bike seems ok except for trans gear ratios 1 st is way too tall and 5 th is not tall enough. its hard to ride under 20 kmh without slipping the clutch,such as on slow trail riding. i would expect a long engine service life being L/c and totally non stressed,its not that powerful, my 20 year old xr 500 would smoke it. i guess the name dual purpose says it all
