Converting EX to an MX?

Did a search amd didn't see anything, so apologies if it's already been covered. I'm getting close to pulling the trigger on a stark, and I'll likely be riding MX 90% of the time, but the idea of being able to ride it to work, or to a nearby trail is super tempting to me. Has anyone done this? What works/doesn't work well?

Ideally I'd order one with MX suspension and be getting a set of MX plastics with no lights/plate/etc and a separate set of rims and tires for street/dual sport. How does the battery hold up on street riding? Would say a 30 minute ride at 45-60mph on country roads be doable or completely drain the battery? If I get it with MX suspension, is everything else nearly identical? Or should I be more sensible and just get an MX and haul it?
 
An MX is just an EX with harder suspension and no lights.

I've owned a MX 1.0 for 2,5 years and since very short an EX. On the street with street tyres i seem to get 95km or 59 miles.

Get the gearing taller and range gets better, but your speedo will be off.
