Joined a offroad motorcross event on my f900GS.
I didn’t really know what to expect but the average bike was a KTM300 or smaller. A lot of farm land, mud, sand, some ramps, forest drives. A lot of fun! And really really tiring!
This event was called https://offroadveghel.nl/event-2026
I was surprised to see only a few “big” bikes so for all people our there in doubt; go for it!

Hi there. Where do you ride ? I mean, what countries ?
Hi! I live in The Netherlands so so far NL, Belgium and Germany. TET is nice. And in Germany went to Hechlingen for a few days enduro training, that was intens!
Are you from around?
Hi. Well done for the enduro training. We are British, we live in France and ride a Yam FJR1300. I have just joined here and made a community called BikersClubFrance. We are find8ng our feet and interested in meeting new like minded people. We ride mainly in France.
Looks like a lot of fun. I imagine most people stick to the small bikes, because you're probably not going that fast anyways and the light weight makes it eays to play in the mud.
I was doing 70-80 kmh at some of the harder patches and was regularly overtaken by guys going mucccch faster. Was surprised by the difference. Also saw some guys flying ; ending in a field or the water hahaha.
but it's so rewarding showing up on a big bike and doing everything the little 250 enduro machines are doing
Haha yeah i got a lot of weird looks and compliments, that was pretty cool :)
