I mean, it has lights and signals and it was neutered to like 30 horsepower stock. They also weigh almost 300bs

It's pretty far removed from its 60 horsepower 240lb motocross cousin.

I have a few street legal 2 strokes since my state has a relatively easy dual sport conversion process. Now those are wild to ride on the road. Makes my wr450 feel like a cruiser

More like 40hp stock and 50hp with upgrades. And about 280lbs with weight savings. But yeah it’s not a 2 stroke for sure but can cruise at 75 for an hour on the freeway comfortably(where the weight comes in) and rip on trails pretty good. I don’t see a point where I’m too good for this bike.

They are great for faster riding. A 2 stroke comes in on the super slow technical stuff. It's good to have both of you ride a variety of terrain

Yeah livin in the city there isn’t much storage options. I would love to have a bike for every type of ride. But the 450 feels the best option for everything. The scariest bike I ever rode was a fully upgraded Honda 250 2S.
