Welcome DR,
I think you hit the nail on the head my good man,
It's a little much for enduros but an all around good bike.
It's a little much for anything! But I believe that's what keeps the average recreational guys like me keep from selling off the bike. We have mostly single track and fire/park service roads up here. Even the fire roads don't have much 4th gear territory. Like the Junk Man I am running 13/51, 1st gear is almost trial's like and still go faster in 5th than an old curmudgeon like me should have sense enough to be doing .. Perfect for me, keeps the engine humming along in second or third without going at a greatneck ground speed. I imagine you'd get used to the speed out in the wide open spaces and would soon be looking for more out in the Desert...
For an old motocross bike these things can pretty much hold their own in most any circumstances with a few well
placed mods.
Glad to have you with us.
