I'd doubt its a whole lot better than my dinosaur XL600LMF which was fun, but rubbish. dodgy starter, over-geared, piss-poor carburation, but groovy red engine and 28(?) litre tank. so, range was good, but the rest was drab/rubbish. pretty similar to a tenere, really, so I'd stay well clear. XR600 or XR650L if you want to go bombing around off-road. if you're handy, the transalp and africa twin can cope, but the suspension is for touring, not enduro/rally.
