The only down side is I will probably ride back and forth to work alot on it. I live 50 miles out of town, and there are alot of seconday roads, and/or stream crossings, etc if I go certain ways. That puts a road rocket waaay out of its league. I have an old dirt bike and will replace it one day with a "real enduro", but right now I have to say I lean to more of the "touring enduro". That KTM does look sweet, though! I looked at all the manufacturers and the Euro ones are more touring. The jap bikes look to be mostly "street legal dirt bike" types. I may go down to see the Suzuki enduro this weekend.
