Well, to my mind, an enduro bike is a massively over engineered trail bike?
With my lack of talent, enduro isn't a sport I embrace although I do like the odd run out.
Having a bike that is capable up to 70(ish
) on the road but still performs just as well on the lanes is a proper dual sport.
Personally I feel the sub 750cc set are the true dual sports.
After that they are Adventure bikes which can handle big distances and reasonably gnarly terrain.
The 690/701 are a natural progression from the DRZ etc. 150kg, 63bhp, knobblies. Where is the lack of fun in that. i am now having a great time blatting round the back roads of East Sussex compared to feeling road conditions and traffic density had rendered me overbiked
Years ago it took five of us to lift Windy's 990 Adv out of a dry but deep stream bed.
Maybe only two would be needed for an enduro bike.
Riding gods, real or self proclaimed, can usually ride anything, anywhere well.
I am certainly happy with my two dual sport and classic bikes. Of course, one can never have too many bikes or cars.
