tires for 80% road/20% off?

[Allan]

Hello all, I was wondering if anyone can tell me which has the farthest range out of all the Kawasaki dual sports. Any years, any model, and only stock. Obviously someone is going to say " it matters on the terrain". This will be best case scenario, flat, paved, no wind, 200 lb rider, going at a constant 50 mph till it runs out of gas. I hope that is enough clarification. All info is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Allan

I have a 2002 with 16t front sprocket and 39t rear street tires . Everything else is stock. On a 125 mile trip in California traveling 55mph I received 73 + mpg. If I could keep that average it would compute to over 400 miles. I have seen 345 miles before re-fueling. TC

Errr... You mean between the Super Sherpa, KLR250, KE100 and KLR650? The KLR650 of course!

Change the gearing, put some road tires on it, and ride conservatively and some have reported 70+mpg. Z DC

Looks like I'm in the market to replace my Duro's on my A-15, after 8K+, and was wondering if anyone had any recommendations on a tire that would satisfy my 80/20 requirements? Would I need more of a road tire versus an Enduro tire? Thanks, Joe
