Ducati skyhook suspension and a good welder after landing.
Getting air is usually no problem. It's that whole gravity / landing thing that is the issue.
The question is, do you want to take a $30K fragile "scrambler" into the dirt?
Just a thought.

I would like that Yamaha! Kinda Old School Scrambler Look.
Humm, this gives me ideas for my sportster!!
I think a detuned XR750 with its aluminum components would be a good adventure mount if built right.
big Block Knobbies would do it...
Not quite.
oh yeah, high pipes, a little longer forks and rear shocks.
Regarding dirt worthiness it looks like another poser bike to me. Just say no.
I think maybe we have the terminology backwards for this kind of stuff. We all know somebody like David Knight or Jeff Emig could ride a bike like this in much more serious terrain than we could right?
Doesn't that make the latest high-tech, lightweight dirt bike the poser bike, and bikes like this are for the hardcore guys?
Just thinking out loud..
I'm thinking that as always it depends on who rides what where. 
If I was trail riding I would prefer something more like my Avatar, yet I think a heavy solid, lower seat height scrambler, like the Yamaha has it's place. Jeep trails call for something more like a scrambler rather than a trail bike, IMHO.
