Topspeed has listed the 10 best motorcycles for off-road and asphalt

This versatility becomes especially valuable if one lives in an area known for its imperfect roads.

Opens the selection of the 2026 Yamaha WR125R. This is the most affordable way to dive into the world of dual-sport motorcycles. A completely new model that immediately attracts attention with its impressive efficiency. Fuel consumption is only 3.2 l/100 km, and you can travel up to 320 kilometers on one tank. The heart of the bike is a modern 125 cc liquid-cooled engine with VVA technology, which automatically changes the intake characteristics for maximum performance at any speed.

Honda CRF300L is a legendary “dual-purpose” motorcycle with a 286 cc engine (27.3 hp) and a curb weight of 141 kg. An ideal choice for beginners due to its lightness and predictability. The 2025 version receives an updated suspension, tuned based on real-life rider experience for maximum versatility on any off-road surface.

In third place is the Kawasaki KLX300. It stands out among its competitors with some seriously serious suspension: 43mm inverted forks with compression adjustment and a fully adjustable rear shock, options found on much more expensive models. Paired with a 292cc (28 hp) engine, this gives the rider the ability to fine-tune the bike for both long hauls with a load and aggressive riding on tight trails, all at a very competitive price.

Next up are the Beta Alp 4.0, KTM 390 Enduro R, Suzuki DR-Z4S, Husqvarna FE 501S, Honda CRF450RL, Suzuki DR650S and KTM 690 Enduro R.
