I've been thinking about getting a motorcycle for my 5 mile commute when I'm not riding my bicycle.
I haven't decided definitely on a dual sport bike but have been reading a little about it and am intrigued by the concept. I like the idea of having a light bike to whip around and less body plastic to worry about "just in case."

Plus I could then go where no street bike can go.
So far, I'm thinking about a
used TW200 or DRZ400... both which are within my $3k price range.
Any thoughts?
