Which Dual Sport Motorcycle is right for you?

Another important consideration is how hard it is to use offroad. I've chosen wisely as mine is quite hard to use on rough stuff.

yes it is
Causing me pain is a sport after all.
I can relate to the picking up the bike video.
That time I rode in the soft stuff for a day, the bike got very heavy after the sixth drop and felt like it was made of lead by the tenth.

See?
I chose wisely
.
I followed the "how to lift a motorcycle" tutorial EXACTLY* the last time my DR fell over
.
*except for the "hornswaggling".
