the DRZ400 is a good conbination of power & light weight.its a great all a round dualsport.it will run 70/75mph easly all day , it tops out at about 90mph ,its also great offroad with knobby tires...if u like offrading, avoid the kawasaki klr650 & the suzuki dr 650.they r both super heavy ,especialy the kawa,klr650 with its 6gallon,gas tank...1 small bore dualsport that kicks ass right now is the,honda crf250l,its under $5grand,super light weight,,EFI motor,get 90MPG.& tops out at 92mph  fassttt for a 250cc.....most offroad rider dont realize,the benefits of riding a dualsport..(no truck,no trailer to be towed,vandalized, ticketed or parking issues)...if i could onoy  have 1 bike it be my honda xr650l 1000%..

I have a 2012 wr250r that I converted to x, my buddy just bought a 2013 crf250l nice little bike! definitely wont do 90mph he had it pinned on a straight away and 79mph is all it had, he is 145-150pounds, if I hadn't found the wr I actually had a crf250l on deposit, like said nice bike not as fast as the wr but a really fun bike!
This is what it looked like when I first got it

Now converted





Couple of pics of ours together, this is when I had my old turn signals, fender, and headlight on.

Depends on how/where you ride. I am always traveling and exploring on my KLR. The majority of  trips are on hard roads. This is when I appreciate the extra weight. I've ridden built 400's, and put many miles on an xr 650. The KLR doesn't feel much heavier to me. It definitely is heavier toward the front of the machine.

I have never had it to top speed but it looks like everyone says it does about 94mph, I personally have only had it to 75mph for a short sprint on the highway, just to get to the next exit down, one other nice thing is it has over a drz is a 6th gear and does fairly decent for cruising.
This bike is an absolute blast to ride, if you go to a site called supermotojunkie you will see all the guys that have gone from sport bikes to supermoto bikes and say its the best thing they have ever done. There obviously not as fast but can keep up in the corners like no problem but its just more of a fun relaxed seating position and of course there super light and easy to flick around and control, like i said we have a blast on ours, plus 72 mpg aint to shabby either. and of course the benefit of being able to just shoot off into the trails.

Another cool thing from a manufacturer is honda is coming out with a new supermoto off the showroom floor it should be pretty sweet!
