The bike is quite compact for a 450.
The rear fender appears to be long but its just an allusion, it does not stick out any further than say a Gas Gas.

The Beamer guys even get a small electrical connector included with their bike. That I was told is all there is to their power up kit. Plug in and play, it completes a circuit loop I guess. No sniping the grey wire or getting a different carb stop. EFI is nice! Sure exhaust will probably help, but air box mods should not be needed with its Ram air style positioning.

Seems like a pretty good dual sport. I think my biggest problem is also no engine frame rails for protection, just seems scary.
