After our recent trip I have to give props to the 610, the bike handled everything that came it's way. It went up rocky tracks and the suspension tracked straight and true - did what forks should do, soak up the bumps. Throw in some sand and slippery water crossings all done with semi slick knobbies ! I even managed 28 km/l riding from Tzaneen to Polokwane. The sixth gear made the tar back to Pta bearable too. If there is anything to complain about it is the seat, damn it's hard even compared to enduro bikes but that is a minor detail. It's a crying shame these bikes never got the recognition they deserve ! I have owned and ridden plenty of 450 / 500 / 650 class machines and I would easily recommend the 610 to any potential owner. Only sell if you really need to, these machines signals the end of an era  :-\
