is the road legal shineray my best bet?

hi,
recently i discovered a great off roading spot, and have tried it on my yamaha aerox scooter. but it's not so great for that, plus i would like to learn gears. now the road legal shineray 125 on ghostbikes seem's ideal as when im 17 i can ride it to college. but ive been wondering about swing arms. are the crf style swing arms best for offroading?

or is there any other bikes i would be better off with? (£400 or under)

Re: is the road legal shineray my best bet?

I have a r/l Shineray GY v111 125cc

They are absolute superb value for money, the quality is excellent, as it has to be to get the certificates of conformity, and type appovals for road use.

They will be better than any off road Thump Xsport or whatever.'

They are dual purpose as well......very underestimated.
