Yea, I used to ride 180-225cc at 14 years old, and I always thought even that was too much power. Now at 31, I still believe 250cc would be enough for commute and weekends off road. I wish BMW made a smaller engine bike. I may just have my learner's permit, but I am no stranger to motobikes, that being said, I don't believe years of dirt experience translate to experienced on-road rider.
I have no interest whatsoever in a S1000RR, sport bike. I am doing enduro only. I want to be able to go off road easily, without needing a truck/trailer to haul a 100% dirt bike around.
