I’ve noted that several NC700 owners also own a Honda CRF250L. I don’t see the perfect dual sport for my “needs” but I’m trying to sort out the choices. Can those 250 owners share their likes and dislikes, such as seat OK or horrible, fuel capacity OK or pathetically small, engine like a sewing machine or a paint mixer, suspension too soft or too hard, etc? Would you buy it again, or get a different brand?
If I had a choice, I’d want basically a “CB400X” with Rally Raid kit that weighed under 400 pounds, or else maybe a 500cc Africa Twin. The upcoming new 2019 CRF450L looks nice but lacks fuel capacity, any luggage space, and seat comfort. It seems the choices are either too dirt biased or too street biased. Nothing just right.
