Clutch
<---Pass
It was breif ride, but, would be an ok dual sport bike. The rear airshock gets really stiff when it heats up. Feels like a completely diffrent shock, after some flogging. A regular coilover should cure that.
Motor is smooth, but, the bike is really heavy for a 650 dirt bike...350 lbs. But, even at that weight it was flickable(ish)
A couple quirky things, rear brake reservoir is mounted to the cylinder head. Rear brake over heats. Exhaust runs extremely close to the oil tank, and one of the raditor hoses. Heat sheild and header wrap should help.
Riding position feels odd, pegs feel low and back. I am used to riding race bikes, so, I think on long hauls, it should be ok.
Overall , it isn't a bad bike, with some money thrown at the suspension it should do better in the rough stuff, but, for the money I think there are more options out there for large bore dirt bike.
