my sportsbike can cope quite well with farm tracks and some unpaved roads, light green lanes etc. just not at any speed and ground clearance is the important thing, that plastic is expensive! you have to just take it easy, especially when its wet and try to avoid these places whenever you can.
also, you look a total jerk when you get overtaken by mountain bikers (and their kids)

yup, actually i am agree with you that all bike should not have too much different in performing in all sort of road condition. If we use the off road bike, it may not so well in the tarmac road; same to tour bike on off road. Even though the bike you ride is not the best choice on certain road condition, but it still may carry you to the destination.
I understand that Africa Twin is one of the best choice going for any road condition, but the motorbike first price, insurance, fuel cost and insurance just make me away from using it as my RTW partner.
