I personally haven't ridden one,or even seen one in person,so I won't even give an opinion on that particular model.As far as 250cc dual purpose bikes go in general,I have ridden several,and found them good for city transportation as well as on dirt roads and in fairly tame off roading.They don't have the power that I need to feel comfortable on the highway,and they aren't well suited for tougher off road conditions.It all depends on your intended usage.
