Hi Everyone,
I have been looking to see what is available out there in a dual sport. From what I am seeing I am leaning towards the XR650 because of reliability. I am 6'8" and 320 lbs and not sure what modification would have to be done as far as suspension/fork for my weight. I have been doing some research and it seems like height of bike would be ok but I think I would have a lot of sag in the suspension. Any advice would be appreciated. I found a couple I like but I live in a remote area and its not a short drive to any motorcycle shop to check any out. Look forward to your insight. Thank you.
Mike
