I'm looking to get a dual sport bike and came across a kawasaki klx 650 for a decent price. if i get the bike I want to be able ride on and off the road. I was wondering if anybody has owned one and there opinion on the bike.

I only knew one person who had one and he loved it

Nick, my RMZ450 was a really nice bike with power like you couldn't imagine anytime you wanted. But, it was whenever I tore the rear hub out of it down at Chadwick, MO on our last trip there that I honestly realized it was just way too much power and weight for the type of riding that I really enjoy doing.

I am much hapier with my CRF250R that I can throw around, but still have the necessary power to climb just about anything I have the cahunas to climb.

the reason I'm looking at a dual purpose is that I can drive it to work and back. which is four miles from my house. I was going to just get a dirtbike and make it street legal, but I've heard it's hard on them since they are not setup to drive at higher speeds for a long period of time.
