MY girlfriend has finally got her learners licence and now is ready to own her own adventure bike,
She comes from a dirt biking background, started riding as a little girl so she can ride. But she has never had adventure biking experience

If she had her way there would be a brand new Africa Twin in the garage but I have convinced her to hold on and start with something smaller / cheaper first

I have suggested the following sop far

Yamaha Tenere XT660Z (The cheapest around is about R70k)
BMW 650X (She isnt a fan of the looks)
KTM 690 (Still far too expensive)
Honda XR650 (The look I got was priceless)

What else should we look at ?
I am hoping to keep the budget around R50k
