Not for beginner riders, but lotsa fun and violent power for someone experienced who respects it. As a bonus, it is titled - you could plate and insure it -a previous owner licensed it and had some of those led lights on it so he could run the streets in between trails. I've only run it on trails. Xtra capacity desert tank, barkbusters, easy-pull clutch, pro-taper bars, boyesen reeds, pro circuit pipe, disc brake guard, aftermarket kickstand. Also have a flywheel weight to slow the power hit if you do want to dualsport it or ride technical trails. Although I prefer the instant wheelie-anytime power hit! Nice tight bike, good working suspension and brakes. Runs great, ready to ride.
