You're a retard if you don't commute on a dual sport.

Remember, you're not stuck in traffic, you ARE the traffic.

I'm not stuck in traffic though. Small town master race. I've been thinking about doing my three or so miles of commute on an e-bike so I can keep up with traffic but I'd have to use it for a decade just to even out the purchase price on fuel savings.
But i do
Dual sports have 36" seat heights that shit is far too tall for me
i'm 5'9
i take pic related to work and it's objectively better for a 140 km rt highway commute (i have 2 dual sports also)

A typical dual sport has like three inches of seat height over a sportbike/sport tourer and is on par with much comfier adventure bikes. You can see over SUVs on most bikes if you aren't super short, especially since you can stand up (makes it easier to balance anyways)
>filters through traffic
Wow it's like every other bike, only it's a single cyllinder hell ride with a tiny tank
>40-60mpg
Remember the words "tiny tank"? 250s sport-standards get this and have equivalent power, better handling, bigger tanks, and since you're not mentioning off-roading...are just better.
>dead simple
Not much simpler than a liquid cooled twin
>ciuts down on congestion
>turns a 45 minute commute into a 25 minute commute
Never forget that this is illegal in many places (because it's not fair, i, uh, mean, safe)
And dual sports need lots of aftermarket to match the seat and ride quality of a bike that's actually made for commuting. It's a bike made for riding at the speed limit until you get toa dirt trail, idiot.
Sup
DR350 is the best bang for the buck
I smirk when I pass Jeep Wranglers in my town because there's nowhere for them to off-road. Except for me.
kek, 5'9" here, motorcycles are designed with the average height male in mind. You'll fit fine, the suspension will compress with your weight.

Its 20 fucking degrees Fahrenheit in CT but I own this silly thing called a coat.
KLR-650's jumbo 6 gallon fuel tank ftw
Went up a tooth on the front sprocket to a 16/43 ratio and with a set of highway pegs, its even a great highway traveler
