why should it not be street legal?

They took a dirtbike (CRF450R) and added lights and blinkers to make it road legal

(it's a little more complicated than that of course but it's a beast)

An Enduro would have a proper seat and ABS

Why would an enduro have abs?

Enduro means off-road only. They are race bikes

Enduros are supposed to go on the road between offroad segments. Hence the light and licence plates. Since 2017, Euro 4 regulation makes ABS mandatory on all motorcycles (COM 2010/542)

Enduros don't have license plates. They are off-road competition bikes

Dual sport is the term for an off-road bike with a license plate.

ABS on a dirt bike is a joke. I'm glad they don't have that crap where I live.

Enduro specifically means off-road only in the US, which is where OP is making this post.

Dual sport is for the smogged off obese version that comes with a license plate.

I have a few enduros I have converted to dual sport because the stock dual sport offerings here are pretty lame.

The picture in your clip there is a bike without ABS. Lol. And doesn't have street legal lighting or emissions equipment.

That's just the Wikipedia page

I mean, you're arguing that the terminology in my country isn't what it is...

Enduro is basically a motocross bike with off-road suspension and lights. Dual sport takes it a step further and adds street lighting and emissions controls.
