But on the street one does not lean so much or ride so aggressively (or shouldn't) so I guess it should work just fine. The street one already has an Aluminum airbox/steering head section. It has enough horsepower, that is for sure!

Love those desmodromic valves... :)

You're worrying about a little mud from doing a little mountain biking in the mud? Isn't that what mountain biking is all about?

Just wipe down the chain with WD-40 and then apply lube.

I agree with Noah. Riding a dirtbike in the mud sounds even more fun! :)
