Hi, I am new to this board but been riding many years. I am in between bikes now having just sold a VTX1300S, this past winter and a Honda 750 Aero Shadow, and a 02 Gl1800 Gold Wing, Yamaha 1300 classic in the past 4 years. My youngest daughter wanted my GW more than I. I'm a solo rider as my wife won't ride and I like to run hiways, country roads to get to the good back country (back roads and trails) so I am now looking for a dual purpose bike to pack light camping gear and ride across Texas to get to the Big Bend or Western states so I can then go off road. My big problem is my rear end is built too close to the sidewalk, (29 inch inseam) and the dual bikes these days seem to be built for 6 foot plus riders. Last really good fitting dual I had, though a two stroke and a little low on power, was a bike I used for racing in the late 60s, (enduros, TT scrambles, early motorcross), a Yamaha DT 1. My first bike that I used for dual purpose that was a little heavy but tough was a foot clutch, hand shift 1949 Harley 74. I prefer a light weight low center of gravity low seat/high armoured center, 4 stroke with good torque. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Barn
