i could not reccomend this bike more for exactly what you are intending, my previous bike was a ymaha wr 450f was ecelent for greenlanig and short rides but couldnt do the distance and maintainence was verry high, so i got the ten for going further affield like camping in the woods in wales and some greenlanes. and comuting and such, ime pretty shure there isnt anything better out there, when i baught mine it was 250 miles away and i rode it back home at around 70-80 mph all the way home no prob! verry smoooth compaired to the wr
