Hi, I am looking at getting my first road legal bike. Budget is about R40k. I trawled the classifieds on this forum as well as Olx etc and found a couple of options. As a newbie would be interested to hear from more experienced riders. My requirements are: short commutes (5-10km) and I would like to be able to go two-up for weekends away with gravel roads. I am 6'1" and 90kg.

Here we go:

2007 Yamaha XT660R 11k km R42k. https://m.olx.co.za/item/show/687126765 - there are a couple available in this price range.

From this forum:

2009 KLR650 32k km, R35k.

2002 F650GS ABS 42k km, R32k.

2006 F650GS 22k km, R39k.

2012 XR650L 9k km, R43k.

2003 XR650R 42k km, R39k.

Also, open to other suggestions.

Thank you
