I dual sport my '11 300 all the time. me doing 200 mile loops is common, try to keep it 90%
dirt though.



Would love to buy a '14 GG, but no bigger fuel tank is holding me back,
looking at KTM's [gasp] since there is a 5.3 gallon tank available.

Most of us UK'ers who 'Greenlane' (Use legal to use old tracks / unpaved roads) to get our off-road kicks) HAVE to dual-sport effectively, as we need to use the tarmac roads to join up these Green-lanes.

These Greenlanes are pretty sparse in my part of the UK, but typically a Sunday ride for us is around 100 miles. Half of that being Tarmac.

I've got mine geared on 14/48. Any bikes cruising speed depends on how mechanically sympathetic you are to some degree. I find mine cruises comfortably at 45mph.....50mph if we are getting a lick-on and need to be somewhere in a 'hurry', and i have seen 75-80mph ping up on the speedo when i gave it a burst down a hill once.

On tarmac i try to be a little smoother in general, but especially with the gear-changes to give the gearbox an easier time. Particulaly on downshifting.

exactly...

3.2 gallon is the smallest I like to run.

Rumor has it that Clarke is working one for the new frames...

I am moving to Idaho this summer, would like to do the T1, the 3.2 wont cut it.
