I rode a enduro 525 a bit in 2005 in Oz and it can be a handful. The SX would be even more so I suspect. Not really a green laning bike unless you are a competent rider. Bit OTT, would be a waste.
You'd have more fun on a 250 2 stroke. Buy a cheaper bike and spend the spare money on good protective gear.

yeah, I figured it would be too much I've just got to ignore the hooligan behind my right ear that keeps on whispering. Fortunately my sensible side usually wins.
£2500 a bit steep for a sx525 04 reg ? check the 05 reg had a single pipe not twin pipes into the silencer plus a lower seat ? sx hot cam check bike may have 6 speed box already ? plus sx may not have e/start ? plus poss 19in rear wheel ? mx silencer ? ,extra two gears can be fitted engine out cases need to be split ? 525 alot of motor very reliable and will last a long time in the lanes just roll on power roll off or the thing will turn into a saturn five rocket big fun or one way trip to A/E lol lost
cheers everyone. looks like I may have found a DRZ400 that's coming available in the next couple of months for sensible money. not as sexy as the KTM but much more sensible!
lost
