REDFOX This just a thought but from the sounds of things you may want to keep an eye out for the XR 400 while your looking around. The motors are well known as being bullet proof and they have more than enough grunt to get the job done. From what I hear they make great trail bikes while still able to rip it in the desert. Just a thought:ne_nau:
Another great bike is the KLX/DRZ 400. I forget what years but they are one and the same in certain years with a great reputation and plenty of spunk.
The KLX is Kawasaki and the DRZ is Suzuki. I believe for a few years they came off the same line and are an exact match.
