    Hey guys, I'm probably going to end up with a 2000 SM610R because it's the best deal I can find in my area. I'm a little concerned about the off road capabilities of it though. It will mainly be used for commuting to and from work, but I would like to turn down the occasional trail in the woods/ bumpy dirt road a couple times a week. I'd say 80/20 street/dirt. Is this something I will be able to do?

    Also, I've seen a couple places say how that year the 610 was the same engine as a 570R from 2001 and only has 34hp instead of around 50. These bikes are so hard to find information on, someone please expand on this. It might be a different country thing because the only couple places I've seen it are on wikipedia where I had to translate the page, and from some thread on a supermoto forum, but the guy wasn't the best at english, but I just want to be sure.

    That bike will do very well off road. The motor will surprise you, it is way faster than something like a XR 650.
