New rider here. Want to do some dual sporting - Commute 3km to work and back everyday and do excursions on the weekends.

I'm 27 years old and last rode a Yammy DT 125 when I was 15 on the weekends (Was my friends)

Have the chance to get a 701 Enduro with about 1500kms at an extremely attractive price, otherwise a CRF250L (also barely any kms) at a great price too. First choice was the Honda but I am leaning more on the Husky side if the price is good for me.

This is through a friend so hence the good prices on either.
Am I stupid to believe that I can learn to ride on the husky without killing myself. I'm extremely careful by nature and think I can use a tame throttle - I have no interest in wheelies or anything like that.

I feel the husky will serve me well long term. Are there any things I need to worry about with the 2016  model, look out for etc? I know the Honda will be more reliable compared but the difference shouldn't be too much?

Help me out here guys.
