10 Motorcycles That Combine Street Comfort With Off-Road Capability

Whenever we curate a list of motorcycles that can excel on tarmac and off-road, while also being daily-rideable, dual-sports top the list. However, this bunch also includes a few exceptions from the adventure bike world. Most of these tall-riding ADVs make the cut because they are entry-level offerings, which puts them at an advantage in terms of curb weight, dimensions, and even tractable performance that doesn’t intimidate riders. This also contributes to its street comfort quotient. This list is an interesting mix of seasoned offerings from Suzuki, Kawasaki, and Honda, along with new entries from Royal Enfield and Moto Morini (to name a few).

To give you the most up-to-date and accurate information possible, the data used to compile this article was sourced from authoritative sources, including Royal Enfield USA, CFMoto Motorcycles USA, KTM USA, Honda Powersports USA, Moto Morini USA, Beta Motorcycles USA, Suzuki Cycles USA, and Kawasaki Motorcycles USA. This list is organized in decreasing order of pricing, from the more expensive to the most affordable bikes that combine street comfort with off-roading capabilites. All prices mentioned here are of the 2025 models, unless mentioned otherwise.

Suzuki V-Strom 650XT

Price: $9,799

Despite being a “dated” middleweight adventure bike, the Suzuki V-Strom 650XT still scores high in terms of reliability, durability, and practicality. It is powered by a 645 cc V-twin producing 70 horsepower and 46 pound-feet of torque, designed to be versatile enough to ace both off-road and tarmac rides. The “XT” is an off-road-enhanced version of the V-Strom 650 with spoke wheels, handguards, and an engine cowl. These features, when coupled with its adventure-spec tires and stance, truly dial up its off-roading appeal. Furthermore, its relatively low seat height of 32.9 inches and manageable curb weight of 476 pounds emphasize its street comfort.

Suzuki DR-Z4S

Price: $8,999

Suzuki’s popular DR dual-sport finally gets its much-needed upgrade after 23 years. The 2025 DR-Z4S focuses on technology and refinement features, with the 398 cc single-cylinder being an all-new mill featuring fuel injection and ride-by-wire. The number of technological features here is impressive, with notable ones such as three ride modes, four levels of traction control, and switchable ABS. All of these features come together to make the new DR-Z4S a cozy urban runabout and an even better off-roading companion.

Specs

Moto Morini X-Cape 700

Price: $8,299

This is an underappreciated ADV that often goes under the radar. It packs a versatile 693 cc parallel-twin engine that produces 70 horsepower and 50.2 pound-feet of torque. This is the same engine that powers the equally underappreciated Calibro cruiser bike. The engine offers meaty low-end torque and thrilling high-revving power, a feat that is uncommon in this segment.

It is quite lightweight for a nearly 700 cc ADV at 514 pounds. This, coupled with its relaxed rider triangle, contributes to its comfy urban skills. Off-roading duties are taken care of with cool features like Pirelli Scorpion STR dual-purpose tires, long travel KYB suspension that offers adjustability at both ends, and protection covers on the powertrain and handlebars.

Honda NX500

Price: $7,399

The Honda NX500 is not a motorcycle that takes the spotlight, but it has been designed to be commendable at everything. While it might not be as excellent off-road as its peers like the CFMoto Ibex 450 and the RE Himalayan 450, this Honda compensates with elevated comfort and tarmac skills. In fact, its tractable 471 cc parallel-twin engine is designed to make even newbies feel at ease while also delivering meaty performance to satisfy experienced riders.

It is compact enough, with a wheelbase of 56.8 inches and a low curb weight of 432 pounds, to be a cozy all-day urban companion. While it’s not designed for hardcore off-roading, it can ace trail runs with ease, thanks to its off-road-ready tires, commendable ground clearance of 7.1 inches, and robust suspension setup. It even gets switchable traction control to let loose on gravel.

Specs

Beta Alp 4.0

Price: $6,790

The Beta Alp 4.0 is a hidden gem that blurs the line between an ADV and a dual-sport. This is also what contributes to its do-it-all nature. It is powered by a peppy 348 cc single that produces 35 horsepower. Entry-level figures, yes. But when you picture it with a slim form factor and a well-controlled curb weight of just 326 pounds, all hell breaks loose in its off-roading endeavors.

This is further strengthened by features such as a rugged chassis, long-travel suspension with over 7 inches of travel at both ends, and 10.6 inches of ground clearance. For a tall-riding dual-sport, its seat height of 34.0 inches is commendable. The rider triangle is designed to help this cool-looking Italian be a cozy urban runabout as well.

CFMoto Ibex 450

Price: $6,499

The Ibex 450 is getting a lot of praise from all over the world because of its all-rounder appeal. It is powered by a versatile 449 cc parallel-twin engine, which also powers a streetfighter and even a sports bike in CFMoto’s arsenal. It packs beginner-friendly performance figures with 44 horsepower and 32.5 pound-feet of torque.

Despite being a full-blown ADV, the Ibex 450 impresses with a low weight of under 400 pounds. Couple this with its relaxed riding stance with an adjustable saddle, and we have a Himalayan 450 rival that doubles up as a cozy urban runabout. Its off-roading duties are spearheaded by features like a lightweight yet robust frame, adjustable long-travel suspension, and even switchable ABS.

Honda CRF300L Rally

Price: $6,499

This is based on the ever-so-popular Honda CRF300, but dials up on its off-roading and touring capabilities with additional features like a windscreen, added protection, and beefed-up styling. With its recent update, the CRF300L Rally also gets an improved cooling system and tweaked suspension to strengthen its off-roading endurance capabilites. This also works the other way, offering a more stable ride and longer riding hours in tight urban conditions without compromising on comfort. Powering this beefed-up CRF300 is a 286 cc single-cylinder engine producing 27 horsepower and nearly 20 pound-feet of torque.

Specs

Royal Enfield Himalayan 450

Price: $5,799

Royal Enfield truly impresses with the Himalayan 450. Despite packing a lot of “first-ever” components, this entry-level ADV is turning out to be the best all-rounder out there. It packs RE’s first-ever liquid-cooled engine, producing 40 horsepower and 29.5 pound-feet of torque.

This is a relatively high-revving mill and versatile enough to make this Himmi a cozy urban runabout and a rugged off-roading companion. Its standard adjustable seat, relaxed ergonomics, and even two-riding capabilites make it a cozy urban companion. Off-roading duties are spearheaded by Showa-tuned long-travel suspension and added powertrain protection.

Specs

KTM 390 Enduro R

Price: $5,499

This is one of those few road-going motorcycles that have a lot more off-roading capabilities than expected. The 390 Enduro R is powered by the same versatile 399 cc single-cylinder mill that powers the 390 Duke streetfighter and even the famed 390 Adventure line-up. It’s peppy, producing 44 horsepower and 28.8 pound-feet of torque.

The Enduro R is designed in the image of a hardcore dual-sport with a slim form factor and tall-riding stance. It has over 10 inches of ground clearance, knobby off-road-ready tires, and 11+ inches of suspension travel at both ends. While it looks like it can “only” dominate on the trails and off-roads, its adaptive chassis and powertrain combo make this orange hooligan a peppy and comfortable urban runabout too.

Kawasaki KLX 300

Price: $5,449

This is one of Kawasaki’s most popular dual-sports today, because of how well it blends on-road and off-roading capabilites. It is powered by a very reliable 292 cc single-cylinder engine, which produces humbler numbers, with 18.1 pound-feet of torque. But when we put its impressively low curb weight of 302.1 pounds into the equation, the power-to-weight ratio makes up for the lack of performance. This also helps with its nimble nature, which adds to this Kawa’s street comfort quotient. Contributing to its off-roading finesse are features such as a high ground clearance of 10.8 inches, a rugged chassis, and a long-travel suspension that provides nearly 11 inches of ground clearance.
