I owned a Yamaha RD350 for a while, a street two stroke motorcycle and it sucked down the gas, getting 40mpg or so and it was a light motorcycle so I can only imagine what an enduro would get.
There are nice 4 stroke off road bikes out there, why not choose one of them? you'll spend more time ridding it then fixing it then if you get a two stroke.

I think one of the reasons two strokes get rebuilt more often is the lubrication system; it's pretty easy to starve the cylinder of oil. On the plus side, they are a lot easier to work on than four strokes.
