When I say it's a 'Swiss Army Knife' bike I mean it can do a number of things but there are specific tools that will do each one of them, individually, better.

If I wanted a dedicated off-roader I'd probably go for something equivalent to the Suzuki WR bikes but for a bit of green-laning lots of things will cope quite happily.

It's not like you have to be able to bench-press them :)
Down a nice quiet trail and you tip over in some mud. Can't lift 200 kgs and no bugger to help you.
JFDI. Adrenaline is a wonderful thing, but it doesn't last long.
Yeah, but you feel the effects for years afterwards.
