To race enduros successfully on this bike , you ’ ll need to be big , strong , fit ... and talented – as you need to be with all big bore bikes . For NZ conditions , smaller capacity machines are probably easier . However , there is no denying the 480RR is awesome . It will suit our cross-country style races better , and is a machine that trail riders will just adore . Because it is road registrable , it is absolutely a fantastic choice to go back blocks exploring on . I won ’ t call it an adventure bike , because it ’ s not – it ’ s a dirt bike , or trail bike when road legal . But you sure as hell can go adventure riding on it .
