Ah, are you in the market? I don't regret my dual sport, even if I'm not going off road as much as I hoped to (still doing some, but pretty mild stuff) it's good training for riding tall bikes, it's light enough that I can muscle my way out of some possible drop situations and pick it up easily when they do happen, and gives me a lot of confidence that I wouldn't have on a bigger heavier bike, or a more road-oriented one, like I'd be way too chicken to even go on some of the abandoned forest roads and stuff on a starter ADV.

The X300 is pretty unique, I think it's the only sub-650 ADV that isn't a single and it's quite light even compared to a lot of singles. Saying Kawi specializes in sportbikes feels pretty wrong too considering dirtbikes and dual sports have been a huge part of their business for decades and the KLR is an icon.

I have a Kawi dualsport myself and I'm really interested in the KLE/Versys 450/500 that they teased last fall, seems like it could be a goldilocks bike for me.
