Hey mate, dont know if I´m too late or not but my advice....Buy it. buy it now.! Have just put 1000k on mine and i have to say....awesome piece of kit.I have tasted many variety of mud/dirt etc. mainly because stock tyres are crap for OZ. The engine has heaps of punt, with 14/45 sprockets. This baby pulls the nose up at will, I will be changing later to maybe 12/45. I have ridden this pig on fast flowing tracks, to very tight scrub tracks on the side of big hills. no probs with its weight in this environment and the bike gives confidence to take on any kind of hill to climb.Traction on the rear can be an issue on any thing other than the bitumen.
