Yes, if you want a sturdy bike that brings you anywhere you want, including dirt roads, in the most efficent and comfortable way. I bought one myself last autumn and don´t have that many km´s under my belt with it, but has come to love it´s performence and the way it handles on all kinds of roads, from forest tracks to motor ways. It´s not the kind of bike that makes you feel like Mike Hailwood though, ´cause of it´s upright riding position and high gravity center.
