I am not aware of one, but CSC has the RX4, which is an adventure bike that is supposed to come out this Fall and it has a 450cc motor.

Nothing in the super affordable range like the Hawks/Bashans. There are some 450's by SSR and GPX, but they are $4000-$6000 bikes with much more hardcore off road hardware.

That super nice Pista Pro is the closest thing I can think of. I believe it’s a 250 or 400 cc’s option.

if you got to have a 300cc or bigger I would check out craigs list for a good used jap bike ,for less there all over there from 1800.00 to 3k from newer to older ,used is the way to go ,I look for bikes with low miles or hours though

Like hawk229cc said if your open to the Japanese market of bikes, I have seen the brand new left over 2018 model of the Kawasaki Versys 300cc selling for as low as $2999! I think retail on that bike is like $5299 or so. Seems like a super deal to me, in order to get that deal you have to finance through them otherwise it's an additional $400. I used to own a Brand new Kawasaki Versys 650cc and that was an awesome motorcycle with tons of power and speed. I'm not sure about the 300cc but I would imagine it's a great bike as well.

are you after a real duel sport or a road
bike with a ADV sticker on it somewhere."Versys and the like..

The little Versy though can be geared down, wheels swapped and suspension modded into a little ripper of a bike. It'll never be a DZR but a solid ADV bike is hidden in there.

I'm really just doing my research for a stock bike that can hit highway speeds easier, but also a good trail bike. Most likely it would be used to commuting to school during the week and recreation on the weekend.

Thanks for the reply!

The versys would definatlly shine as a commuter bike but not a great trail bike.. Light trail riding it would do but not hardcore stuff. This is an honest video worth the watch.

I'm not really trying to sell you on this bike, just giving info, but if anybody is interested here is the Ad I spoke of
