Tahnks for clarifying that, I wasnt sure it was really a concern TBH.

to clartify the clarity, if i were going to be doing solely or mostly off road i'd get the S, or more likely the E, but there's no reason to not get the SM if you want to dabble in the mud occasionally, i'll see if i can find the pic on thumpertalk of the SM with HUGE mud-plugging tyres on it

Im not sure if its been mentioned by the E makes alot more power than the S or the SM due to different carbs. It also has lighter subframe and afew other changes that I cant remember off the top of my head!
