Not very many, and the Strada/Terras are running low too for the Adventure part of the series (sponsored by Yamaha). As a marketing move, it makes little sense to sponsor a Dualsport series if you arent going to market Dualsport bikes. Maybe this is a good sign that they DO intend to offer DS bikes soon. Also, they are The Pioneers of Motocross, but sponsor no MX series or team in the US. Right hand, meet left hand :-)
In some states, like Colorado, you don't need a 'Factory' Dual Sport. For an OHV Motorcycle to be ‘street legal’ and Registered in Colorado it must be inspected by the local Sheriff and have: Working Headlight Taillight Brake Light Electric Horn DOT Tires Mirror (1) Registration fees and Taxes paid Turn Signals are NOT required You could make a motorcycle like this 2014 FE 350 street legal in Colorado no problem.

Big Woods in Wabeno is this weekend. I'm jacked for it too! Weather looks awesome and the 501 is ready to rip the trails a new one.
