I was only slightly joking about my van-van suggestion. I'd imagine they'd be a total hoot on bings. Motorcycle equivalent of a dune buggy. Loads of flotation so they'll skim and bounce over any loose shit. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen.

I did the 2010 Round Britain Rally on my 350 Bullet. 89 landmarks, 3 months, 9,500 miles. |

Who mention f800gs?
| 650 GS, sorry I had forgotten which one, and it was a toss up. I just picked the wrong one.

No, probably not but you want something that can carry a pillion and be *good* off road, which is near impossible if not impossible

The ccm644 was an excellent suggestion, something I had forgotton ever existed, and probably what i will go for. If i cant find one of those when my f650 sells i will get a crf450x and mod the subframe and change the spring. I dont know why everyone is saying I am looking for something impossible. My wr did it, my dt125 did it, klr650 did it very well, I was just looking for suggestions to find something better than a klr, which it looks like the CCM is exactly what I fancy. |
I still think it won't be good at either. ____________________ British beauty: Triumph Street Triple R; Loony stroker: KR1S; Track fun: GSXR750 L1; Commuter Missile: GSX-S1000F

Got there in the end. Yes i broke my own rule. Yes it has broken a couple of time already but al least it has only been electrical.
Had a crf450x for a while, great offroad, shite for going to trails 60 or so miles away by the time you get to the dirt you are sick of riding.
Went for a superbike on knobblies and glad of it. With a bit of adjustment to riding style it can hop over logs, do jumps, climb any hill. Yes its hard to pick up but not impossible.
If there was one thing i could change is how fas it destroys back tyres. Maybe a bit more reliable electrics |
