"The crf250 and 300 are great bikes, and we have one of each."
"Honda CRF300L as it has the best aftermarket support and mods available."
"Best dualsport out right now in my opinion."
"Crf450l, crf300l rally,"
"CRF300L"
"For the money it is going to be hard to beat."
"Honda crf300l rally is a solid choice."

"Its a tried and true design that basically hasn't been changed for 30 years."

"A KLR 650, DR 650, or XL 650 would work well."
"The KLX 300 will take you anywhere you wanna go."
"It's bulletproof. Affordable and single tracks like a beast."
"I ended up getting a used KLX 250s for several hundred less than the price of the XR. It is better in pretty much every way."
"The best one for more dirt bias by far is the wr250r, followed by IMO a tie between the drz400 and klx300."
"WR250R all day…."
"Hardcore off road—KLX300, crf450L, ktm exc-f 500 or 350."
"It's probably one of the best new dual sports you can buy."
"I used to do 30 miles each way on my KLR."
"I picked up a 2009 klx250 w/8k miles in very good condition for $1700."
