They have great road manners, plenty of grunt (the big 1290 KTMs or Ducati Multistrada will make your Harley feel like a it is only running on one cylinder) and all the mod cons you could wish to pay for. If you plan on going "real" off road on one the limiting factor will be your skill level, not the bike. Check out some of Chris Birch's Youtube videos. If you are not so much into hi tec then check out the Ducati Scrambler Desert Sled of maybe the new Triumph Scramblers.

A Ducati Desert Sled would find a home in my garage any day (if the cook wouldn’t spin out over it). One day.

Yeah @kiwijames. Same here. They remind me of the old Yamaha TT 500"s of the 80's. Pretty cool bike. Not cheap for what they are though.
