1/6

TLDR: I live in a rural area and want a bike I can ride on dirt/gravel roads as well as paved highways and am not concerned with having the fastest bike lol (Pics are for general reference the cycle ergo site doesn't have the newer bikes listed)

The MT-03 and XT250 are my top picks with the XR150L being a close contender as well (due to Budget, availability and preference but am open to suggestions). I've already spoken to dealers in person and have seen the bikes.

The problem is that a few folks at a few places have said I should get the MT-07, Rebel500 and/or even the R3 for comfort etc etc...

However, I've read that dealers love to upsell but am not sure if that's the case or if it's the bigger bikes would genuinely be a better fitment...
