Not from any personal experience but I enjoy watching some motorcycle content on YT.
The sentiment for (cross training enduro) boils down to 80% rider 20% bike.
and (Torture Test Magazine) recently rode an Suzuki DR200 and podium finished a 24hr event against modern euro enduros...so 30year old tech beats the contemporaries.
So you might get a few wry looks at the event but if all goes tits up replacing a busted bike won't annihilate the wallet.
The look of buthurt from the other riders if you win though would be priceless...
Are the China bikes up to it? I think so but longevity might struggle. Basic mods like pegs, bars, swing arm etc seems expected, though just as likely on other bikes too.
the power to weight will never be amazing.
