Have Fruit Loops fallen from favor?

I have to admit I am a bit of a sucker for the exotic bikes. Whats the good bad and ugly with TM racing enduros other than having high HP and even higher replacement parts prices. The bikes must bee good if you can pay over $100 for a replacement shift lever.

Aluminum frame shows at least they are trying to make it a little bit lighter.
Most expensive enduro part regularly smashed at my place is 2-stroke exhaust pipes

Started maple syrup production which is really cool because when maple syrup season ends riding season begins :cool:

Most goofy thing on enduro bikes is the twin radiators that don't come with any fan but hang out each side with big plastic air scoops that barely work even in winter temps, the rads get smashed lots too

lol I won't even get started about the seat

So too much snow now?

The needed fans cost extra. Silly I know.

If I had riding like you I would already own a trials bike mr. TR.

I get it but I am looking at a compromise bike. Local urban fun bike and something I can take in the dirt. What ever I get is going to have dirt and supermoto wheels + possibly an extra street forks/shock. It's hard to do anything fun in this environment on my Tuono or 690 Duke. Both are way too fast for the area I live. I have been attempting to get some riders around here interested in moto gymkhana but that entails more than sitting in a parking lot and over revving the engines. For myself I have been working on a roundabout of a few often vacant parking lots with some interesting gymkhana turns to cruse around through quickly and keep going to keep the man off my a$$. As building here continus unabated my offroad route is now filling with apartments, hotels, medical, facilities, and strip shopping sites.
