I tried that "dual purpose" stuff for awhile on my r1150gs. Not near enough man in me for that!!!! +1 on the KLX being the bike for that job.

I picked up A Versys in April of last year and put 10k on her, one trip was 2200 miles over 4 days all stock except for side bags and a top case, hand guards and heated grips. This winter I added Galfer front lines and pads for better breaking, a Madstad adjustable windscreen mount and am 80% complete installing an Audiovox electronic cruise control. With that I plan to ride the V from NY to California and back. It is a great little bike that does so many things well.

That's the sort of thing I like to hear, I'm saving my pennies for the Versys, only thing is I will probably have to sell the KLX
