@4x4Runner said he got 11k out of his anakee adventure tires. This is my first ADV and it came with tourance street tires.

Speaking of @4x4Runner, how do those Dunlop tires compare to the Anakee?

 

Ive ran anakee and now the Dunlop trailmax mission

 

its also a tough question to answer because not everyone will ride their 50/50 tire in the same dirt/street ratio

 

Does anybody on here own a Husqvarna 701? Don’t recall anybody talking about them.

 

How do you like both of them? I'm torn between the two for the next set. I've heard the Dunlop is not decent in sand which is one of the major things I deal with being in South Eastern NC.

Neither are good in sand as one is a 50/50 and the other the anakee is like an 80/20. They are both good for fire roads and trail riding. If you’re talking random sand patches then sure it can do it but if it’s mostly sand I wouldn’t want either. I would want a dirt tire. But you gotta pick what you ride more of on the street or on dirt or a little of both. The anakee is a great street tire and light trail riding tire. The Dunlop is a good street tire with a little better off road manors

 

@Fulton246 go pick it up! https://charlotte.craigslist.org/snw/d/statesville-honda-big-red/7459365622.html

 

is it a scam? do you want him to get shot?

 

about 15 miles each way, I'm 5'9" 175 a Gemini, and go all the way on the first date

 

with those stats, I would highly consider a crf250 or crf300 or xr650l

 

I never rode a dual sport, i trail rode 230f. I'd have to get different tires right? I couldn't knobbies on the highway?

 

for only 15 miles one way, any one of those oem knobbies will be fine... in my opinion at least
i think you will get much more year around use out of a dual sport living in NJ, as compared to a more dedicated street bike

considering the budget as well, for 5k you can get a pretty bomb proof dual sport

 

Hmm good points. What about fuel mileage on a DS, they be good after doing highway speeds?

 

well, either way its better than a car

sure the more knobby the less efficient, but still beating the MPG for a cager by a long shit which is ultimately the point

if you want to maximize mpg, get a cvt 250cc scooter capable of highway speed

 

usually i would opt for more cc, but for a 15mile one way commute a 250 would be a fun ripper

Actually looks legit. I would buy it myself but I don’t like 3-wheelers.

 

I owned a 690 (essentially the same).

 

Still on a 690, ride it in the mountains, the desert and the roads in between.
