I'm currently looking at getting a different bike.
I commute 2.4km to work everyday - yes my office is only 1.2km from my house.
I mostly ride in town with some dirt where I get a chance.
My long distance riding buddy is leaving so I will probably do very few if any longer distance trips.
I need to be able to finance the bike - R55k max.
Having owned a DRZ SM before I might be a little biased. I absolutely loved that bike so I wouldn't mind getting one again. The E might be a better bet with better carb and offroad capability? DRZ is looking very tempting at the moment especially if one considers that they E model is going for R52k new and the SM R55k.
Is a WR450 an option at all? I remember seeing a couple of roadworthy ones and people using them as DS bikes. What are service intervals like and secondly will it last? Is this an option at all?
I would have loved to get a XR650R and would have bought pistonslap's bike if there was a way for me to finance it.
Anything else I am missing.
