Some people can do both.
I'm not sure what the reason of selecting this engine is. Maybe they got a great deal, maybe they wanted to add the BM branding power, maybe they like to aim at performance more than ADV readiness.
I'm not across the options out there, but I'd trade in performance over other things like better gearing and other things mentioned happily I think.
I recently came across this option the other day.

It's not an ADV spec bike yet. They're developing one with 600km range, but even then it won't get the vast majority op people excited. This is not for Ruta 40, more for some dotted trail through Asia, or river bids and donkey trails in Africa. I'm at a point now that I'm starting to look for something a bit different to a now typical intercontinental adventure ride. I think more people are too hence this growing interest into smaller bikes.
But the more I started looking into the equipment they selected the more excited and I became. Using a boring old but common as shit engine in something weighing a total of 57kg can produce something exciting (apparently).
