I'm no riding god but got on ok on a Desert Rose training day earlier this year.
Ok, you wouldn't race it against dinky 2t's but it's certainly capable enough but I agree that Trail would be a better description.
Not sure why it is thought it's ugly - looks fine to my ageing eyes and just as good as an EXC.
And a damn sight more practical for off roading than a lumpy GS.
It got me round tricksy lanes in Wales ok in May and there is no way a big adventure bike woulld get round other than in the hands of an expert.
