When people who say they want a 50/50 bike buy one, they realize they really wanted a 100/100 bike. But since those don't exist, they either quit or decide what's more important to them and buy a 10/90 or a 90/10
When I'm daydreaming of a new bike, I take a real hard look at how I ride. For me, it's 95% asphalt. I really like the 5% of forest roads, packed dirt/gravel, even "real" gravel, but I tend to mostly ride the curvy country and mountain roads. So having a "real" dirt bike makes no sense for me. Frankly, neither does a 1250GS ... I'd be among the legions of those guys that rarely takes the bike off road. Now, a 1250RT ...
