Sure, it will work for transportation.
You just have to accept the significantly lower power level. Enfield seems to want their bikes to be in the 20 hp range. They have been this way for a long time. The good side is that the engine produces a large portion of its torque at low rpms , so it feels stronger than people expect from the low hp number. Where it gets noticed is at the higher cruising speeds, and the reduced ability to rapidly accelerate at those higher speeds, compared to more powerful bikes.
If you can accept it as what it is, and appreciate it's enjoyable aspects, it can open a world of motorcycling that's sort of like "smelling the roses". You are more inclined to notice the surroundings instead of flying past them in a blur.
It's different. We like it.
If you decide that you would like it to be a little faster, there are ways to make that happen. But for most situations it can do fine as it is.
