If you are considering the "darkside", all Im gonna say is DO IT and DO IT right now. You will never be sorry. I have a primo zrx1100 that gathers a lot of dust nowadays. Ive been riding street since 19, but as the years go by the skill level and equipment level has gone up to the point that the speed and lean angles are going to have much more serious consequences when I or a cage make the mistake. Dont get me wrong. I still enjoy road trips (with the wife) and the occasional boys night out ride.
I just find the adventure aspect of dualsporting to be the attraction. Lots of action, getting lost, ect. If I had to lose my bikes they would go in this order.
zrx1100 first after a good cry
drz400 next after fits and threats
cr250 after they removed my cold lifeless hands from the grips
