Got anymore info on this? Being 8-10 years ago I would think there might be some used ones floating around. I didn't know harley has made any like this since the '70s

One of the reasons I bought a DL650A was that I can pick it up by myself: a BMW 1200GS was a lot heavier. The newer F800GS with a 21" front is a lot better off-road - but not as good on-road.
The biggest difference (if you don't mind rocks pinging off your exhaust system) is tires. Most such bikes come with 80/20 street/dirt tires that have more open tread blocks.
Or they are "DOT knobbies" like the TKC80, which are much, much better off road and handle OK on road but only last 3-4,000 miles.
As this market has grown, there are now even "50/50" tires in addition to the 80/20 and 20/80.
But grass? Nothing works on wet grass!
