·Interested to find out if anyone has done a conversion of a vtr to a dual sport? I've always wanted to get a vee twin dual sport but we can't get them in Canada. They make the Transalp and Varadero in Europe but are not available here. Transalps were in north america in the 87-89 seasons then Honda pulled them. Not enough sales i guess!
Prefer the big Honda engine with lots of torque! Easier, cheaper to repair and maintain compared to the Dakar-Ducati. Looks like a front fork change, much longer, handle bar risers or triple clamp change and wheels a bit bigger might do the trick! Anyone know of the steering head bearings on the vtr are std size. May be possile to install XR650R front end which has terric suspension. Any ideas. I have a 03 XR650R with Baja kit and hop up right now butam looking for a bike for the longer trips.
