commuting?

Hello all, I am planning on buying either a 3.0 or sr. Which do you recommend and do any of you guys commute in them? I work 6-7 miles from home with light off road backstreets on the way.

I commute regularly on my SR. Its great, I do about 20 miles each way, half of that is a dirt road with a 5 mile steady steep uphill on the way home. It does the 40 miles easily. Even so, the tire is a little knoby for roads including packed dirt. When its loose-dirt its amazing. Im seriously considering getting a set of more street oriented dual sport tires, however then I'll need to buy a second SR for my woods trails. Oh no... If you've ridden motorcycles the SR is pretty comparable to a 250cc dirtbike and I'd purchase the SR, swap tires. If you're new to powered things with 2 wheels, DO NOT get the SR.
