Convince me that a FE570 is a bad idea.

I'm finally in a position to be able to plan and actually do a ride I've been wanting to do for ages.

My original plan was to ride around the US with my wife, but it's now extended to include Central and South America too - mostly because now I don't really have any time constraints, my wife decided she's a lesbian, and I no longer have a mortgage etc. All that makes things a bit simpler for the trip - albeit in a really messy, complicated way

I've fallen in love (lust?) with the Husaberg FE570, and no matter what negatives it has (eg no cush drive, short service intervals, low fuel capacity, plastic/minimal sub-frame), the weight, power and off-road capability of it just keeps bringing me back.

I want to stay on the dirt as much as possible, and I like the idea of being able to try out single-tracks that people I meet along the way might suggest.

The other thing is that it's been a while since I've actually owned a bike - is the power-to-weight of the FE going to be an issue? I grew up riding dirt bikes, and the last bike I rode was a two-stroke YZ250 a couple of years ago that I loved.

Also, the trip is most likely going to be a solo one, mostly because at 31, all my friends are busy having kids instead of riding bikes around the world

Anyway, back to the original point - will I regret doing a longish-term trip a FE570? Convince me it's a bad idea, or tell me it's brilliant, or suggest other bikes. I'm pretty open to other options, despite my infatuation with the Husaberg...
