If you can ride it go for it. It depends what you mean by off-road? Single trail probably not, but quad trails and fire roads should be fun. In my opinion 300lbs is too heavy for a ds so a 800lb bagger would be interesting. You would also need a suspension with at least 8 inches of travel front and rear. Stock won't cut it.

I could see using a Harley mill in a custom frame (like a Champion) for dirtwork. Sure would be unusual. Since weight is your enemy, I'd suggest a Street 750 mill as it's lighter and can be tuned to outperform a big twin. Yes, it really can.
April had a 550cc v-twin that was crazy in the dirt. Too bad they took it off the market...
