"I think it would help if Peacefullyslow decides if he is going to commute or go off-road. By choosing one or the other for the main mode helps narrow down what bike and how to set it up. I chose the CSC TT250 because I do not plan on bumping a rock or leaping a log on my way to work. "


I say:

Goob, saw the pictures, nice setup. I'm a little troubled with your inference that I'm having trouble deciding on my USE of the machine. That decision has been made. 80/20 street/trail. If all I wanted is a commuter, there are better choices than the off road geometry bikes. I don't know your experience level so I can't disagree with your thoughts, however, you did make it clear that you have not ridden trails. Perhaps if you had you would know that bumping rocks happens and hopping logs is not only necessary riding style but also the primary intent of the dual sport machines. Go anywhere (even places where they haven't yet put streets).
Ride on, ride safe. Have fun?
