There are a ton of great dual sport motorcycles for beginners out there, but all dual sports are not created equal and there are definitely some motorcycles that dual sport beginners should avoid.

So, let me help you sift through the myriad of choices and eliminate those you should avoid so you can find the absolute best beginner dual sport motorcycle for you. Avoid the overpowered, twitchy, expensive, and dangerous choices like the KTM 500 EXC-F, Kove 450, KTM 690, or the Honda CRF450L and likewise ignore the well meant but honestly bad dual sport beginner advice to buy something old like a Suzuki DR350.
