Dirt & "off road": If you are scared of "off road" ride a smaller moto, like 250cc or even smaller. A 600cc moto is too heavy for slippery and rough roads that normally are called off road. Light weight makes a huge difference, making adventuring and exploring fun!
My wife loves riding her 250cc on glarly roads, after initially riding rough roads with a 100cc moto. I too enjoy my 250cc moto. I own another 250cc moto for overland travel that is located in South America. You can go far, and you will have fun on a smaller moto.
Ride solo, ride your own speed, and enjoy the adventure.
Big moto, 600cc or so, is for high speed gravel roads (smooth/well graded/solid) and for tarmac.
We live in a moto culture that says big is better, or that "once you are good" you'll prefer a bigger moto on rough roads. Ignore that advertising and culture.
