Thanks - for taking the time to provide that, MikD; it provides insight into the bike design/purpose.
I've noticed that many trail/dirt bikes seem to be geared for about +/- 8,000 rpm @ 60 mph ... whereas dual-sports seem closer to +/- 6,000 rpm @ 60 mph.
11.5 inches suspension travel seem more like a trail/dirt bike; the popular dual-sports seem to offer ~7 - 10 inches.
Your measurements suggest something of a dual-sport/trail hybrid; interesting ...
