hey guys i relize this may not be the best place to be asking this but i was kinda thinking about buying an enduro motorcycle because i cant afford to buy any real street bike plus it would be nice to cut off onto a trail any time i wanted. so any way i was wondering if you guys know whats better for reliability, speed, acceleration, and range. thanx.

well i have heard nothing but good things about the suzuki enduros. and i have also seen alot of honda XR 400 with street legal lights and stuff. honda also makes the xr 650 which is and enduro but i think the best enduro of all time was the 90's zuki 350 enduro bike

 

Most of the modern enduro types , are pretty tall in the saddle. For guys like me who are hieght challenged (short), there arent many choices, the yamaha 225, the kawi super sherpa, or the suzi 200.
My choice was the super sherpa, and its one of the best motorcyles ive ever owned. Theres also a side benifit, it gets over 100 mpg, and thats even with revving the snot out of it. Both my feet can touch the ground, and its light, and will top out at about 75 mph.
If you feel comfortable on the suzi 350, thats about the best choice, but it was too tall for me.

 

I had a honda xl650r.

Awesome bike.

Great gas mileage.

Awesome on trails - OK on the street (plenty fast for my freeway commute too).
