I think a SWM600 is too heavy as a farm bike , 300cc is the most you`ll need , the UBCO`s have very basic/poor suspension and an hour or so (If they last that long) over rough dry land wont be any fun where as a Japanese or European petrol enduro will be a pleasure with high spec long travel suspension and excellent ergonomics.Great overview Pete, thanks for that.
I am probably going to "move on" the SWM 600 as I just don't ride it, and it is just depreciating in the container, and would use the dosh to buy an UBCO!
The complete ease of use is partially what really appeals to me, especially at the moment as I am still a bit immobile from a pulled hamstring, same as I reckon Herself would like it for checking stock and especially when checking her cuz's stock when he away!
Got to ask though, how do you find the ergonomics of the bike though, it has always seemed too small from my perspective, especially standing up on the pegs, or do you find yourself sitting down more, when off-road?
I am impressed at the range you got.... 3.1 battery?
As for 2wd , you dont need it , watch any enduro competition , all you need is the right tyres and a little experience.
