment hard core people are getting annoying with crapping on everything that can’t trek 1000 miles a day and Doesn’t have a $5,000 suspension with every electronic feature known to man. <br><br>Manufactures need to make bikes that are both affordable and rider friendly. This entire hobby like so many others has forgotten this.

Dang. They had me until no gear indicator. Just one of those things I got used to riding my Grom around.
