BMW G650GS
Suzuki VStrom
Kawasaki Versys

I think these bikes look like something a girl keeps in hidden in her sock drawer, but they do seem like they'd be more capable on crappy rural roads. Any thoughts on them, or the brands?
Well the Bmw will be expensive.

I like the Vstrom alot. Heard only great things about it. Supposedly does street and offroad real well.

Just let it be noted that those smaller cruisers I posted are light enough where you wont have much problem if roads arnt great. I drive my 1100 650 pound bike in all weather just not off road. Definitely look into a used Vstrom and the money you save can go towards rain gear saddlebags and other goods.

Heres a review you should check out for the Vstrom 650 (keep in mind that real big bike if your a new rider.)
