Fuel Economy

That noted, once in a while when at the local dealership I'll sneak a look at the Kawasaki Versys X300. It's not much larger than the dual sport I started out on in 1970. Chain drive, yes, but ~ 135 lbs lighter than the NT700. And it has decent wind protection for that type of scoot. If the NT700 is not my last bike, my last may become that small dual sport.

I have a 650 Versys and like it. From reading the Versys forum the 300 seems quite popular. I don't have any firsthand expierience and don't know sales figures or any thing like that but it appears to be a popular ride. The tube type tires I would not care for, tubeless seem safer to me. Some people seal them up and convert to tubeless.
