I only say that because of how high the tire cover is and the type of shocks on the front wheel!
I don't expect you to ride a Harley off-road.
You only say that because it looks like and is a dirt bike.
Maaan that's not what I'm looking to do right now, but a good dirt bike would be so fun.

Obsessing over this bike at the moment, I don't think I'd have the guts (or the stupidity) to throw this thing into sixth gear yet though.
Also looking at this one tomorrow morning: http://sf-moto.ebizautos.com/detail-...d-7840114.html
Only thing permanent is change
I don't have a picture of me with my helmet on, but I like to think of myself as Darth Vader when I race - more so if I get a black visor.

A dual sport is an excellent choice for the city. Our roads are shit and my DR350 is the perfect bike for traipsing over the imperfections.
Don't expect to find any dirt roads around here, though. I've looked :/
Yeller, if you're going to be doing a lot of commuting, I would definitely recommend something along the lines of the 599, SV650, ER6N, Bandit, FZ600R, or Monster. Dual sports are okay too, but I'm not interested in riding off-road in the least, so they make a lot of compromises that I don't care for. If you want something that looks more like a sport bike, maybe look at the CBR600F4i's. I rode one when I had next to zero experience, and it wasn't too bad. Of course, an inline-4 bike is a much different beast ridden sedately than in anger. The SV650 feels pretty powerful at lower RPM's, but it doesn't have the whoosh of power that the inline-4 bikes have.

IMO, the best pure-city bike is a Suzuki DR-Z400SM.
But seriously, if you want a super powerful dual sport to win the respect of your motorcycle friends, check out my friend's XR600R that he has for sale. From what I gather, it is not for noobs, but it would be a great opportunity to throw caution into the wind and break your ass. It's the right price, but the wrong state.
Ninja 500 this week...

That bike reminds me of the ones used in spy/action movies.
