I would imagine it would fall apart…
Though still too tall at 838mm seat height…..
it is pretty much the same seat height as a Kawasaki ZX636R and lots skinnier and lighter so shouldn’t be a problem. I’d be wary about the QC on a bike that cheap though.
They’re offering a test ride – go for it Radar!

That is pretty tall. Test ride would be fun if they were closer. That Suzuki TS185 I heard about a few months ago is still for sale apparently…

I do think quality would be an issue, especially if you got carried away off road. Man it is cheap though!
….. or even better a Kawasaki KMX 200, they are lots of fun!
Might be back to the old seat height problem again!
aye but still a lot shorter than the current KTM enduro bikes!
and it does have soft suspension 
Fair point.
I do fancy a dirt bike though and so much of the new stuff is simply too tall for me
100% agree, it is very daunting not being able to comfortably put a foot out to dab the bike upright if it slides away from you.

The clossic stuff fits me fine, just modern stuff is a problem
That was a little flame that lit in the back of my head, but think my idea would be a flop, with the current fad in “scramblers” what about a classic supermoto? grab an old school enduro bike and fit trick suspenders, brakes and wheels?
…. the light was quickly diminished though as basically the old time scramblers were just lightened road bikes with knobbly tyres so they wouldn’t transcend into a supermoto very well.
All the modern “scramblers” are still heavy road bikes, just with pseudo off road pretensions so would be horrid as a sumo
now a stripped down TDM 250 with sorted suspenders and brakes could be a beast, but is a beast I couldn’t afford to do justice to I don’t think, at least not for another half decade lol

Interesting thought though Pete
You are right about the ‘factory’ scramblers too, the Triumph model looks the dogs, but it is a heavy old thing
