Drop it on a sidehill and see what the folks call it (the ones huffing) I doubt the name "dualsport" comes up. >> Got to agree with Tom, I have limited miles on the 1150GS but put over 3000 miles on a 1100 GS in Baja while riding with Salvadori while he was working on his Baja guidebook. We took the BMW and old model Tiger on some very rough roads but also fell in the sand more times than I want to think about. Roads that are a gas on the KLR (like the road from Puertocitos to Bahia Gonzaga) take great care on the GS. By the same token I did roads (trails) in Baja last January on a DR350 that I could not do on the KLR. It's all relative. Regards Kurt Grife
